beware of KAL112

You should be able to get a round-trip ticket to Kuwait for $1200...

And my best guess is that KAL112 is some punk kid who feels brave online. For all you know, he doesn't even have an M3.

Look, unless the OP overnighted the exhaust $1,200 is excessive. I bet that a big chunk of that is duty.... and duties are often sellers responsibility. Just like PayPal fees.

So this one is not clear black and white. The way you LEGALLY fill out customs form has a BIG impact on how much duty is assessed. For example "used" often saves a bunch.

I hope you guys resolve it. But a bit unfair for people to be jumping all over this with only one side of the story.

Again, I have also learned the hard way. USPS is your friend for international shipments (including and especially Canada). Avoid FedEx and UPS.

Really? This may be true for the U.S..but over here, that's rarely ever the case...and I'm talking about shipments coming from US..
