After filling my shopping cart on Marco's website last night with about $300 US of parts, I decided to see what sort of shipping costs I was looking at. The last order I did - a while ago - was about $40-$50 US.

Holy cr@p!!! The cost of the shipping from iGlobal came in at $267 US, and that was the cheapest option   

Has anyone used freight forwarders such as; HopShopGo, or Shipito for parts from Marco's etc? I'd be interested to know what the difference was between the websites freight estimate for international shipping and the freight forwarder. I realise that I would have to pay for shipping within the US.

Cheers,

what were you ordering, ie any large/bulky/heavy items?

Only reason i ask is that i was looking at their website at their cab decals, looking to get a set for an F14 Tomcat i have to do soon. I was thinking of ordering from Marco's but if freight is going to be THAT expensive i'll look elsewhere, or at other options to redo the cab art
