This may sound crazy but I need some stuff for my ex-cop Chevy Caprice - a new dash and some lightbars.

Get this - because they are quite heavy (50kgs for the two lightbars I need) and too big for USPS they need to go separately by UPS/FedEx and that will cost at least $500 .

I got a quote from my local Yank parts supplier to bundle it with their weekly air-freight but that works out only a tiny bit less after everyone has taken their cut.

I got a price for a flight to Charlotte, NC (where the place that has the stuff is) and it would be £244 ($380). Assuming I travel light I get a free short holiday *and* get to inspect my purchases!

Any ideas on a cheaper way of shipping them before I do something stupid? Anyone coming to the UK soon with 50kgs spare luggage? :-)

Cheers,

Gareth
