Funnily enough I find dealing with America for motorbike, 4wd and RC parts a much more pleasant and cheaper experience and more often than not they are more knowledgeable too. I used to work in a 4WD shop until it closed so I do feel for the local retailer, but they really need to lift their game in knowledge and service.
I know quite a few people that have bought from down south without any troubles.
