LOVE the USPS flat rate service

Sent a set of Wizard pistons, Hi Per Con Rod bearings, TDR reeds, NGK spark plugs all in a 12" X 12"X 6" ( large flat rate box ) weighed 12 lbs to Europe and will arrive in 7 to 10 days for $53.00 USD ...

I'd suggest to my European friends that when and if you order parts from US it would save you money to request shipping with the flat rate box system, if your freight fits the size and weight requirements...

Now thats a deal Neal !

Jay

I've tried the USPS flat rate system in the past, but a lot of my suppliers wont use it, preferring the convenience of a "courier" service.

When it was used, it was very good, although it was slow, and one parcel never did arrive!

WE have just started using it for small shipments abroad and for the first 5 or 6 sent they have been delivered on time OR early and all have reached their destinations safely.. ( No damages )

Enjoyed our conversation the other morning Steve, hopefully some of those "tricks" we talked about that I do to my engines will help your motor out a bit...

Get well,
Cheers,
Jay
