Shipping parts from Australia
Am asking for advice on whom to contact for shipping of parts (RH hogs head, steering column, firewall, etc) that I wish to purchase from Queensland Australia. Is there a shipper recommended in the USA that can provide shipping, prefer midwest near Fort Wayne Indiana if possible.

Re: Shipping parts from Australia
I have yet to arrange an international shipment via DHL, but have received several from various countries (including AU). Boxes, loose tires, and small pallets too. From my perspective, dealing with DHL was great. I would like to believe that they make arranging the shipment equally easy…

Re: Shipping parts from Australia
I have used a firm called Pack-and-Send to send a set of Hayes wire wheels to the USA. They handle the paperwork this end and then organise the shipping. They may well use DHL or Fedex as the actual carrier. Painless for me and the buyer. It was easy for me to set up, and all the buyer had to do was wait for the deli very
Shipping a steering column will increase cost of the shipment due to its length over stepping a single pallet.The only real difference to a LHD column is the control rods. It would not be difficult to convert a LHD column for a RHD setup. You just need a RHD bracket on the frame end.
Hope this helps.
