It is worth speaking to Kingas about collection and delivery.
For my last batch (7 strut heads) he arranged the collection and delivery back.
I think it cost £30 each way.

How does one speak to Kingas these days John?

There are websites which you can go on and get quotes for sending parcels abroad. Only last September I sent a large package much heavier than two strut tops to holland. That cost £20.
It was UPS who took it.

I would love to know the process too about getting strut tops from Kingas. £30 is very fare price I would say.

It would seem Lithuania is slightly 'off scope' for a larger number of parcel companies, hence the increased postage costs. Most of the quotes I've obtained are around £50. KinGas emailed me with a quote of €52, although for them to courier back to UK is IIRC €27 + vat. Still cheaper than buying a new one from Citroen! I must say that KinGas are very efficient at replying to emails. I'll be posting the strut top off in the morning and I will post up pics of the results when it arrives back.

Look forward to it!

Use INTER-PARCEL as its coming up as £18 + VAT (For a parcel of 3kg's 20x20x20 cms) using the UPS/Interparcel Standard Service (UPS is the Brown Icon) I hope you've not already sent it ?

Hi Mark,

Feel free to share your findings with fellow CCC members in the Citroenian!

Anyone fancy taking a holiday to Lithuania and taking a carload of strut tops with them?

Cheers Richard, unfortunately it's already on its way. Still going to be cheaper than buying a new one off Citroen. Hopefully!!
