ordering from usa

[craigh]

has anyone ordered parts and had them shipped over from america?
if so can you advise me on how you went about it please im going to order some parts from summit racing hopefully

You'll have no problem getting parts from the States. Phone your order...I think Summit are open 24hrs..tell em what you want ,pay by card and have it airmailed. Postman comes knocking on your door...he'll ask you for money...the dreaded tax..or you'll get a bill in the post. There's bargains to be had from over the pond.....I've bought everything from tee-shirts to complete engines, never had a problem yet. Postage takes anything from 3 days to one week depending.

Order via Phone or Website. Pay by Credit Card . Sit back and wait for the postman to come knickin' on your door!! :thumb:

Its a lot easier than dealing with Europa!!

Make sure you are insured because last month my shipment from Summit-Racing and Latemodelrestoration was stolen at the storage of my shipper (Rotterdam)....
Luckly I was insured...still waiting for my money but I don't have to think about it when I didn't insured it for total loss --autch--

So, if somebody found 2 tremecs, bellhouses, clutches, radiator....other typical cobra stuff in a wooden crate..please let me know...

does paying by credit card offer any kind of insurance?
thanks for the tips so far,sounds fairly straight forward

The only drawback is when the UPS or whoever guy knocks on the door and demands TAX payment.

I use summit all the time, order by phone as options for sending can be discussed and you can see if any parts are out of stock. Never had a problem, other than the bloody postman asking for money.

www.cobraaccessories.com are a good site. I ordered some Quick Lift Jack Pads last year. Just go to their web site and order over the net.

Hey Guys just out of interest, price up your desired parts from the USA, say from Summit or whoever and then give Chris a ring at WASP Wisbech American Street & Performance and see how he compares on price. Tel 01945 588091

I get all my requirements from him, although he is only 5 miles from me so there is no UK postage in addition, but I would be interested how he compares.
