Pretty sure they're only recently added International Shipping as an option as yeah, I would've bought stuff from there too a while back...suggestion, get shipping costs confirmed prior, as US often seem to charge real high $$$$$ for anything International :angry:

Yep, I bought either my leather jacket or my Arai helmet from them about 2-3 years ago. If I remember correctly they were very helpful when I emailed them to enquire about shipping to NZ and cost of this. The cost of shipping was quite high, but due to the cost of the product it was still shit loads cheaper than buying in NZ and I got something that was not stocked here. Always worth enquiring.

Yep, bought my good lady a funky bike jacket off 'em about 6 years ago and it turned into a farkin' pain in the arse. I paid via credit card, they then gave me some shit about changing banks could I please pay again to another account and make a claim for the original funds. After a fair bit of to-ing and fro-ing (fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me etc) I did this, eventually got my dosh back, eventually received the jacket, but it well and truly screwed up what should have been a nice birthday suprise.

I recently bought a jacket from them, the shipping charge was USD$66, should be cheaper for smaller items??? they shipped it and provided a tracking number within 4 days, it took just under 2 weeks to arrive.

got my mirrors in the mail ,,,, just like the picture on the box , nice "cnc"finish to them , small mirror area and yet to ride the bike with them so they might vibrate like crazy but form over function right? and got to be better than the huge horrid originals

Just bought some Acerbis hand guards for the Triple from them. Pleasure to deal with. The products took 8 days to arrive and they gave me a tracking number so that I could watch progress. I'd deal with them again.

Cool, was looking at an AGV MX helmet from them yesterday, will save about $40 on what is a $300 helmet here. Not a huge saving, but enough to tempt me...
Nice that they include USPS as well as UPS in the shipping calculator. UPS freights costs are more than the helmet is worth!

you should also try http://www.fc-moto.de (http://www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/secyUKadZZzlPQ/?Locale=en_GB&ViewObjectID=2587640&ChangeAction=SaveLocale&ChangeObjectID=21114257)
they have a good range of helmets, leathers, boots etc they take off 19%vat (gst) on checkout. which means some very cheap prices, eg new pair alpinestars tech 10 = under $600 delivered to NZ. you may or may not have to pay gst upon arrival, its a bit random that one. on the last 3 of my imports i was charged gst ONCE.

Cheers for that, will investigate thoroughly! Yeah bought lots of stuff in from overseas, seems to depend on the courier company that picks up the items locally whether or not I get charged GST. Got pinged on just over $400 worth of bike bits from the 'States, but nothing for the $1200 of car suspension from Germany.
