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.
