      OMG, the German Post Office owns the UK too????!!!!!!


      ;)

      They have the usual shipping co's like UPS, Fedex, DHL in the UK, also some UK-based co's like Parcelforce (might be a part of Royal Mail??). The problem is that it can be really pricey to ship stuff overseas- especially large things like airdams, etc. The good thing about the UK is that you at least speak the same language so you can do alot of the research yourself. Get on a UK centered BMW board and ask around.

        I've had a few items shipped Deutsche Post (arrives USPS at your door). In fact, I just received a set of wheels today. The cost was about $140 US dollars. As other s have said, it could be costly and it does take between 3-4 weeks for a package to arrive via ground. Larger items could excede their size limitations. In this event, you'll have no other choice then to use UPS, Fedex, or the such. Be prepared to spend a nice chunk of change.

          OK, but is Deutsche Post running in the UK (well, besides DHL.....)????

          UK Post is "Royal Mail". He said he's shipping from UK.
