Shipping costs from the USA

I need some parts in the states. The parts costs $288, but shipping is $450. Does anyone know of a cost effective way to bring parts in?

Let me guess... you want to buy something from CB...

CB only ships using priority mail, air freight, 4-7 day service.
Look into another company, who ships using usps (go to usps.com to calc shipping costs), then use their 7-10 day air freight or the surface mail option (up to 3 months, but much cheaper).

Remember to add 34% to your budget for taxes, or get the dealer to value you parcel at a lower price and post your invoice to you seperately.

The guys who have served me the best is aircooled.net and type4store, they are 100% reliable and from what I lost this year, I'll rather pay a bit extra and get the parts
