need some help with selecting cylinder head Mopar 408
True, sea freight is a cheaper option, but expect your heads to be available for pickup around easter by the time customs checks it out and all duties, taxes and fees are paid:tonqe:
The reason i mentioned the tax is because usually this is charged as a percentage of the item value + freight value combined.
Shipping to sweden should only be about $70 each, but the TAX is hundreds. this will almost definitely be the same whether you go air freight or sea freight.
In my case the Edelbrock heads cost around $80 each to ship via air freight.
Australia has no tax for items valued under $1000USD but we also have a pathetic postal service.
I'm in a rural area and my imported parts usually get to Australian shores in 3 business days then another 10-13 to get to my local post office which is a 50minute drive from the state's head post office in Melbourne..
This is the case regardless of whether I use USPS, or a courier company like UPS, FEDEX, DHL etc
(They just cost more and aren't any quicker)
We have arguably the most thorough and stringent customs in the world, and as a result extremely slow international mail on our end.
I'll stop ranting now, I promise
