Hi Guys,
Well the saga of my car parts continues I am afraid!
Anyone who read my previous posts will know that I had some problems with my car and due to some stupid prices here a friend of mine was going to send the required parts from the states.
Ok, so yesterday all the parts are together and in a box approx 2ft X 2ft and weighing 36lb My friend took them to the DHL office in the states and was told that delivery would be nearly 500US!! (The parts cost less than 400US so even this is cheaper than buying them here!) However the guy at the DHL office said that if anyone had an account here in the DR it would be about half that price?? Having never lived in the States and having never sent anything by DHL I dont understand this resoning but if someone could help then I would be very appeciative indeed.
If not, is there a cheaper way to send such a package here that isnt going to take too long to arrive (DHL quoted 2 days delivery).
Thanks in advance
Nick
