hi all i dont know if anyone will agree with me here but since i have had my zed there must be maybe only a hand full of things i have bought from england the rest has been from the states. All cheaper even with carrage, why is this and we (england) will never compete with them.

 

me and autobeast have just orderd 2 HID kits from a company in the states and with 1yr warranty, shipping and income charges its only around £160 over here there about another £70 roughly.

 

how come england carnt have these prices, spent 2 days comparing all sorts of prices and items, not just zeds or cars but just over all genral stuff and there always cheaper, in sum cases they have been found more expensive but thats including shipping aswell.

 

can anyone answer this.

That's great until yer caught out, it takes just 1 decent priced package to come through in bits or worse not at all ( oh it happens) :eek: and you can claim just 25 dollars!

 

Karl, in responce to this

" ok i can see that the traders have to make a profit otherwise whats the point, but what im saying is how do they compete with the states on prices or ebay say for example, people say you dont get warrenty or reassurance, course you do if you buy from a company and if you dont buy from a company then you get what you diserve if it goes wrong, everything i have got from the states comes with wrranty. ok i now it will be more of a pain in the ass to get it fixed, but by the time people in england get off there ass to help and sort you out, the blokes out in the states have already sent you another one out. (not saying all traders are like this) "

 

 

Simply it's a case of a warranty is only as good as the company who supplied/manufactured the goods. I had 5 customers last year to bought from the US and 2 had a bad experience and the other 3 trying to sort faulty goods out :eek: in turn they came to me and obviously more expense but also the headache that can go with it. Say for example you buy a product which once fitted may still give symtoms as something wrong, say perhaps HKS turbo's and a HKS tripple plate clutch ( just for arguments sake) you fit these items and the car maybe still smoking or the clutch feels like it's slipping or won't disengage or just undriveable, i can tell you now for a fact, they will like any other company say that fault lies somewhere else, cost of removing these goods certainly ain't cheap, postage to the US deffo ain't cheap!!! and you gotta wait to find out what's what and still the same answer, heartache and expense and wost of all time of the road.

Now should similar goods have come from say myself, you would have received the parts that i feel from over 6 years of selling parts for Zeds is right for your cars engine and future plans, should you not be happy with something i can be contacted most of the time in minutes, i know how these goods should operate and feel and would speak with the garage direct re the fitting etc, still nowt resolved, then at my own expense i replace the parts subject to confirmation the parts are not as they should be and it is ME who deals with the supplier even if he's across the pond to resolve matters.

Theres a couple guys on here who have been burned very badly in their dealings with across the water and the same goes for ebay, they may come forward and say what's happend.

"great today but gone tomorow" is my final saying on it ;)

Good luck
