POSTAL
SERVICE
If
possible, we ship your international order by United States Postal
Service (USPS). USPS no longer offers a "surface" option,
your parts will ship by airmail only.
There
are strict size limits for airmail shipments. These limits consist
of the girth (circumference) plus the length of the box.
Most
countries allow box sizes up to 108" combined (i.e. 18"x18"x36").
There
is one major exception, the maximum box size to Australia
is 79" (i.e. 12"x12"x30"). Big enough
for a vintage seat, a fender or a small quarter fairing but that
is about it.
Our international
shipping team is very experienced and can usually tell you straight
off the bat, if postal service is an option or not. If airmail is
possible most parts can ship for $78-$105.
FREIGHT
SERVICE
All boxes that are too large to ship by postal service
will be shipped using a specialized freight service. This is expensive,
but still much cheaper than UPS, Fedex or DHL.
SHIPPING
QUOTES
For international customers only (!): international@motobody.com
To obtain a quote, please email us the following information:
city, postal code and country. Residential or bussiness delivery
is always possible, but we will usually send you a door-to-airport
quote first to give you an idea of shipping cost (see below).
DOOR-TO-AIRPORT
This is by far the cheapest freight option. We
ship the parts to the large international airport nearest you. The
freight service will contact you when the parts arrive at the airport.
You go to the airport to pick the parts up, and take them through
customs yourself. You will save at least a few hundered dollars
compared to delivery to a business, and even more compared to residential
delivery. Door-to-airport quotes can be as low as $200, depending
on box size and destination.
LOCAL
DUTIES / FEES
We
only charge you for the parts and international shipping on our
end. Our shipping quotes do not include local duties and import
/ sales tax on your end. Your customs office will contact you for
payment. If you wish to find out what cost will be involved please
contact your local customs office. We do not have this information.
CUSTOMS
VALUE
Please do not ask us to mark your shipments as gifts or
samples, or to tamper with invoiced amounts. This is illegal and
we will not do it. No exceptions.
PAYMENT
Payment by credit card (Visa, Mastercard) or bank transfer
(large orders). We do not have a Paypal account.
Orders
can be placed by email, but credit card payments are better made
by phone for security reasons.
