    Luton (England) to my house in 3 days!!!

    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.

    Well I just checked my Consignment number on Universal Package Tracking Service @ Packagetrackr and my new Gearbox is getting a jolly good round the world holiday

    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

    Hope its all boxed up nice and secure.

    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 (?).

    'Funny' world, DL

    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
