eBay Global Delivery Program
« on: November 19, 2015, 09:39:53 PM »
Is a bloody RIPPER!

I bought a 2nd hand flywheel from a US based eBay seller for $US50 and $US35 postage.


At midnight last night it was at Underwood in Queensland, so with luck it will be at the Post Office at Clifton Beach for collection on Saturday morning.
 
To really put the cream on the day, my Motobins parcel with new flywheel, clutch and drive-shaft bolts, and assorted seals and O rings arrive this morning. The new drive-shaft boot will not be here till next week....Ah Well, with a bit of RTV the old one is fit for further service.


Anyway, the real point to this - the Global Delivery program is a beauty, I was able to buy quite a few KLE bits (disguised as ER5-N bits) out of the USA - small stuff like a set of cylinders and barrels, cylinder head, gearbox etc, at reasonable prices and rates, so I a a born again believer in eBay.

That is good to know Tony, thanks. I have found in the past that most US ebay sellers have been totally unrealistic with shipping costs. They seem to think Australia is on a different planet.



 I usually look to European vendors but maybe I can include the USA in my searches again.

Yep eBay global delivery program is great


But Australia Post still SUCKS big time.

My parcel with the flywheel in it has been sitting at Underwood (suburb of Brisbane) since mid-night on 19 Nov.
 
A boy on a bicycle could have delivered it to Cairns by now, its only 1,200 km!
