All you guys who live out of counrty...I'll make a deal for you, and try to save you some money.
Send me money via Pay-pal. eaxact price of the item you want. I'll go to jegs and pick it up myself, either from their store front, or will-call at the warehouse. I live 35 minutes from their closest storefront, and 20 minutes from their huge warehouse.
I will then label the package as "used junk, value $5" and ship it to you the cheapest way I can--whether it's in an envelope through the USPS, or a box through Fed-ex.
all I ask is you pay me what it costs me...for the part plus the shipping.
maybe i can help you guys save money on import taxes and crap.
problem is, I'm in Afghanistan right now for another 40 days or so.

thats a great offer but as BG found when he tried to send me a couple of items, it's harder than you think. customs stop short of giving you a cavity search when you send items they can't identify on their x ray machine. ask BG.

Who cares what Customs THINKS it is? If you put the exact description on the package/forms, there shouldn't be any reason why it won't make it through...as long as it's not fruits/produce, meat, or other illegal items, they shouldn't care...all they are looking for is the value that you say they are worth.
you want a new tachometer? just list "automotive gauge--tachometer, used" in the item description, then in the value columm, put "$5"

This does work...........and is a great offer to boot.
I have sent switchblade knives to Europe , labeling them " spring compressors " , which they are of a sort and haven't lost one yet.
This is probably going to end my streak , but it has worked about a dozen times.
Strangely , Canada seems to be the worst in terms of delays.
But I will put myself out there as a freight forwarder if anyone needs this kind of assistance.
Smaller stuff can easily go as a gift too , which gets less attention duty wise.

I wish everyone thought like you, we'd get a better deal all round.
Some small traders are more accommodating than others.
I may just contact you in the future.

Anytime! Like I say, I live just a 20 minute drive from the Jegs warehouse. I can call their 1-800 number, tell them it's a willcall order, and pick anything up from their cataloge in 4 hours. and it's a 24 hour operation at the ware house, but the will-call window is only open from like 8-5, but you can call them at 7 when you wake up, puts around the house, then go pick it up by lunch time.
All I ask is that you cover whatever it costs me to buy the part and ship it...I wanna help you guys out, but I'm not loaded 
I like the "gift" idea, I forgot about that one. it's your birthday soon, right?
