I would be interested in hearing successes/failures in shipping fairly large, fragile objects from Australia to East Coast USA. I'm contemplating buying a set of bicycle wheels (Caden wheels near Sydney) and I'm a bit nervous that they would arrive safely. |

They'll be fine as long as the person sending them to you does an excellent job in packing. If you don't trust the sender, tell them to take the wheels to a "Pack and Send" store who will overpack them nicely. https://www.packsend.com.au/ Shipping from Australia to USA is not cheap. |

If the seller cannot pack them themselves, then I second to go to Pack and Send, used them many times in the past for various size items. You could call/email Pack and Send and ask for a quote. |

Thanks for the comments. The seller operates a business making these wheels and ships worldwide, so presumably he knows what he is doing. Still, it does make me a bit nervous especially having seen some of the local shipping mishaps on several of my test equipment adventures. I ordered the wheels so I guess I'll find out in a few weeks. |
