Postage WTF!?
Banter goes here, and doesn't have to be Lude related
Postage WTF!?
Post by JayJay » Wed Feb 22, 2012 11:50 am
I need a new rear ARB and I spotted one on the Energy Suspension Parts website (US based supplier)
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/pr ... prod=BHR43
The postage from there is £53, that's £53 USA to the IOM.
The postage from the UK mainland is £60 to the IOM.
How the f*ck can they get away with charging this? Needless to say I'm not ordering from a UK based supplier!

The delivery drivers are scared of that three legged thing you keep as a pet.

I was more thinking of a flag joke, but yeah. If you go chasing all the delivery drivers with your willy out I can see how the cost would go up ...

On a serious note, have you tried ordering from a dealer like Hond-R or H-tune? Seems alot, appreciate it's a long item but not £60 surely?

if you order from US will you have to pay import duty?
have you had a look at how much it would cost to get dhl or parcel force to collect it, another cheap alt is my hermes. all these online booking collections will collect from anywhere in uk to deliver anywhere in uk.

Got any mates in Liverpool or wherever the ferry from the IOM pitches up? Might work out cheaper to just hop across as a walking passenger and collect it.

Cheers.
