    2. If you're buying parts then we add a flat 15% free on top

  • Shipping of EV vehicles?

    IMPORTANT NOTICE:

    Global shipping lines have banned EV's and PHEV vehicles. A major reason for this ruling is due to a fire which broke out onboard a MOL vessel the Felicity Ace which sank in the Atlantic.  The cause of the fire was traced back to an EV vehicle.  

    The only current option is to ship with Hapag Lloyd (HPL) - however cars must be shipped as dangerous goods and will attract a DG surcharge of US$1300.00 per container.  Good are shipped by standard 40ft HQ container with no restrictions on the number of cars to be loaded.
