Default Someone in Germany?

I want to buy a small part from a company in Germany they want way too much to ship so I am thinking if someone over there bought it and sent it to me it might be a lot less - PM me if you can help.

Shipping costs have exploded in the last 3-6 months, I do a ton of shipping, some shipments have gone up 5-10 fold, so just pay them, your not gonna find much cheaper and could be bigger hassle.

Yeah, I have noticed it as well...at least I got a couple others to chip in - I do not have what I do today by giving it away yesterday!

You can tell me what part you want and what they want to charge you for shipping

It is just a 4" aluminum trim ring for my Harley and they want 30 euros.

Sounds like a good deal. I just spent 15 dollars to ship something of similar size 300km and it took a week to get there.

I'd imagine Deutsche Post should be your cheapest option if you can get someone there to drop it at the post office for you. Otherwise, for international courier service I think 30 euro is about right.

If you are not in Germany and have nothing to contribute beat it...I did not ask for your opinion.

To everyone else, thanks...now I have an idea that the rate was appropriate.
