International Shipping

 

We ship Austin J40 pedal cars and parts worldwide.

 

Due to the size, value, and specialist nature of full pedal cars, international shipping arrangements differ significantly from parts shipments. Please refer to the relevant section below for detailed information.

International Shipment of Full Pedal Cars



The international shipment of a complete Austin J40 pedal car is a specialist process and is handled on a case-by-case basis.

 

Each car is individually assessed to determine the most suitable method of packing and transport, taking into account destination, value, and transit duration.

 

 

Preparation & Packing

 

 

Before shipment, each pedal car is:

 

  • Carefully prepared and partially disassembled where required
  • Wrapped and protected using layered padding and structural support
  • Crated or palletised depending on destination and carrier requirements

 

 

This process ensures the car is fully protected during long-distance transit, including sea freight where applicable.

 

 

Shipping Methods & Timescales

 

 

Full pedal cars are typically shipped via:

 

  • International freight services
  • Palletised road freight (Europe)
  • Sea freight for long-distance destinations

 

 

Due to the nature of international freight, delivery times can range from several weeks to several months, depending on destination, carrier schedules, and customs clearance.

 

 

Costs & Quotations

 

 

Shipping costs for full cars are not calculated at checkout.

 

A bespoke shipping quotation will be provided following:

 

  • Confirmation of destination
  • Final specification of the car
  • Packing and crating requirements

 

 

Customers are encouraged to contact us prior to purchase to discuss shipping options in detail.

 

 

Customs, Duties & Import Taxes

 

 

International shipments of full pedal cars may be subject to:

 

  • Import duties
  • Local taxes
  • Customs inspection and clearance fees

 

 

These charges are the responsibility of the buyer and are not included in the purchase price or shipping quotation unless explicitly stated.

International Shipping of Parts

 

 

We also ship Austin J40 parts and accessories worldwide, with a faster and more straightforward process than full vehicle shipments.

 

 

Shipping Costs

 

 

Parts shipping costs are:

 

  • Calculated automatically at checkout where possible
  • Based on weight, size, and destination

 

 

For larger or unusually shaped items, we may contact you to confirm the most appropriate shipping method.

 

 

Estimated Delivery Times

 

 

Typical delivery times for parts shipments are:

 

  • UK: 1–3 business days
  • Europe: 5–10 business days
  • USA & Canada: 7–14 business days
  • Rest of World: 10–20 business days

 

 

These are estimates, from the date of shipment, and may vary due to customs processing.

 

 

Customs & Duties

 

 

International parts orders may be subject to import duties or taxes imposed by your local authorities. These charges are the responsibility of the buyer.

 

All parcels are shipped with accurate customs documentation to minimise delays.

 

 

Tracking

 

 

Most parts shipments are sent using tracked services. Tracking details will be provided once your order has been dispatched.
