I'm looking at buying some replacement sheet metal parts off them, just wondered if anyone has used them before, quality, service etc, or if anyone has any more recommendations.

They sell the rear corners which is what I've been after

Cheers in advance peeps

I have dealt with them several times, was always a good experience had the stuff here in Oz in 48 hrs

Great to deal with. Very quick to deliver and easy to navigate the website.

The only criticism I have is they can be expensive on shipping but all in all, great range and prices.

awsome cheers guys

Two new rear panels coming my way then!

Happy days

Yup, expensive on shipping I found, but they're a large company so if you have any problems they're not going to niggle over replacements/compensation

Good customer service too I found.

the shipping is expensive, because you live a LONG way away........ CIP are sweet to deal with.
It cost alot to send stuff to OZ from here..

I agree, great to deal with. For some reason the duty i paid when i got stuff mailed was cheaper or non existant if it was under $200 i think, anyway it was cheaper if i broke orders up into smaller lots.

unfortunately most companies ship with fedex or ups. great for shipping within the states but to oz at this end they charge big $ for handling and duty. if possible get it shipped by the US postal service and keep the value low, cheap and no duty.

I don't mind paying the shipping prices, like you say it's coming from miles away! so I wouldn't expect any less.

Prices are comparable really, it was more to do with the quality of the sheet metal, decent etc.

Might be able to get the rear corners from thebusstop.com yet anyways

To anybody who wants to know, I just ordered a swag of parts last thursday and they arrived today. 4 days to my door... you cant beat that even if I did pay for it. There service is worth the money!

Yep bought my bra off them. Was here in 48 hours too.

Good to know as i was thinking of ordering some springs/shocks from them. They seem quite cheap (especially with the Oz dollar so high at the moment), but that'll be diminished once freight and duties are paid.

Is there anyway to gauge what the import duties are likely to be before ordering?

Just did a mock order on CIP1 and noticed that you only seem to have the option of choosing air freight. I thought you'd also be able to go be sea and save some $$$ ???

That is the only problem with CIP1. Their prices are great and their service is good, but they only ship via DHL, UPS or FedEx so their shipping costs are very high. I have asked them specifically to use other methods of airfreight eg USPS which are much cheaper but they refuse claiming that too much stuff goes missing.

As far as import duty goes I have never been charged duty on any import. Having said that all the shipments I have had have been less than $300. I suppose the amount of duty they get on this isn't worth the admin costs of collecting it.

if u ship by seas it would take more than a month!

That's ok i'm in no real hurry
