Ring Master Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Rich J are you there? HELP ! I have got my reply from Whiteline on their kits and I cannot understand how you paid £800 ! The full works kit is AUD$1,775 Add AUD$500 for air freight makes AUD $2,275 exchange rate say 2.60= £875 vat, duty , uk carriage x1.25 = £1,093.75 Now, thats is what I would expect it would cost to bring in the "full works" kit (springs, shocks,heavy duty bars,bushes). From my initial working, I could only knock off 10% from that figure if I sold to the public. Where am I going wrong ? Did you fly yours in ? Did they "fudge" the cost to save you VAT and duty ? tut tut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinL Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Hi... I'm pretty sure Rich didn't get clobbered by customs. I got a quote for the springs and shocks only kit (AU$1,199.09) and the shipping charges by post are quite a bit cheaper : "via post for AU$210 or via courier direct to your door for AU$342" regards..............

Rich J Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Credit card was 743.40 (2053.80 AUS$ exchange was 0.36196/£ ) I think I only paid about 100 quid to the tax man which I thought strange at the time but I wasn't complaining. Looks like prices have gone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinL Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 Anymore news on this yet Justin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Master Posted November 17, 2001 Author Share Posted November 17, 2001 Yes, they have knocked the total shipping down from AUD$2000 to AUD$1300. Im going to do some calculations in the next couple of days and give you a final price on bringing the kits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinL Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Hi... There's a couple of us that were just after the spring and shock kits if you can accomodate that. regards............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Master Posted November 17, 2001 Author Share Posted November 17, 2001 I need to order the equivalent of 5 full kits to get a decent discount, so as long as we generate enough interest it is fine to buy single parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm going to wait until the beginning of next month, if there is no interest for five + kits we could do something together and save a bit on shipping. regards.....
