I've bought stuff from aircooled.com, had it shipped instead of air freight, takes 6-8 weeks and was $72US. Had no probs:thumb
I was not in a hurry and this was a lot cheaper than UPS or any other company by AIR.

not much room to work with now that I've put that dodgy exhaust on 😀😀 hence the need for narrow shocks.

Should have mentioned I have brought in a lot of stuff over the last year from the states relatively hassle free. Freight and duty are the things that can kill you ($ wise). A general guide in my experience is that if the package is under around US$150 (approx) they haven't charged me duty, but when it gets to US$200 they sting you with anything from 5-15% of the item cost plus GST.
It is hard with items that cost US$100 each unless you send them separately so be prepared for some taxes.
