Update Sep 2025: It is currently not possible to send anything to the United States by regular mail, as PostNL has temporarily suspended this service.

This is due to the fact that USPS is currently unable to handle customs clearance due to the new import tariffs.

 

The DHL/UPS/Fedex dilemma

Courier companies, such as UPS, DHL and Fedex, determine the price for sending packages based on the package weight or the package volume (volumetric weight).

The highest number is used to calculate the shipping costs.

To determine the volumetric weight, the dimensions (in cm) are multiplied and divided by 5000.


For example:

1) package weight: 10 kgs

    package dimensions:  40 x 40 x 20 cm

    Volumetric weight: (40 x 40 x 20) / 5000 = 6.4 kgs

    In this case, the actual package weight of 10 kgs determines the shipping costs

 

2) package weight: 10 kgs

     package dimensions:  60 x 60 x 20 cm

     Volumetric weight: (60 x 060 x 20) / 5000 = 14.4 kgs

     In this case, the actual package weight of 14.4 kgs determines the shipping costs

 

The weight is known for every article in our webshop; 
when an order is placed, the package weight is the sum of the weight of all ordered parts.
When the volumetric weight of the package does not exceed the package weight in kgs, the shipping costs calculated in the web shop, are accurate.

However, when larger parts are ordered, such as handlebars, exhaust pipes, mufflers, rims etc, the part weight is lower than the volumetric weight.
In those cases, the shipping costs calculated by the system are too low.

Instead of the weight in kgs, we could decide to add the volumetric weight of those parts in the web shop.
However, the sum of the volumetric weights is in most cases higher than the actual package volumetric weight.
This would result in too high shipping costs calculated by the system.

It is therefor impossible for us to be 100% correct with the automatically calculated DHL shipping cost.
If the actual DHL shipping cost is higher or lower, we will notify you / refund the overpaid shipping cost.
You will be given the choice to cancel the order if you do not want to pay for the extra shiping costs.
