beemwr 46 Report post Posted September 27, 2022 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 ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) 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. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-lug-bolt-36131126191 Edited September 27, 2022 by Driftit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
