Default international shipping from sewell

Anyone have any ideas who I can contact at Sewell to see if they can organise more reasonably price shipping to NZ for smaller items?

All I was after was a set of the chrome door locks - $49.60 - sweet. But after adding shipping = $139.34 (that's the cheapest of the two options).

Alternatively I can send it to an intermediary shipping solution, who will unbox, repack into smaller space and then send it on, minus their own fee. It's a lot of hassle to go through to get a couple of little bits of chrome, which could hardly cost that much to ship. (I spend a good 10k a year on items from America but have never come across such harsh shipping prices for small/lightweight goods to NZ.)

Thanks!

Jay

Thanks.

For some reason I thought I had seen them post here, so thought there might be someone in particular.

Will give that a shot, thanks again.

Keen to hear how you got on, I've been looking at some bulkier F-Sport parts but shipping it many hundreds.

I contacted them a while back about a spare key (FYI the Japanese ones are different), didn't buy anything but found them great to deal with considering I'm on the other side of the world.

Another option is Amayama, if you can get a part number they usually have rather sharp pricing.

I live in Guam and had to use a freight forwarding service because the shipping prices were outrageous. Suggest you look into those.

I'm from Australia - asked Sewell for cheaper shipping they won't do it. Had to use a freight forwarder.

How much was it to use a freight forwarder? Im also in Australia and shipping is ridiculous!
