yes that was me
I bought on e-bay a pair of empi mud flaps
but received only one. This is going back nearly 3 months ago. they said it was empi's problam/fault and I had to wait until empi sent them
another single flap. Anyway they said they now have it and have shipped it so I'm still waiting. I think it should be o-kay and I'll
eventually get it. But hey what can I do??? They do return e-mails quickly though.

I bought a pair of bus empi side steps and although had to wait ages to get them, had no troubles outherwise. My mate bought a roller pedal and
something else small and received it no worries within a couple of weeks. They were prompt to return emails.

Grey57, take note the mention of ebay
A single mud flap instead of a pair!! I'd be very 
Catseyes instead of eyebrows again!
Definitely the overseas prices seem attractive. How have you found the postage costs?
Well I'll continue gradually getting what I want for Bel here until I find myself ready to go with her and need something I can't find or
that I can afford etc, etc. |

Thanks Jen, noted.
I got some German Eyebrows from ISP West vai ebay. Smooth transaction. Emailed an invioce before shipping not a problem.
Was still a tense moment before I opened the box wondering if I would get the right bits, but it all worked out fine.

Doesn't ebay have its own insurance for this sort of thing ?
If it does then your actually better off by buying off a supplier through ebay :o

Parts from the US- cheap !!! comments
The prices revolks quote for freight are VERY CHEAP ... probably USA$ but still very inexpensive.... Does anyone insure their parts purchases from
the USA???
That may make it expensive....
I bought a Pair of Genuine VW NOS made in Venuzuela in 1968 Mudflaps for $60 a few years ago... (NO Brackets) Was that expensive?? I have seen them
advertised over $100AUs in Aussie VW mags a few years ago..
The fellow on ebay replies very promptly with emails ... seems OK... EMPI dealer..

after everything!
Lee,
word of warning they are the people that got 2 out of 4 parts wrong to me when they shipped.. :cussing
so i'm guessing if you keep the order simple.. it should be fine and yes they are cheap.. but don't bulk order.. they get confused i think.
good luck!:thumb
