I would check with Rick and see if he plans a Canada run any time soon.
Then he could slip them in to a container for the ferry across the pond.
From The UK it should be easier for you to get them John.

Canada post is far from perfect but 2/3 the cost of ups or any other courier.
I've only had 1 claim for lost/ damaged parts in the last 10 years for my pipe kits.

+1 Andrew, I have a 98% positive rating for the US and Canadian postal systems.
Lost maybe 1 or 2 package in 15+ years.
Any time I had issues with a parcel going abroad, it was related to the country receiving the parcels fault.
Sloooow customs passage, unable to deliver as buyer was not home, then it sits at a post office for a week or two.
Finally being sent back to me if the buyer does not pick it up...

etc etc etc

Never had anything I shipped to Canada go awry, and I know Canada Post is delivering the stuff.

just sayin.

Gentlemen . . . we are talking FRAMES . . and multiples thereof . . . ain't no regular postal service anywhere that's gonna touch them. Even boxing them up would be a nightmare and not worth the cost - what frames are they anyway ?

I hear ya Rick and agree completely.
Remarks were merely in defense of a good system, in mhfo anyway.
If they cant go all together in a container, it wont be worth it.
Maybe he can ask Malc or Kenny if they have room for a fee?
Only another month or so to Mid Ohio right?

OH BTW Mr B., I think we need to talk.....

Anything that Malc or Kenny buy, will, I suspect, be going into "my last" Container :shock: - Even then, getting the frames from England to Norway wouldn't be cost effective and difficult - theres an ocean to cross and a LOT of paperwork to do . . . YES, we do need to talk about Mid Ohio, I have a HUGE Fly In The Ointment that has just arisen, putting it very mildly, Mid Ohio week will now be VERY hectic for me, now that they have announced that the Marque of the meeting is again going to be Kawasaki :shock:
