Ordering parts from US

I've been looking at ordering some parts for my car form the US. A lot of companies wont' send international but there is a company now which sends on your internal US items called Bongo International.

I wanted to buy this rear spoiler http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/basket.php?add_item_id=13358206. But before they wouldn't ship overseas. Still won't but they say to use Bongo Internation http://bongous.com/ here's their shipping charges. http://www.bongous.com/shipping_cost_calculator.php.

About 3 days to ship to brisbane. Anyone out there used this kind of thing before.

Also look at Shipito.com. I have used them a few times and their service is terrific.

 

could also try this. New member just signed up. Have a look at the post by USAtoAUS

I've head 'Buy anything US' or something of the same also do the same thing.

 

Spoilers are usually oversize for freight purposes and so cost heaps to ship. I'd check that out first.

 

If you are not in a hurry or can wait for your stuff we have a shipping service from the West coast of the USA to most Australian ports.

I looked at the link and a 100lb item, which is about 40kgs, will cost you $589 US. We don't go on weight we go on size. So what would it cost to get a front bumper over through Bongus? Well we have made a 300ZX forum members price of $150. If you want a full body kit we'll do it for $300. This is for forum members so contact me through the forum for a quote or more details.

Bongus is excellent if you have something small or light weight. Hell 3 days to Brissie is an excellent service that would be hard to beat but if you have a bumper or suspension then it's real pricey.

Get in touch and I will do what I can to help out members with special prices or any information that helps your decision. We are also looking at doing deals with http://www.andysautosport.com/ too.

Cheers Glen

 

Thanks Hermit! Members contact me through the forum for special prices on body kit and bumper shipping.

great price, but how long's the wait?

 

Once a container is allocated you are looking at 6-8 weeks. The longest you will wait is 12 weeks. I am over quoting incase of strikes etc. So far we have had a turn around of 6-7 weeks.

 

Glen,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not in a hurry as I need to find a second hand rear hatch that will take the spoiler. Not sure how much a fiberglass rear spoiler weighs although i have some idea on it's dimensions. I also need to find some one who can eye ball the part on the web site and tell me if it will fit a 2+2 turbo.
