Shipping: Australia to USA

wn1fju:
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.

Shipping from Australia to USA is not cheap.

This is the key.

Never used that service, so cannot comment.

Shipping from Australia to anywhere overseas is not cheap - except for Tasmania.  :D

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.
