They can be a bit slow at times (answering) but have always delivered quickly, looking at around 50 US for delivery, but a lot more if you need a muffler as well.

Cheers,

Still they are a lot cheaper then anyone else. I thing they work on the view a quick sale is a good sale and price them that way. Hard for anyone in Aus to match that.

I sent about 10 emails over 3-4 weeks, mostly without response and eventually resorted to PayPal dispute resolution centre and after that I got an immediate reply. It's still much cheaper buying direct from the USA, but go with the request for freight costs first idea that works well.

Post by: vmxrider on September 10, 2009, 03:59:43 pm: I've just placed an order for a DG pipe with DOS. $150us + $76us postage works out at $270aud. Sent an email first requesting total amount, quick reply with link to pay thru paypal. Hopefully delivery will be just as efficient...

Post by: DIRTPILOT72 on September 10, 2009, 09:27:07 pm: I asked them for shipping costs a few weeks ago so i had an idea what the postage would be. I like buying from the states as they wreck heaps of bikes over there and it its so easy with paypal. Never had a problem till now, but thats been sorted now by the looks.
