Thread: Price query

our parts are far superior in strength

are they the same brand or different ?

you are also forgetting import duty, customs agents fees plus GST that has to be paid on top of everything, insurance, someplace to store said bits and all the other associated overheads with running a business so you add the appropriate margin to cover all this. Also remember that volume counts towards the price of things, eg Paddocks with a huge Land Rover market (UK) and massive volume can get away with a correspondingly smaller margin and make money.

You will get charged import duty on anything over a grand,not sure the % but they dont miss you,and there is no easy way around it.
Well there is,you get them to split the order so its under a grand and send to others with a different name/addy.
Look into it if its not too late.
YOU CAN SEND PARTS TO ME AS LONG AS ITS DISCO2 OR RANGIE FITMENT

2x 2"lowered turret rings(yellow)
4x dislocation cones
2x rear shock droppers
full Deflex Orange bush kit

Why such a $$ difference I know we have to make a profit but 200%
I invite the sponsor to answer please

Orange? Polyurethane?

Sorry Andrew I just re read my post....The whole lot only cost me $458 plus the $150 freight..

A Tag Heuer and a Swatch both tell the time......but are not the same.

You will regret putting poly bushes in, they chew out quicker than rubber and give a harsh ride. You will pay gst and duty on anything that is over $1000 so if its 400 quid it will incur duty/ gst, general duty rate is 5% and up depending on origin of goods and what the actual product is, if i was at work i could tell you ( customs broker for freight forwarder).

How many ways can you make a shock turret that looks the same in a picture, I understand your comment if a diff or gearbox etc but not the Items I have purchased.... were just being ripped
