Does anyone know approx how much it will cost to ship a complete track bike to the US from, say Northwich?

Thanks.

i don't know but you may (will) get slapped with import tax. how much is the bike?
See who your ordering off will sign it down as a gift/present, that may help reduce tax.

I'd rather pay the tax in lieu of asking the shipper to do that. So about $100 dollars?

I very much doubt that he'll get hit for import tax (see thread title).

I just won the bike for GBP273. I hope the seller completes the transaction & arranges to ship it to me.

My mistake. You're in the US and you've bought this from Northwich, right? (Just 20 miles from me, BTW). Where exactly are you? Might be able to help...

I arranged to have the bike shipped thru Interparcel (they used UPS) for 88 pounds. Cheers!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
