Shipping to Germany
Just sold some scooby shocks and springs on ebay, he gave me his address which looked a bit odd but he is in the army so i thought must be some top secret address in uk as it said uk at the end of it. Turns out its in Germany, i charged 25 quid for postage but i'm guessing it's going to be more.
Has anyone shipped to Germany etc and who did you use.
Cheers

Hi mate. If its a BFPO address, it costs the same to send it anywhere in the world, as it would be to send it somewhere in the UK. So don't worry.
I got my 18 Alloys and tyres sent out to me in Cyprus for the same price as posting it to somewhere in the UK.
Basically it gets sent to the Military Post Office in London, and the MOD cover the cost to ship it to wherever the BFPO address is. You have to make sure its sent by a courier company like ParcelForce or Royal Mail though, for security reasons.

As CyprusScooby say's, you only pay the same postage that you would pay for sending it in the UK.
The reason for this is simple, you are only sending it to a Uk address initially, it will go to Mill Hill in London and thats what you are paying for, to send it there. As has been said already, from there it is shipped out by the military system and is done free of charge from there on in.
