hi one & all,
Looking at importing some bits & pieces from a company called Jaws Motorcycles in the UK who sell all sorts of bits & bling for m/cycles but specialize in Blackbirds ( amazing whats on there check their web site out...www.jaws-motorcycles.co.uk), I have recently sent a list to John requesting a price in NZ currency incl of insurances etc, etc this was his reply
Hi Hami,
sorry mate, thanks to a fellow NZ Bird rider I am unable to send either screens or huggers out to you guys..
The guy ordered a CF hugger, signed for it and then found it damaged.
He has told me you folks cannot check the goods ( or indeed sign for them as possibly damaged ) until after you have signed to say you have got them in good order
Because of that I cannot make a claim yet he wants a replacement or will cancel his card payment..
I am sure you appreciate that if what he says is true can never send huggers or screens to NZ ( or Australia ) again as it is simply unsafe to do so..
Does/has anyone ever incounted issues John is remarking on?
Is there a safer way to import plastics like huggers & screens etc?
I have never had to import anything from the UK before so this is my first time at this, I know of some BB owners who have brought bits off John some years ago without issue. Any input into this matter would be greatly appreciated.....:2thumbsup
