I call on the fountain of knowledge within OOF . 
After much consideration I'm looking for a particular set of wheels to my classic BMW .
They are very rare and expensive in UK/Ireland but are more affordable ,available and with a choice of condition ,size and offset in Germany.
So far the sellers cant or wont offer the shipping to UK/Ireland ( which I can understand ) although other sellers of different wheels do , and at a very reasonable sum which can be as low as €70 to € 100.
I have brought large parts inc. wheels and tyres from UK to Ireland many times but the quotes given to me by the companies I have used to do the same from Germany are too expensive to make the purchase viable.
I'd like to be able to arrange the collection of wheels only from within Germany to be shipped to Ireland arranged for and by myself.
Speed of delivery isn't an issue so surface shipment is quite acceptable .
Can anyone who has done this , or indeed any member within or bordering Germany help me with any contacts or companies that would undertake this service ?

Fedex, UPS, or similar should handle that type of shipment I would have thought.

Irmscher used DHL for my wheels IIRC, was about €70 for the shipping on top of the Egay price. DPD seem to be pretty reliable from Germany too. 

Would recommended UPS, I use them for items that I have sent out

Fedex and UPS cost an arm and a leg for long distances and heavy cargo.. Last time I bought from OOF members I used royal mail which arrived here without problems.. but from Germany, I dont know..
