Does anyone have a good idea what that might run? > I'm not sure how import duties work, but the way Groschi at southafrica-parts does it is he sends one big shipment containing all his North American orders to a guy in Washington state, who then repacks everything individually and sends them out separately. My father has spoken with him several times over the last 3-4 months, keeping tabs on my SA brake order status (VWSA has the saddles on BO), and as far as I know it's just price + shipping. Probably worth noting that he only goes to south africa four times a year, and doesn't carry much in the way of stock on hand. He may have a few grilles, but if he doesn't you might be looking at the same 5 months, as they're probably backordered by VWSA. -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger" |
