Default Shipping US to OZ

Hi Greg.

I've been buying bits and pieces out of the US for years and every time it's slightly different depending on what it is,where it is, who you are dealing with and whether or not you know someone thats shipping stuff back at about the same time.

One shipper lost over $2,500 worth of my stuff with the barest apology and he had been recommended by a workmate who had been dealing with him successfully for years.

My best outcomes have been achieved with Cheetah Imports who are based in Lilydale at this end. They ship out of Indianapolis, Indiana. The owner of the company lives there and his daughter looks after things here. They are importing vehicles and parts all the time. All you have to do is arrange for it to be delivered to their address in Indianapolis and it will eventually turn up in Melbourne. Talk to them first of course. They have a web site.

If you are shipping out of Los Angeles I don't know who to talk to. Maybe Cheetah could recommend someone. I've been very lucky and have a friend with contacts in the hotrod world that ship out of there fairly often.

Hope this is of some use to you

David
