I looked in the UK and KU did indeed supply the items but were a good bit more expensive, anti roll bar KU=£227 ELEVATE = $259 or £161 so saved £66 adj rear camber KU=£172.17 ELEVATE = $209 or £130.55 so saved £41.62 total save of £107.62 after a bit of waiting for info managed to get FEDEX delivery for $82 or £51.22 so still saved £56.40 seems crazy to me that i can get the items delivered from the states for less than it would cost to buy them in the UK! I dont know if KU would have given free delivery but that may be something that i have saved on as well. I know that plenty of people will pop up now saying that the stuff from the states is cheap and nasty and the uk stuff will last longer etc etc but the fact that elevate supply there stuff to several UK companies kinda made me think twice about how UK the stuff they are supplying actually is! i will let you know how the stuff fits etc but at this stage i would have to recommend ELEVATE as a very helpful and efficient supplier. Also the shipping iss not that bad from the states. Mr sonyviao, if you want to save some money on shipping you should try for bulk buys let people know where you are buying from and whats available, maybe get free shipping if a few of us club together and buy a whole bunch of stuff, i will prob be in !!

HEE HEE I have gone for the 18's they come with Falkens but i can get p1's from a mate for a good price so will just run the falkens down and then change them out. it was actually cheeper for me to get the falkens and then replace them than it was to get p1s or something else from the start.

Thanks for your informed reply. The prices on my website include UK VAT and overnight mainland delivery by TNT. It is possible that you have got away without paying VAT, I cannot avoid paying the VAT before customs clearance on shipments from outside the EU....plus KU is VAT registered so I have to charge VAT on sales within the EU. Regards, Don. PS. My view is that US made stuff is not 'cheap and nasty', rather, like some stuff sourced here and elswhere, it performs the primary function of separating you from your money. That is the case with the items I previously mentioned. and there is, as I said plenty of information available to check both here and elswhere...certainly, though, not the case with IPD's ARBs. PPS the camber arms are the same as those I source from Eibach.....Chinese...

well thats the thing......
i placed the order online and paid no shipping at that time. the site flashed up a notice saying for int delivery contact the sales team. so i got in touch and they said it would be $80 for delivery and that they would ship them when i agreed to this amount. i sent an email saying that i was happy to pay just let me know how to pay the money......next email i get back from them is the tracking info from fedex!! they arrived this morning and were handed over no probs just a quick sig in that little computer box thing. so as far as i can tell i have not paid for the shipping or the import tax etc?! i even checked the credit card this morning and the amount that i paid originally is still the only and last deduction. could it be that i have got away with one? |
