BRS Re-pack

Postby Bugwar » Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:00 pm

I have received quotes from couriers to ship my BRS-5 to the USA from R2600 to R9000!!
All of them has a different story about additional fees and charges and even quarantine (**)

Can anyone who has done this before please let me know which courier you used, what the costs were and what additional charges applied.

Thank you.

I had a look through the threads and came across this one that may be of some help..

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12600&p=126028&hilit=brs#p126028

The question I want to ask is, is a spring loaded parachute fit for purpose on a trike, and what approval is in place to use it ?

The "rocket" part is removed before sending so it is not a dangerous object. Problem is the remainder weighs 10kg's and cost an arm and a leg to courier. Maybe we should look at sending it in a batch.

Hi Bugwar,

Please contact me by PM or email as I can take your 10kg with me to the USA on the 15th of Dec.

Will courier it from Florida which should be much cheaper.

Return??? Sorry not sure that they will be finished in 3 weeks over Xmas and possibly too much shopping to bring back.
