Default Best site to offer international shipping

Hi all
I just want to ask about the best sites to buy from , that offers international shipping.
Since i live in kuwait its really hard to find well priced shipping
I went on quadratec for the arm pad wich costs 45$
And the cost just for the shipping was 104$ by UPS
So , any site that offers USPS will be good , thanks all

I live in beirut Lebanon and I faced the exact same problem. I ordered the Teraflex BB from Quadratec. The initial price was 495$, After shipping (Fedex), custom fees and VAT I ended up paying 1100$ for the kit!!!! International shippement fees are very expensive and i dont think you will find something reliable for less. It's so unfair but I guess we got to live with it.

I ordered some jks disconnects from Quadratec , can't remember the exact price, but as long as it's under AU$1000.000 you don't need to pay import taxes in Australia, have a look there might be something similar where you are

The great thing here is that the texes are very low , most orders are taxfree .
Shipping prices is what i suffer from , the only way to avoid it is by USPS.
Thanks for your input anyway

I got ur point, USPS sounds like a great option let me know if u find any site.
BTW I'm soooo jealous of the fuel prices in kweit, in lebanon it's $1.19/L $95 for a full JK tank!!

Hi All from Middle East...

You don't have much options...
International shipping will be high and most likely you will end up paying alt least 5% in duties. Companies will send the order by USPS only if you have APO address. Most likely you don't...

My suggestion that you don't order one item at a time, you make a big list, get a freight forward in US to consolidate for you and ship by ocean or air. That will save you a lot.

If you need info of some good company in your country that can handle this, pm me and I will give you the name.
