HI guys, I bought a car's worth of spax conversion from him and he shipped
it to me (not on an airplane) and I didn't get charged a dime for import
tarifs etc. I have found that airlines love to screw you whenever you try
to put anything on a plane that is not a suitcase so if he hadn't done the
airline thing before he probably didn't know. He is a good guy so I think
if he knew he would have said something. Just my $.015
