Gargastic Shipping

Recommended Posts

Went to buy set of e30 wheel studs from them. US$80, shipping quote was US$157!

I messaged them that l was not happy with their one international shipping/packaging option.  Also pointed out their business might prosper with offering other options in their services providers and packaging means i.e. using sized bags and not putting a small part in a big box.

I also pointed out they 'subsidize' their mainland US customer's on large orders maybe they could do that too for international customers.

I also pointed out TMS provide  two options & do appropriate bag/box sizing. My last order from them was a small item US28 shipping US$10 or a US$57 options. A few dollars less for a few days more suited me.

Yeah, l know there is the NZPost lnternational Parcel system & there are Sea-chests that some firms have in place. We could be using those but l like a one stop shop system.

Are there other means of getting our goods to NZ at a fair and reasonable cost ?

Where are you trying to buy from? 

FCPeuro has them landed in NZ for under $90usd. And they have a lifetime warranty. That's for 20 of them as I thought you may want spares. 

Either Rein brand OE or BMW OE.

I've found RockAuto and Schmiedmann best cost and shipping wise to NZ.

Eg Rein OE: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8836584&cc=1011687&pt=7680&jsn=437
SKP OE spec: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=11137797&cc=1011687&pt=7680&jsn=436

Yeah they have been real good for my E55.  Unless it's a split order.  As soon as something is coming from another depot the shipping gets silly real fast.  And they charge way too much for oil to ship.
