_BRS_ 209 Report post Posted March 5, 2018 Is anyone ordering from the likes on Turner Motorsport, ECS tuning, UUC or Pelican Parts in the next week or so? Just after a single $25 clutch line, and shipping is $50+. Not too keen to get ripped off. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyUS gives me a choice of 4 carriers, 5 services, so I can pick my rates. I've weaned myself off US purchases currently; may give comgateway a go in future. I get 2 day US shipping free from FCP as a priority customer, and combined with 4 days on FedEx and sharp rates it's often better for me than UPS to Wellington from FCP. That said, I need a sunroof seal and rear window trims/seals... next order most likely plain vanilla UPS from FCP. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've used them since we lived in Singapore, they're all over and very good. I do admit I also get FCP to ship to me direct though. How did you get priority customer status!?

I find they are cheapest 90% of the time. FCPeuro is usually second cheapest. Found your plugs for cheaper at fcp https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-spark-plug-fr7npp332-1 Maybe try comparing whole carts and you might get lucky Edited March 29, 2018 by zero added link 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Note that FCPEuro's shipping... it's not that it is negotiable, but if the price seems weird, email them and they can often make the shipping costs nicer. Plus that warranty...

zero 1162 Report post Posted March 29, 2018 Schmiedmann wont discount shipping but will discount the cart if you ask. But there is no beating that fcpeuro warranty. I will be buying my brake rotors from them for free lifetime replacements Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be buying my brake rotors from them for free lifetime replacements I plan on doing brakes whenever my parents come from the US again. Shipping on rotors is killer though. It's almost like buying new each time on shipping alone (and we'll get taxed on that, so it'll really hurt) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's almost like buying new each time on shipping alone (and we'll get taxed on that, so it'll really hurt) Brakes are a problem, and NZ retailers know it, marking up accordingly. Find a 'tame' seller in the US and they can be shipped in a flat rate box, but FCP and the other suppliers don't use that method. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacko 2156 Report post Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Dont forget ECS Tuning, found them way better than Schmeidman, quicker shipping and usually cheaper. Customer service is kick ass as well. Edited April 1, 2018 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(so includes NZ$39.46 shipping currently). with a 25% voucher, it'd be down to NZ$244.71 shipped. Sometimes the parts are discounted as well as being able to use the voucher too. There is a current 10% Easter voucher I think, but I've ordered for a mate a few weeks back with a 17% voucher (st paddys day) and previous occasions with a 20 and a 25% voucher. One of those times, I got 2x PAIRS (4 bars) of roof racks, for NZ$243 shipped :-) Edited April 2, 2018 by Allanw 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
