International Shipping

We arrange worldwide shipping for Austin J40 pedal cars, replacement parts and accessories.

From individual components to complete pedal cars, each shipment is handled with care and consideration for its destination, size and value.

Please see the information below for details of our international delivery services.

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

Each Austin J40 is carefully prepared for transport, with protective packing, suitable support and crating or palletisation where required.

Our aim is to minimise the risk of damage during handling and long-distance transportation, including international road and sea freight.

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.

Estimated shipping times will be discussed individually when preparing a quotation. Timescales are dependent on destination, transport arrangements and customs clearance, and any agreed delivery arrangements will be confirmed before purchase.

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 may be subject to import duties, local taxes, customs clearance charges and other fees imposed by the destination country.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these charges are not included in our quoted shipping costs and are the responsibility of the recipient.

Any applicable arrangements for customs clearance, duties and taxes will be confirmed as part of the international shipping quotation.

We recommend that customers familiarise themselves with the import requirements of their destination country before purchasing.

International Shipping of Parts

We supply Austin J40 replacement parts and accessories to customers throughout the UK and internationally.

Most parts can be shipped through established parcel and courier services, providing a straightforward delivery process for collectors and restorers worldwide.

Larger or unusually shaped components may require alternative shipping arrangements, which will be discussed with customers where necessary.

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

Delivery times are estimates from the date of dispatch, not the date of purchase.

Some products may require additional preparation or manufacturing time before dispatch. International deliveries may also be affected by customs clearance, local delivery conditions and carrier schedules.

Where a specific delivery date or timeframe has been agreed, the applicable arrangements will be confirmed with the customer.

Customs & Duties

International parts orders may be subject to import duties, local taxes and customs processing charges.

Unless otherwise stated at checkout or agreed before purchase, any destination-country import charges are the responsibility of the recipient.

We prepare the relevant customs documentation for international shipments to support the clearance process.

Tracking

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

If you are unsure which shipping option applies to your order, or wish to discuss international delivery before purchasing, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
