I am looking to buy a 6v optima battery online and get it shipped to Asia by air/courier. Anyone did that before? i am worry it will be held up due to IATA regulation, though i see some sellers in ebay do show shipping cost to Asia.
My last option will be to buy from WW regular 6v battery, to be shipped dry. I would perfer optima 6v if given an option. |

you have to check with the shipping company which UN code applies to the specific type of battery you are going to ship. IIRC IATA restrictions are quite severe on lithium batteries, I can't remember how they are on wet cells but any shipper should be able to get you a quote based on the item description. _________________ cars:

Buy it on ebay. If it doesn't make it make a claim. The shipper should let you know if they can't ship it. _________________ www.vwnos.com [email protected]
