I then emailed UK and rec'd quotes and shipping prices from them overnight..Had a e-mail chuckle with the salesman at the uk end when I mentioned my enquiry to the Botany seller. By the way,have yet to hear back from Rovacraft Botany.Will be buying from UK direct I suppose in the new year…...
I'm the same, given up on Australian suppliers.I use LRseries good easy site to use.I have had parts from them quicker than the likes of Sydney.There communication is excellent.
Cheers
I'm still doing a comparison on my thread here: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-...australia.html, because I got some sealant from the UK in two weeks, while the Wurth Australia order still hasn't arrived. Amazing.
And so the beat goes on.
I just had delivered today a Mr Funnel F15C from a motorbike dealer in the USA for A$106 landed with delivery from 4/1/2014 to today.
If you look on Ebay the Australian seller wants $308.99 with FREE delivery.!
