I initially had a few payment problems with the overseas credit card but these guys have some pretty obscure parts very cheap.

I'd suggest using Paypal drawing directly from an bank account rather than their online credit card service. (Although it all worked out in the end :))

I'll pop up some pics of my litle spending spree.

USPS postage too!

Very happy customer.

Maybe:rolleyes:.

Yeah - Why do you figure I ordered 20 of ea? I figured you and Josh would be after a set each. So I ordered some extras to sell to you guys at ridiculously inflated prices:D

Also I'm just a hoarder.

I'd get the stuff shipped straight to them. A bunch of Gaskets and lightweight stuff wouldn't be much of a burden to fit in their suitcase.

Need to get them in training to ship you stuff anyway:D

Nice little find there, but it's a bit difficult to find the MK4 GTI stuff.

Are those door handle gaskets for MK1 only? Been trying to find some for the MK3 but can only find complete units.

Check this out for shipping rates for brake rotors and pads (front and rear).

Shipping sucks the wang here when their pricing is competitive.

It actually makes ECS look good..........

The image is not very clear, is it $770 :eek:
Send them a mail to ask, I think something is not quite right.

GAP quoted "Express mail would be about $245, and Priority mail would
be about $190"

hrmm.
