Re: [BaadAssGremlins] How to ship to Finland???

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Shipping to Finland is no problem, especially with the size of the item you 
have. My guess is that it would cost $40-$50 to ship. A suggestion besides 
paypal, which I don't do, is have them send you a Western Union transfer in 
US funds. That way, you can go get your money any place near you that does 
WU. For instance I have been sending items recently to a fellow in Ankara, 
Turkey who has a AMX. Same deal, he wires me money, I box stuff up and out 
it goes. So far I have estimated it right on the money.

I am not sure however about this front bumper he wants now though. If you 
send your covers USPS, my suggestion would be to send it not by air but by 
boat, this takes 4-6 weeks, but is cheaper and they always get their stuff. 
I have sent items to the following countries in the last 4 months: 
Australia, France, Finland, Sweden, Austria to name a few. Some send US cash 
to me as it saves fees. If your buyer is comfortable witht hat, tell him to 
wrap US cash in envelope and require your signature upon receipt. Otherwise 
it is paypal or WU. And be sure to let him know it could take 4-6 weeks to 
get item, unless he wants it by air, then a guess would be abuot $60-$95 
(again, I am guessing weight on your coers, and length) to get them there 
quicker. Most don't mind the wait however. And most also are happier than 
hell to find anytying for their AMC muscle car or driver overseas also. If 
you think finding crap for your clasic AMC or other is tough in the US, try 
being overseas where the odds are stacked against you from when the car was 
new.
