I'm sending wheels to someone in Belgium. Ups wants $400 to do it. It would take 4-5 days. This is the only way they do it now. Is there a cheaper way? I could buy a round trip ticket and bring them myself.

I am flying to brussels later today and could take them in my luggage!

Well, there is a guy there wanting 2.0L alloys. But you probably don't have any.

I used USPS for shipping a 914 steering wheel to Germany. Was the cheapest way to ship. I think it costed about $30. They claimed it would take the slow boat to Europe, literally. Shipped by boat with 6-10 week delivery time.

RPS, UPS, DHL, Fedex, ... do not have a "slow boat" option for shipping to Europe and the cheapest I found was about $150 for the steering wheel.
