Re: ship package to austrulia

Richie....it's because of the size of the box it's shipping in. I had a similiar case to Aus with an R6 front rim...I sold it with the tire and the buyer asked if I could pull it off or else the shipping would be too high he didn't care about the tire...I was like nah can't be...after going to USPS I was at the bike shop pulling the damn tire off Has to be under a certain size

that would not affect the price from 60$ to $400

Re: ship package to austrulia

maybe not 60-400 but you'd be surprised what they charge for oversize boxes...An FI cage loop is pretty wide when you have to find a box to ship it in, unless you get that nice flat one they ship it originally in.
