need help from australia

Post by wolseley 1000 »

Hi,
could get some fantastic aussi doors for my Wolseley 1000 from a guy over there.
Problem is that he doesn´t send them and my local cargo companies in austria
don´t do business with australia from private to private :cry:
Well basicly I need someone with a company over there that could send them to me.
Anyone any idea? Money transfer could be done via Bank, credit card, PayPal, etc.

I'm probably not in a position to help you directly but there are companies that will freight them for you, private to private. For example Pack & Send would pick them up from the persons house, package them, and freight them to Austria. They'll charge you for it though.

Another alternative would be to contact one of the big international freight companies in Austria (TNT would be a good choice) and arrange an account with them. Once you have an account TNT Australia will do the pickup and shipping from this end. Other options might be Fedex, DHL or UPS.

Where in Australia are the doors? Its a big country.

TIM,
thanx for your suggestions, I have spoken to TNT and DHL, they won´t do the job. Fedex and UPS could be an alternative! :D

SEAN,
it´s good to know you there and I appreciate your help very much, but where in S.A. can you find parts on the internet?
