Hi guys.

I'm in a hurry for ordering gaskets and bearings for my 3.0L Turbo, so i figured i should order this somewere in EU for faster shipment etc. (sweden is too expensive...)

Sadly the shipment takes a while from *US and soon it's christmas time you now...

SO I NEED LINKS TO COMPANYS WITH GOOD PRICES.

I'm sure some of you can help me out!?

Thanks
Jocke

I ordered some spares there, they came pretty fast and the prices seem competitive...

Hi

I usually order from PP and when time is important have them sent by UPS, then I have the parts inn one week,
It does cost a bit more to ship that way but it always takes longer from European companies.

Just out of interest, as I've not yet ordered anything from PP but was planning on doing so, for expensive items such as P&C's, do you have to pay an import duty?

yes - lots

in the netherlands , it seems to slip by customs if i keep it below 300 bucks, and if it's more , it's not that high,
20 euro's on a 480 $ delivery, at that price , the exchange rate still covers it ..

There must be a way around import duties. What if Wayne or an employee of PP were willing to say the parts were gifts or won in a competition? Anything to beat the man!

it's the people doing the shipping that have the agreements with customs
and they look at the shipping note to determine if it has to go through customs or not

the only way around that would be fake shipping documents, and i guess it would be best for Wayne's sake if he didn't go that way , that
F308 would be gone faster than you can say "customs people at the door to repo the 308"
