    need shipping help from Germany to USA

    so i want to get a set of fiberglass doors for the racecar. and they are already paid for, but now they said i need to pay another $1048 EURO for shipping to USA!!!! WTF!

    i paid $150 GBP for an RS2 trans on a pallet from UK to USA, and that weight was a hell of a lot more than fiberglass doors weighing 6.3kg ea.

    the boxes are 145x75x25cm and 10kg each.

    in USA we can take things to the airport and have it shipped here and picked up at the airport here. or even shipping company terminal to terminal.

    my friend is saying that the problem is with DHL not delivering here and the US Postal Office will not do the delivery.

    HELP!!!! this is a 50 pounds savings off the car, and i need it any ideas???

          you have to lie slightly to get that price but even at the correct dimensions the most expensive was about £300
