jazz1 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 i was going to purchase some products from us for my car, after trying to pay for them through western union the total cost came to 680 but down here i can get the same products for 690. Also considering when the items arrive i will have to pay some tax:search: so either way you cant win when purchasing supra products as they are always expensive:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Simple anser to that is use a company that lets you can pay by credit card and has reasonable prices. I wouldn't touch Western Union with a bargepole. At worst use a direct bank transfer from your bank which will cost £9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Bits are usually cheaper from the states if you order in bulk....ordering 1 bonnet is about the most expensive thing you can do cause it's size that costs when shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah Western Union are jokers. I was gonna buy a fuel kit from the US but he'd only take WU which hiked the price up more than i could get it for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 MVP are the guys to use, miles cheaper than anyone on this board, and their customer service is a quantum leap over the UK traders (sorry guys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 If you have internet banking it is normally free Most UK banks do not allow international bank tansfers online, only domestic. You need to go down to your local branch to do this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 and pay the £20 charge Indeed. Although there is the cheaper 'relay' transfer option, I believe it costs around £9-10 pounds.... Either way you look at it a bank transfer will be the cheapest option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 thank you guys il go to my branch and i have mvp`s bank details:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 What tranfers, Unions and bollox... If a company thousands of miles away does not accept credit cards, why would you want to do business with them? If they cannot convince the CC companies that they are manageable risks, I'd look elswhere. MVP is not a bad choice, bought from them myself.

paul mac Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 If a company thousands of miles away does not accept credit cards, why would you want to do business with them? because my good man they are quite litterally hundreds and hundreds of £'s cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 MVP are indeed great. I bought my RS*R GT2 and just recently my 18" Volk GT-AVs. Paid a bit with PayPal and loads on credit card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 because my good man they are quite litterally hundreds and hundreds of £'s cheaper So what are you gonna do if they take your money and run? Fly to the states, buy a gun and shoot them? At least with a credit card you can make a fuss and claim the money back if they play silly boogers. I've never had problems paying with CCs in the States and things tend to arrive more promptly compared to UK-based traders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
