Default Wires, please help

I have problem with plug wires in my ‘88 vette.
There in Poland it is impossible to buy another plug wires than delco. Delco wires are low quality and do not work well (I have delco wires now and they misfires badly)
I thinking about buying MSD wires for L98 engine. It is possible that someone could help me buy that wires in USA and send them to me to Poland?
Method:
When will be know price for wire set and cost shipping them to Poland I send money via Western Union before someone send me wires.
If someone can help please let me know.
Summit part number is
MSD-31459 that is MSD 8.5 mm super conductor wire set for corvette L98 with stock HEI.
they costs $ 62.95 if shipping cost $10 when $72.95
Say shipping by US Postal will be $20 I will send someone $92.95 by Western Union first.
I have no credit card and Western Union do not sending money to company.


Thanks a lot
Jerry Tretko, Poland

Jerry,
I received your e-mail. Here is my reply:

I will contact Summitt and determine the shipping costs. I will then go to the Post Office and figure out shipping costs to you in Poland. You must give me the entire address and telephone number. I will be required to fill out Customs Forms. I will send it as a gift, therefore you will not be required to pay duties.

Regards,
~ Stan Morton (Purp)

Thanks Sam. I might need some advice. I will try to get ecerything arranged, then contact the USPS and see what type of forms I will need to submit. It shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as I am just sending my friend Jerry in Poland a late Birthday gift.. :lol:

Let me know if customs is an issue. My work ships internationally all the time so I can just ship it from work and let our shipping department deal with the hassle. If you or Purp need help, let me know.
