I sorted a group LB order recently. Shipping was £336.46 in total for 2x wheelsets and 5x rims. It was shipped in two boxes in the end. One box has arrived so far (7 weeks after payment), no customs fees incurred. Second box has rims/wheels with longer lead time, should arrive soon (i.e. 9 weeks after payment).
Big orders work out better in general, and rims are cheaper to ship than wheelsets. But it's nuanced and it's all about filling the shipping boxes efficiently - you get charged per box. Our first box came with 4 rims and 2 wheels and was packed really efficiently so that the rims filled the space around the wheels.
Note that the shipping calc on their website shopping cart is not accurate. Just get an order together and email them. You can ask for a discount by email, and yeah 5% is the most they offer.
What is the current forum advice on LB’s shipping options and handling charges? When I’ve ordered wheels before they had various shipping options. Also, up thread a 5% discount is mentioned / still good?
