Michael,
You can send him a cheque in dollars which will cost him about US$ 8 to cash
(£5 UK).
The shipping sounds expensive. From the UK for 1.5KG via parcelforce slow
surface (28 days) the cost is £14.50 If you want to get the parcel a bit
quicker (5 days) it works out at £17.60.
Why don't you buy these filters in the USA?
I am advised that there is no US customs duty/tax on s/h part from the UK.
Don't worry about Trust - Cambridge is near enough to me if you want to send
'the boys round'.

<< Hey.
I've arranged to purchase a set of K&N filter's for my carbs from a private
gentleman (as in, not a business) in the UK (Cambs).
Neither of us have been involved in international purchases, and don't know
how it works.
I was going to wire him cash, but my Chase fee was prohibitive. Can I send
a check in US dollars? Will he be charged fees for cashing a US Check? His
bank is Lloyds. Should I just mail him the required amount in cash? I have
an FX exchange desk at work that doesn't charge a fee. I'm not worried
about trust.
How about shipping? Will US customs charge me a tax? The shipping company
(not sure which) wants 18 pounds for shipping a 1.14Kg package. Is that
expensive? (I know that's about $29)
Thanks all.
