Hi

I am planing to import floor pan from ww, it cost 300$ in shipping for 2 pans, would cost 255$ Each person for 4 pans, if anybody in the Melbourne area is interested in having a combined order from ww to save on shipping cost let me know, I am planing the order next week

Cheers

David

Hey David,

Just curious how it compares price wise with the Wolfsburg West floor pan halves we sell?

http://dasrestoparts.com.au/repair-panels-and-sheet-metal/beetle-repair-panel... (just one example of the models we sell)

If we are not competitive on price I'd be keen to know how far off we are if that is okay?

Cheers

You won't get hurt using Das Resto Parts, can't praise the guys enough!

I got mine from them as we'll earlier in the year. Beautiful pans! Very happy with service and quality.

I think that the local guys probably don't advertise their prices on line enough forcing most of us to look overseas. After all the majority of purchasing is done by the net these days and I think the local guys tend to have poor websites.(JK excepted)

If we could get cheaper shipping from overseas suppliers via an Australian agent I would be happy to do so. I know I have a lot to buy and would do so if I could get bulk items from WW via sea and not air so I wouldn't have to buy in small bits and pieces and pay exorbitant courier costs.

OK. I had a new look at DRH website and it is better than before and has a lot more in stock. But. Better not to have a category on the menu if it is completely empty.

Agree with you guys, trying so hard to buy in oz but I went to 3 different supplier in Melbourne that had them in stock
All of them will say it's the best panel you can get in Australia and they were all not that good, prices going 50 to 100$ difference for the same crap too !

Hi guys, thanks for considering us (DAS Resto Parts). waltermitty, apologies if we have missed a return call. Steve (my business partner) is running DRP full time now so we are improving our processes day by day including continuing to work on the website backend (and front end with images/updated categories etc). PM me if you like so either myself or Steve can get back to you although I acknowledge it may be too late, if so, sorry once again.

Unfortunately we do not have the financial backing of a large company behind the scenes like JK does. We reinvest whatever we make back into expanding our stock and balance the leftovers between graphic design/advertising/IT assistance etc. Its not always easy, as to stay competitive the margins have to be quite skinny which means it takes a longer to advance things like the website which chews up a lot of money. Anyway, I won't ramble on any longer other than to say we'll continue to keep the quality of parts and service as our highest priority. We are still human though, so we appreciate letting us know if the ball is ever dropped.

Cheers
Al
