Wow!, thats loads of money  :shock:
I've sold a few things to USA/Canada and the postage is always silly expensive.
The only conclusion i could draw was that over here there is an obundance of Land Rover parts and over the other side of the pond, there is'nt.

I once sold some old bottles (dug up in the garden) on Ebay. A lady from Callifornia bought them. When I advised of over 60 quid postage she replied that she had not noticed I was in the UK, but okay send them anyway, and paid up!!!

Tell him to make sure he gets a quote from Purolator and DHL

I have had a quote for a Vitara cluth that came to about £30 from Purolator.
