Anybody had any experience sending parts abroad?
Im looking for a reasonable quote to post a pair of Lambretta sidepanels to the U.S.A.
So far all quotes have been far more than the panels are worth
One company of jokers quoted me just shy of £400.................tossers!

Shipping is the big killer on a lot of these deals. It's bad both directions. Panels are even harder to move due to size.

I use a site called Parcel 2 Go https://www.parcel2go.com/?gclid=EAIaIQ ... gL22vD_BwE

I live in spain I buy local stuff but also buy from England I have found scooterestorations the most reasonable and efficient

You could try parcel monkey but not sure if they have any sort of size restrictions,i send a lot of records out and have a few buyers from China and it costs £62 to send 10kgs using them.Like i say i'm not sure if they have size restrictions but worth a shot and they do a collection option with some of the couriers they use.

Tried all suggestions but I'm afraid they are all saying the parcel is too large

How about good old ParcelFarce?

sorry miss understood your post I assumed you were buying from America how about a racing pigeon

Everyone that lives 'abroad' from where parts are lives with the price of postage.. You get used to it. It does make building a bike quite expensive.
Especially when the UK charges VAT for 'imports' of parts that are only going for a refurb. Yet doesn't refund when you get it gets sent back.
