CANADIAN CUSTOMER: Due to the Canada Postal Service strike, we recommend choosing DHL Express.
Note: UPS Mail Innovations is delivered by the post office and Canadian deliveries will be affected by the strike.

International Customers

Due to some ongoing challenges with the software we use to generate customs data and print shipping labels for international orders,
orders may take upto 7 days before we are able to generate the shipping label. If the order has USED item or items that need to be shipped from the supplier to us, it can take significantly longer.

Also be aware that even though we ship items with the proper documentation to show that duties and taxes are prepaid, some Postal Services are ignoring this and still charging these fees at delivery. If this occurs to you, please send us a copy of the receipt showing the tracking number with the fees paid and we can get the Duties/Taxes we charged to you refunded.

UK Customers / EU Customers

We are using a new shipping service where international shipments now include the Duties/Tax/Fees, so currently we can not offer USPS/Mail Innovations if the order is over 135GBP/150EUR, since USPS can not pay duties/taxes. If the order is less than 135GBP/150EUR, we can pay the taxes directly to the EU/UK and we can ship USPS/Mail Innovations*. All orders over 135GBP/150EUR have to ship UPS/DHL so we can use DDP to cover the Duties/Tax/Fees. This has allowed us to resume shipments of any value to the UK and EU.

TIP: You will likely be able to ship your order for less cost if you ship any items over 135GBP/150EUR on one order via UPS, then break the rest of the order up into orders of less than 135GBP/150EUR.

By breaking your orders up into less than 135GBP/150EUR:

you will avoid the import duties on those orders
less expensive shipping methods are available
you will avoid some UPS fees

Canadian Customers

We have worked with UPS to waive some of the brokerage fees. The rates shown now include all UPS fees. We have also added DHL, which offers lower cross boarder fees.

Our shipping provider has added Duties Prepaid options for US Postal Service options to Canada. This has allowed us to resume USPS shipments to Canada.

However, beware that this is a new process for the Post Office, so sometimes Canada Post shows the duties and taxes COD, when they are actually prepaid. If this happens, first inform Canada Post that the shipment was sent duties prepaid (DDP). If they still require you to pay the duties before delivery, please contact us.

Turkey Customers

The international shipping software we use requires that we pre-collect and pre-pay the duties and taxes. Because of recent changes to Turkey import laws, Turkey no longer supports this. Because of this you will need to use a shipping broker for us to ship items to you.

US Postal Service (USPS)

Our new international shipping system supports international shipments via USPS only if the order total (including shipping to most countries) is below the Duty/Tax De Minimis for your country (View De Minimis Chart).
Exceptions:
UK orders upto 135GBP
EU orders upto 150EUR

The US Postal Service (USPS) has suspended services to over a dozen countries (see complete list).
UPS Worldwide Services \ DHL Worldwide can still be delivered to these locations.

1968 Mercury Cougar

Description

This deluxe wood-grain two spoke wheel was used on the majority of the Mercury Cougars built for 1968 and many other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars through 1969. The 1968 XR7 would always use the black backed wheel, as the XR7 package had the lower dash and steering column painted black as well. The back portion of the wheel on the 1968 Cougar Decor level interior cars was color coded to the interior of the car. On the Standard models for 68, the first part of the year would have used a wood grained deluxe wheel and the later part of the year was a solid colored wheel. The benefit of going reproduction on this wheel as opposed to restoring your current cracked wheel is that the cost is lower and no core is required. Also, the mylar band has been upgraded to stainless and will not crack, peel or yellow like the original. It has been our experience that restored wheels that have had cracks filled in will in time, when exposed to extreme heat and cold, have hairline cracks reappear. This wheel has been clear coated with four coats of polyurethane for protection and luster. Note that the wood-grain front portion is smooth and not textured like original.

Looks nice

Cons:

shorts out the horn relay

The appearance is nice. I found that when installed the horn circuit was shorted to ground. I removed the wheel and disassembled the horn contact assembly to find the problem. The parts are stamped improperly so that the center hole is able to touch the center splined coupling resulting in a short circuit of 12 volts going directly to ground. By grinding the hole larger I was able to gain enough clearance to remove the problem. Also the lower contact ring is held in place by screws that were too long for the job. In order to use the screws the assembler installed large area washers. To avoid contact between the upper contact assembly and the washers the assembler used three lock washers to elevate the center contact portion so that it was not resting on the washers. I installed proper length screws to fix those problems.
