UPS Main Base is Kentucky USA, so the distribution centre there hopefully will dispatch them onto the next Aussie bound freighter aircraft.....then from the airport to you. (At least thats how its supposed to work). Hopefully this helps you understand how they went via Kentucky.

My latest order went from GB > Denmark > Dubai > Thailand > Singapore > Melbourne. Quite the trip.

Package was meant to be here Friday, left Ascot Vale 8am but never arrived! So not happy that I have to wait till Monday. A weekend wasted :evil:

The paperwork is on bound for Brisbane, when it gets here and customs say all is well your wheels will be on the next flight.
Cheers Pete

Brett if you have any troubles with UPS let me know. They work on preclearance of goods so customs clearance should occur as soon as the goods hit the tarmac.

They may be subjected to quarantine depending on what the supplier puts on the invoice (some idiot suppliers write tyres instead of wheels etc).

I was the head of Customs Redlines/Quarantine Clearance at UPS Mascot so if they get held up and you cant get an answer out of them let me know and I'll ring an old friend (in the non mafia sense lol)

Good Luck!!
