I am considering purchasing a bike case from the US online, but am getting conflicting reports about
what can and cannot be shipped via the mail system.
The case I am considering is a Trico Ironcase which is 47 long x 10.5 wide x
30.5 high (inches) and is 31lb. Even allowing for freight costs, Australian GST, currency exchange
etc, there are substantial savings to be had over purchasing locally.
It needs to be shipped to Melbourne Australia. Many people have reported that they have been able to
ship this very item via UPS and other carriers without issue. The problem is that according to the
UPS site, it exceeds the maximum size restrictions.
Possibly UPS have tightened up their restrictions recently?
I have emailed UPS tp clarify, but while I am waiting for a reply I thought I would post, asking
others for details of recent experiences.
Any advice that can be provided is appreciated.
Regards,
Craig
