Freight is definately on the expensive side-worth buying a couple of things to cut costs.Communication was excellent.They accepy p-pal from memory.I want to get into that warehouse-after dark with a big shopping trolley and a balaclava!

The shipping may not be the cheapest but it is the fastest and the cheaper than Suzuki Australia inventory kinda claws back a little once you spend a few bucks..about 7 days and you'll have the item in your hot little mitts. I've dealt with them on a few occassions and the service has always been excellent..shame I can't say the same about some of the local dealers  :-[ a piston kit and a few gudgeons, bearings and clips cost me $30US postage but as I said..I had it within the week and the cost negligable when you consider the amount of miles traveled   ;) ya pay $10 for a 3kg post bag just to go across the other side of town  :-\

I've never had any problems with Alpha Sports. None.
A few times they ship like lightning and once it took oh, a bit over 2 weeks.
But in every case, fair pricing on shipping, good price/availability for the parts.
As Chris points out, local dealers aren't always ah.. competitive in their pricing!
