Getting tyres from Netherlands to CT

Post by Dwaal »

Hello

Does anybody have any experience with transporting large packages from the Netherlands to SA?

I have a set of 5 31" Cooper STT's lying in the Netherlands that I need to get to CT...the set will prob cost me about R4000 for brand new tyres.

I suspect it'll be difficult to fit those into a envelope...

Thanx

Shipping ... most viable option. Just takes a while. ;-)
