$275 shipping is making a tidy profit for him. Stroke him a bit and ask for a more realistic price, tell him you have had parts shipped from the states before and cannot understand why his costs is so high. Also ffs don’t let him or anyone use UPS! As you will get sh#gged in every direction possible. If he wont help with a realistic shipping and more important a sensible customs declaration then you a right to walk away. Standard mail postal costs from the US are far cheaper than here, for example I just had a mate post me in a new crash helmet with spares visors and a new pair of gloves. All parcelled in the original helmet box, delivered in nine days
tracked and signed for…..postage cost….$38.00
