Company that ships wheels overseas?

elijah · 01-10-2012, 08:45 AM

So I have 4 magnificent wheels (D2Forged) waiting for me in NY but as some of you know I live overseas in Switzerland. These will be my summer wheels and I am really looking forward to installing them so this needs to be done ASAP. I almost pulled the trigger on Uniroyal RainSport II's the other day but I'm in no rush since I dnt even have the rims so I dropped the deal. What are your thoughts on those tires?

I am looking for a company that will ship them over for a decent price. I am not so familiar with those companies therefor asking for help, advice or recommendations from you guys.

Any response is greatly appreciated.

Had my 360 Forged shipped to Dubai via FedEx, I know UPS also quoted a decent price when I had a different set lined up about 6 months ago.

Good luck.

I'm not sure what FedEx charged for my 360's as it was all one package price but IIRC UPS quoted me 4 and change.

Go through UPS, FedEx is iffy sometimes from a customer service standpoint. UPS has been rock solid. I have shipped many wheels with them and even an exhaust system sent to Germany.

Do the wheels meet TÜV standards? If not you could have problems doing your technical inspections or just a police control

I sent an email, called & I'm waiting for the shop to get at me with the dimensions of the boxes in order to get the most accurate quote for shipping. Apparently they are in 4 seperate boxes :s
I'm hoping not more than 1k to ship to Switzerland
