Bill-V8V Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hi Thomas I know there was a map on the web site a few years ago that would show dealers outside of the US but I don't see it anymore. I'm sure Dan and or Chris will have access to that information. I'm sure someone will be along with the info you need soon If not you could give the 800 number a call. Where will you be visiting ?

csikx Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 What about DHL? I believe they focus on global shipping. ThomasT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) You're going to get what you pay for. You could do the slow boat and the least expensive which will be the postal service. But with that you there is really no guarantee and the tracking is awful. Package will be passed from US Postal Service to the UK Postal Service. UPS and FedEx will be your best bet, although it will be pricey, and the package will be transported thru one company from start to finish. You may want to do a cost comparison with taking an another suitcase and compare it to shipping. When shipping freight, especially on a plane, they are going to hit you with what is called dimensional weight. Space on a plane is expensive. It is basically measuring of the package Length X Width X Height / 139. I used the UPS formula for an example. Which ever is greater, dimensional, or actual weight, is what you will be charged. FedEx is going to be similar. Link below explaining. Another tip to save money is don't go to a shipping outlet, go directly to the UPS or FedEx facility themselves, where the trucks are dispatched from. Not a UPS store or FedEx Kinkos for example, those stores you see around town. They are independently owned and will charge slightly more than actual prices. Or you can generate your own label and waybills and print them off and take them to a drop off location. Keep in mind you will have to have to fill out a waybill, in addition to the shipping label. FedEx may call it something else. It is basically an itemized description of everything in the package and value. You will then get hit with an import fee. Whether you pay for it when it shows up at your door in the UK, or when you ship the package and prepay it. Whether you go UPS or FedEx the forms are free and you can ask for them at any shipping location. You can then fill them out on your own and attach to package and drop it off for shipping. Don't seal the waybill pouch as they will have to examine the documents for accuracy. Below are a couple links that may help you. https://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/ship/packaging/dim_weight.html?WT.mc_id=VAN701060 https://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/ship/packaging/supplies/forms.html#UPS+Worldwide+Services+Waybill Link below will give you an idea on time in transit international UPS. Again FedEx is probably similar. https://www.ups.com/content/us/en/shipping/time/service/shipping/ FedEx is going to be similar. I just know how the UPS system works. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask and I will be more than happy to help answer. As Bill mentioned, you may want to call Adams and ask if there is a European Dealer too. Edit: Looks like in your other post you found a Dealer in the UK. I guarantee that is going to be your best bet as opposed to shipping.

ThomasT Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 LFairbanks thanks didnt know about import duty.My dad just explained it to me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Best case is get with your UK dealer and see what they carry. If you find something smallish on the US website you want (new Visco clay maybe, t shirt, etc.) that shipped to your FL destination and put it in the checked luggage (no aerosols!).

James__ Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 What about liquids? I know that TSA is pretty picky on liquid quantities but I am unsure of the restrictions on international travel. ThomasT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lljimll Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Put it into your checked bags (not carry on) you should be fine ThomasT, James__, LFairbanks and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunwistow Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Just buy from Jeff @ Prestigecarcare in the UK. ThomasT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 TSA has MANY less restrictions in checked baggage. So that is an option, thou temps may be a problem its a long cold flight. I would take Shauns recommendation and use your local dealer. ThomasT and shaunwistow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
