Just a question.... did you check to see if you have to pay sales tax on the item when they arrive?
Happened to me once when I bought something from the states...

I gave an order by mail to Daryl as well. Hope he will respond. ( David can you talk to him, please....)
As I am in the forwarding business, it is cheaper for me to pay the freight charge as "freight collect" here, because the guys know me and I will have a discount.
OK, let us see what happens. PV, please put the news in the forum.....
I am as excited as you, PV,:lol: !!!
We do have a Feroza/Rocky/Wildcat community in Germany and Netherlands here, maybe if I successfully mount the stuff on my F 300, more guys wanna have Hurricanes. And Daryl could make a "Big Deal".
PV, will send you a PM additionally.
You all are so nice guys out there, it is fun every time I go to this forum, Thank You !

Wanting them freighted over to the USA in two days will make the price
very expensive PV......
I still reckon you'll have trouble with customs at your end delaying delivery; plus be most surprised if there isn't some sort of import duty/ tax.
I'm not going to call and hassle Daryl as he is doing you a big favour for very little profit. He has to organise all the delivery, packing etc so be patient- otherwise he'll not want to help out any other people overseas ie. JoJo.

extractor value ! Airfreight charges........

Hi PV , Hi David !
first of all I must say, that you are right , David: Daryl is going to make an very special job both for PV and for me. If you see him: please forward my personal regards and Thanks for all his efforts in this matter.
If I look on my Globe, I feel like sitting just in the middle of USA and AUS.
Does that have something to do with the freight charge ? NO NO NO NO!
My airfreight costs will be exactly AUD 297,25 (Adelaide to FMO Airport Germany) for airfreight and handling. There comes an additional handling fee at the FMO of EUR 55,- (~89,- AUD) plus Import tax + VAT
All around 800 -850 AUD or to make it round 500 EUR.
If I go to a local Mercedes or Audi or any other brand aftermarket tuner, I would pay the same or even more for a set of 4-cyl.HQ extractors.
OK I also have to work for my money, and 500 EUR is much. But the stuff is worth that.
After all I think, Daryl and David are doing a smooth job. Thanks
JoJo

If it's going to cost that much for freight it could almost be worth the wait and getting them sent surface freight (by ship). I imagine there could be huge savings if you were willing to wait around 6 weeks.
It's worth a thought anyway!
