This has to be a record. I ordered some gear from Ashcrofts on Tuesday 16th and it arrived today!

Can't ask for better service than that.

Sorry...just had to get that off my chest.

Yep - I got a 300tdi head from Turners (England) via DHL in 3 days.

Turners told me that they sent a complete engine to Perth at economy freight rates but that took a week.

I can beat that, I ordered some Starrett tools online with Amazon on a Wednesday night (8pm) and had them turn up at 11am Friday :eek: What was funny was there were 4 seperate tools all ordered in one order and payed for in one check out, yet the DHL guy turned up 2 seperate times with 3 seperate boxs, all on the friday!!! haha

Well I just checked my Consignment number on Universal Package Tracking Service @ Packagetrackr (http://www.packagetrackr.com/) and my new Gearbox is getting a jolly good round the world holiday :mad:

Its destination is St.Peters Sydney , it got checked in at St.Peters Missouri USA and put back on a flight to Belgium, now with a tracking exception on it :censored:

Hope its all boxed up nice and secure. :cry:

I ordered a heap of bits from Ashcrofts in 4 separate orders to avoid the customs charge, each time they were here within 5 days. Then I ordered some seals and bearing stuff from Paddocks so I could get the new diff in and it took 2 weeks to get out of their warehouse. Not quite so happy that time!

Just got a full set of Superpro bushes for my POS and two sets of F&R Mintex pads from Paddocks..........

Probably saved $300 and they were here in a week.

No one in Oz could supply the actual bushes I needed so I just bought the whole set from someone on the other side of the world from where they're made haha (?).

I've spent probably $3k with them over the last 2 years, but the last order the postage was ridiculous, and they failed to send one of my orders. I have emailed tom about this but with no reply to what's happening, I'm hoping it turns up at their cost

A little bit different but I ordered parts from Roverlord at four PM one day and had them in my mail box next morning at ten am.
