knowing the freight and handling cost seems worth checking. I recently obtained a small bracket which was sent USPost and the domestic price doubled by the time I took delivery. Thus freight and handling and exchange was 100%. The wheels apparently shipped Fedex at $95 each gives a freight cost of about 50% and quite likely the wheels could have been charged on a volumetric formula not weight.That sounds pretty good.

As a matter of interest importers shipping full containers can get under 10% for freight handling and insurance. An interesting subject given the noise in the press about buying on the internet.

I* have just ordered some centre caps for my 17 inch Enkies from Brian and cannot fault the service, got back to me quickly and as others have suggested we sorted out a PayPal invioce and he suggested an alternative freight service which was cheaper.
