USPS airmail $75 and upwards depending on how well it is packed. My Dirtwerx frame only came in a pretty decent box and was $50.
Why oh why do I still buy kids bikes!

Ive shipped two or three F&Fs out of the states recently and they usually charge around $60-65 using united states postal service which is the cheapest option.  :daumenhoch:

Tell me about it! I suppose it depends on whereabouts in America it comes from, and how long our friends at customs hang onto it etc.. It took a couple of weeks for my TA to arrive, and im still waiting for my PK...and several parts from various people, but its a risk you gotta take I guess!

Hi There,

I've a Gt Performer F&F coming for San Fran, with bars & a few bits for $65 but it's going to take 4-6 weeks!!
Still i've been waiting 20 odd years for one so heh, it ain't so bad.

Paying more for postage than the gear though always grinds a bit.

I also bought a layback seat post from US recently, $11, H&M wanted £27.50 to release it!!!

Yes, can relate to that one, my experience so far is that ive ordered loads of parts from the US over the last few weeks, but only 3 have been held by customs until I pay their release fee, through Parcel Force, and it doesnt seem to matter whether its a big or small parcel or what the value is.  I think its luck of the draw which parcel they pull out and charge you for. If you bought in a box full of high explosive addressed to Osama B, im sure it would sail through without a second glance!

As San Fran is over on the west coast, it takes that extra time to get it accross the US. Good things come to those who wait!!!  :D
