Buying from states Q

anyone bought stuff like shockies from the states, just thinking about buying some Fox shocks for the buggy while the auz $ is good, is it worth the hassel/wait???

Hey wibble you have U2U.

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.

cool, just researching at the mo, hoping the $ stays strong till I get the money together, either going for fox or similar for around $100US each..:thumb

why ?? what is wrong with our shocks ?

They will work just as well sitting in the shed as any USA stuff :P

hehe that is like 5 banners in a row ... looking like we are taking over :thumb

not much room to work with now that I've put that dodgy exhaust on 😀😀 hence the need for narrow shocks.
oooo 6 in a row!!

Stop padding this thread 🙂 Someone had to break it up!

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.
