I noticed people wondering about high shipping cost to Australia.The guy at the following email address, trevorparnhamntl@aol.com just shipped for me 2.5 kg parcel for less than £12.00 to Hong Kong(nice, brand new XM suspension pump) and he does Australia and the whole FarEast as well at more than reasonable prices. He is a mail consolidator or forwarder or something else I don't know, but does the job and that's what counts. Same parcel by Royal Mail £ 33.00 and the rest of them like DHL or UPS much more than that.
His ph. numbers are 01934 861259 or 07969913835.
and his name's Trevor
Good Luck,
Chris

I checked the Royal mail site, and they reckon a 2 kg parcel from UK to Oz for about 25 quid, and a 2 kg letter for 33 quid....

Prehaps we could keep Kiwi and shane and UFO supplied with surplus spares after all... for not a silly price..

Thanks Guys,

Unfortunatly we rarely buy from the UK due to the cost of postage . The cheapest part I have ever got from UK is handbrake pads from ebay. Would you believe they opened the box, layed them flat in an envelope and posted them as a letter for less than 2quid

I had Smiffy send me a box of computer bits from a CX he was wrecking... From memory it was a staggering 70quid

The UK converison rate to other currencies generally make just about any "new" part incredibly expensive too .

With the interior bits, you'd be stunned how quickly the weight will increase (plus I feel bad asking someone to spend a lot of time stripping the interier out, which I imagine would be very time consuming). For the cost of postage I could probably have a trimmer put new leather into the seats locally for less than the postage price ?

seeya,
Shane L.
