Over seas shipping costs.
I sent some small Bridgestone parts from the USA to the UK and the cost was 13.95 with out insurance.
So if you are buying parts for your Bridgestone from the USA its not cheap and if you have to add
Insurance to it the parts can add up ,so when you order you parts get a shipping price and one more.
Thing, you can not put gift on the parcel sometimes they open the parcel they know its not a gift
And both party's can get into trouble on both sides of the pond.
Thanks.
Steve.
