Who do you use for parts within Australia?

I need a few front end parts for my 59 Beetle

I started with VW heritage which seem to have a great range and prices but then post was quite exxy???

Thanks in advance.

Just Kampers..not to badly priced...had a deal of free delivery if your order was more than $250.00...very fast despatch....

DO NOT...DO NOT......order online from Classic vee dub unless you want to be waiting for ever with no reply to emails..

good to buy from at shows or directly from the shop........

BUT DO NOT order online....bloody hopeless and an embarrassment to the vw resto industry...Rant over...

Just Kampers , Vollks, Mick motors or Vintage , you don't need any others :)

What he said about Classic though!

So the story continues......
After waiting 2 weeks but still nothing from you know who.....
I spoke to him at the Day of the Volkswagen....he likes to come down to Melbourne from Sydney and sell his stuff...
Where's my order I say....He responds, just waiting for 1 part.....Hmm, I say just send what you got, OK and ill ring you Tuesday.....did not happen.
I rang Thursday, How many times you ask....At least 150 times....yes one hundred and fifty.......no answer...
So Friday I ring anther 50 times, and guess what....no answer.....stuff this I'll email him and cancel the order...well to my surprise he responds to my email
and says the last part just arrived and I will cancel your order.......
So I then order online with Just Kampers about 11.30am and by 3.30pm the order is despatched.....unreal...I love a happy ending...........

Moral of the story.........Do not ever do business with this person ever, ever again....I slap my self.....

I will say that Just Kampers have been quick for me. The descriptions on their easy to use website are pretty acurrate for the parts I bought. When it says Original Equipment quality, I have found the part to be pretty good. When it says Replacement part, you should always read that as a lesser than original quality.
