I asked American Muscle I think if they'd declare lower value... They didn't agree.
It also depends on the post office. Here in the small town where I live they ask for the paypal receipt and all. At home in the big city, it usually comes home if they don't think it's relevant to ask for tax.
In any case, buying 1000$ product and declaring 500$ is still a win. Ofc don't say it was 10$ for a huge turbo )

I'm using viabox form various reason:

- some vendors don't ship to europe\italy
(e.g. T10 led lights from ebay)

- other vendors ship to europe at insane prices
(e.g. redline racing quicklift plus $99 shipping $45)

- combining many packages in one will save alot on shipping costs
(e.g. fitting quicklift in the same package as the rear decklid)

- our customs apply fixed fee per package + variable fees depending on goods, so having only one package I'll pay only one fixed fee (but the same varible fees)

+1 on papinist reasons. Exactly my point why this services are great for us all if you want to order accessoires and buy a lot online from the US.

also on Viabox you can compile your own custom declaration form and declare whatever value you want, but that's not the point because at least italian custom can open the package and set the value itself , if they not agreed with what you have declared.
So receiving a giant package with $50 value could not be so smart..

Can you select USPS express or only courier services?

A fellow forumer Need 4 Steed responded to a dimension question of mine of the GT350 steering wheel.
So in case any of you guys want one and wondering on the shipping. Box dimensions.

5 pounds
16 in x 16 in x 7 in

Aramex is 50. DHL is 110. Declare 50$ package. Takes you around 200-220 €. Decent for a sport wheel.

So, after 8 orders to stackry I now let everything repacked.

They are very quick on my support mails. They split everything on 2 boxes now.

Had to pay 170$ for everything, 20 lbs weight.

I did USPS EXpress like someone suggested here on the forum

Still waiting.. tracking says that it is waiting for the customs.

Not sure USPS express is the fastest option.

I'm just waiting for pictures from Viabox and then repackaging. 9 orders for me

 

[YLA G]

How much lbs? Let's compare the prices

 

[papinist]

Don't know yet.. I'll post as soon as I got news from viabox

Edit: checked my orders page, I have a total of 37 lbs as 'actual weight' and 106 lb as 'dimensional weight'. Repackaging all together should reduce consinstently the dimensional weight!
(I added other impossible to find stuff not mustang related )

Alright!

Everything arrived today from Stackry.com! Like others said before, 7 days at customs (Belgium) and a lot less taxes then normal.. and really a lot less thx to papinist tip to use USPS express!

GT350 steering wheel, Realy big intake from MMR, hood pumps, and a lot more small stuff.. only 100 + 30 euro

 

[papinist]

You bought stuff with great advance since your car is due to arrive in march 2016!!

Viabox split my 9 packages in 2 boxes, first actual weight 10 and dim. weight 30 lbs, the second 24 and 42 lbs.
Shipping costs are USD 150 for the first and USD 198 for the second, combining together I get a discount and the total is USD 330. Shipping service is Aramex (3-7 business days), and it's the cheapest (other choices are TNT, DHL and UPS)

I'm waiting for the pictures so I can select the appropriate item categories for each package.
