Genuine Spare Parts - US supplier

[~Rich~]

Hi All,
My brother has put me onto this US Landrover parts supplier, they ship world wide and he is more than happy with the service and savings.

No engine parts for any of the engines apart from the V8 but just about everything else.

Happy Shopping
Rich

Have used them a number of times - excellent service and prices.

To ship a water pump (RR Classic) was quoted as $59 last week. Reasonable.

Choice in order of price: OEM, "ATX" (brand) and "aftermarket", with the ATX visibly the best build, and has a 2 year warranty.

What's this "ATX" ... please explain.

The fact that freight from the US is cheap , and they don't
charge sales tax , is very helpful . The UK/EU countries are
high freight and usually charge GST ( even though they
probably claim exemption , but pocket it themselves ).
Just received tractor rear wheel spacers from SF . Two
BIG pieces of steel , yet only $34 air freight ! Would be
$107 to return them.

I've used BPUtah aswell and they were pretty good. Maybe a bit slow delivery but good prices and easy to deal with.

Neil, are you really saying that some UK/EU based LR suppliers are pocketing the VAT/GST they are charging on export orders to non eu residents that don't need to pay it?

In the last 4 years I have probably had 70 orders of parts come in from numerous overseas suppliers, and not one of them has charged me any VAT/TAX at the supply end.

Has this actually happened to you?

I have had a number of items sent from UK & have never been charged VAT. If companies have mistakenly added VAT they will remove when asked.

Has this actually happened to you? .................................... Four times this year !

and ..........They usually pocket it at the end as " upped freight " The last lot were for wiper blades.

I've never been charged VAT on any of the goods that I've bought from the UK - it's a simple matter to contact the Customs dept in the country of origin and they will quickly get you a refund and jump on the company concerned - they (UK Customs) take a very dim view of VAT defrauding practices.

I just recently imported from USA a Ford Explorer V6 Timing Kit valued at $200 AD package was about 30cmx30cm by 15cm and weighed 4kilos and cost me $113 for the second to last cheapest delivery, if I wanted in 2 days it would have cost almost double that price.
I don't see anywhere that delivery/postage costs are cheap, when I am looking to buy overseas I automatically halve the cost of the product and add that as total cost and most times it works out as cheap to buy here, Regards Frank.
