How long is too long?

[hayd3n]

Don't forget the USA government shutdown. That also affected their postal services. I believe that things will be moving back to normal from monday.

America has a Governmnet ... wait what???

10-14 days ex US to NZ is acceptable to me.
I've used Wemoto. (excellent)
I'm waiting on XR bits out of Bikebandit, (also good).
Use NZ dealers unless they try and rape me on price, (which is getting too common for this lil duck).

yeah I try to buy in NZ and from a local shop wherever possible, but sometimes you either happen across a deal thats just too good not to take, or you just cant find what you want locally anyway.

I just ordered rear sets from amazon and paid then got a email saying normally ships within 1-2 months. idd rather have paid more but its a bit late after you have been through checkout and paid to work that out.

Maybe Santa will deliver it.

wow. if they didnt state that kind of shipping delay in the advert, Id be demanding a refund and buying elsewhere. Its one thing if theyve said outright that there will be delays, and you can chose to accept it or not but waiting till youve paid? fuck that.

I don't think 26th December at 8pm sounds a likely arrival time also lol. What a strange thing to add to the delivery time. Boxing day special?
Im in no hurry as I need get enough cash for a quickshifter also which is the reason I want the rearsets.

Have had a lot worse.

I ordered a set of ebc discs and the company sent me one only, charged me the freight and tax deductions for 2 and refunded me the no longer available left disc and shipped the right then emailed me after it was dispatched.
I was lucky enough to find an old stock match on ebay.
They could have asked me if I wanted to upgrade to the newer style discs for an extra 20usd prior to sending half an order to me.

I ordered a knock sensor for my car from Aussie on Thursday, was on my desk Monday morning. Cost me $45. Nissan quoted me $300ish, Repco $700!!

Went in, error codes gone from the cars ECU.

Having something similar. Seller ships goods, never arrive. Finally get them declared lost (total investigation and refund still underway since start of August) and another set shipped (paying more for shipping). They arrive fast in just over a week.

Customs says value over $1000, need import code, doesn't make sense as it can't be, but I have a code, $250 odd of GST, and suspecting somehow the packages have combined, but it's only one set. Now I have to get a refund on the GST, but can't complete the claim until I can prove the amount I paid, which relates back to the two sets sent out, the first still under investigation. Once it's refunded the actual set will be charged, so I can prove payment and get a couple of months of shit sorted

Thankfully my only package that's gone that horribly wrong.

[tigertim20]

jesus, what a clusterfuck!
whats the percentage on import, is it just 15% for gst?

Too long is how long

GST is the usual 15%, but they are economical with figures. The exchange rate gets rounded unfavourably (not the one you were charged at the time or the current one, usually a good cent or more difference) then there was suddenly another figure (higher) which the GST got charged on etc. Then you have the customs fees (aka the time taken to make your life hell). On a $4-500 charge, the fees are about half the charge.

Thankfully, it's the only package that's gone seriously wrong in several years of getting things.
