I had a set of wheels shipped from Germany to the US and that cost me about $450.
I checked around and found FedEx to be the best deal of the big three (FedEx, UPS, DHL).
Given that DHL is owned by Deutsche Post, you may be able to get a better deal from them at your end.
I guess the most expensive item will be the rear bumper skirt. That thing is both wide, and deep.

Within the US I use air freight, I would think there are companies that do that internationally. The airlines want to fill their bellies to make as much money as they can. Of course someone has to take it to say Frankfurt am Main and someone else has to pick it up at an airport here.

Roland, Forget about UPS, FedEx. or DHL directly. The Deutshe Post Express service is delivered by DHL in the US, and it will be for less than a third of what the other shipping co. charge. BTW, the Deutsche Post owns DHL.
I helped a member ship some OZ wheel parts via my Mothers house in Germany, and it was the cheapest by far.
Cheers, Horst
thx Horst, i´ll wait for a research till i got the measures of the parcel exactly.
There is a little chance to get a big lot auf aerodynimic sets from different makers - i´m offered an attic of 400 m² full of all kinds of stuff The former tuner has closed his doors 20 years ago and a steelworker company sits in the building. They need to get rid of the parts for fire insurance reasons.
Den Simon kenne ich auch aus dem deutschen W126 Forum, ein netter Kerl, wie es scheint. Bielefeld ist übrigens in letzter Zeit öfters ein Anlaufpunkt für mich - oder besser gesagt Leopoldshöhe. Dort ist der Sektionsstammtisch OWL des S-Klasse-Clubs angesiedelt. Wenn Du mal wieder hier drüben bist, melde Dich bei mir
Gruß aus Kölle Roland
