Whats the chances of a pair of mint xenons making it to Egypt intact, I had these as collection only but a guy with good feedback in bloody Egypt wants them..badly. Didn't think they even got the Omega!!

Should be ok , i just sent an Irmscher back box to Russia 

[Sir Tigger KC]

If they're well packed there's no reason why they wouldn't arrive intact anymore than anywhere else.

As you said collection only the buyer should take the risk on shipping.....

Ive had enquries from Greece and Germany for my 3.2 engine recently.Its going to need a seriously big jiffy bag.

Bloke i sold to in Russia has bought loads of car parts from the uk , seems the postage does not bother them ... he even paid my petrol to deliver to the mailing depot

Parts are so much more expensive in most other countries that they are getting a bargain,even including delivery charges.

It always surprises me how UK sellers limit their sales with "collection only", buyer arranges courier, UK only.

When I lived in the UK I sold lots of stuff all around the world including an antique oil can to Australia.

Now I live abroad , I find it really infuriating that most stuff is UK only.!! It is stiull cheaper to but online and pay the postage.

I will pretty much send anything anywhere,but sending an engine (and possibly gearbox) to Germany might be a bit of a challenge.
Need to build a crate or similar to send it in. Also have no facilities here to lift it,so courier would need to have a pallet truck or similar to put it in their van. Not impossible by any means,but a fair bit of aggro.

Agreed. Aren't there any "crate" equivalents to pallets? Presumably if you have to make one or acquire one that gets included in P and P! Having seen the price of salvage parts in Spain it can be nearly as cheap to buy a car and drive it over for something like an engine........

You need to find a company that does groupage, the likes of dhl,ups etc charge a fortune, i think you need to google "deliver my parcel" or "interparcel" biggest problem with large items is customs.

[albitz]

If its within the EU,c ustoms shouldn't be a problem (in theory at least). Outside  the EU though,it can be in the lap of the gods.
I sent Cem a diff about 2 years ago,and it got as far as customs at Instanbul As far as we know,its still there.They wouldn't allow him to take delivery of it.

unfortunately , our custom rules are larger than encyclopedia britannica and they forbid second hand parts

You needed an OOFer going on holiday to Turkey who would have been willing to pop it in their hand baggage!!!
