Anyone know of a company that will ship parts to the US without costing me a fortune? I will be looking for all the front end panels and some other parts as well.
Thanks,
William

Simple answer is no... as shipping to the USA costs a fortune 
Unfortunately the price you pay is what we are being charged to send it you.

Why don't you just order from a US supplier?

Or is that to mislead people

Get the parts shipped to the base in Suffolk.
Then get friendly with one of the loadmasters and get him throw the pallet on a C-17 for you and bobs your uncle you can collect the parts in the US! lol

Don't use MiniMania, it's cheaper to just buy the parts from Mini Spares and have them shipped UPS international. Ship times from Mini Spares to California via UPS are like a week and a half, and UPS handles all the import hassles.
If it's too big for a box and will need to go on a crate, well, good luck. You're going to get shafted either way.

One Carb Or Two?

i always use interparcel so send things to myself
the only thing is that they collect and dont take things that are too big i think that 1 meter is the max length
i did use them when i bought my front panel and wings off of ebay i got them sent to my parents, the wings went no problems but the front panel was only just too big ( about 2 cm ) so my dad bent the edges in slightly so that it was the correct length and when i fitted them again i just straightened it again
