As the other guys said. Large items just cost to much to ship.
yes we pay more for landed items however thé guys in the businesses. Have capital tired up in shipping and inventory so they need to make a dollar too.

For the hassle and the time and extra shipping just not worth it.

Mark at capital classics carries a good stock level of 69 panels normally so if Sydney fails give him a call. You never know Moe maybe be buying another set of wheels and could deliver them for you  :grin:

 :agree: with jusTANG. You may be able to buy a guard from a place like CJ Pony Parts for less than $Aus230 compared with $400-450 here, but the cost of shipping a large and heavy package will blow the cost of the panel into orbit. Smaller items are OK. Note too, that if you go over $Aus1000 in total (i.e., item + postage + handling + insurance), you'll get hit with duty and GST.

Yes, we pay huge prices for stuff here; you can get it cheaper OS but you have to do your sums first to make sure it's worth it. Of course finding someone who's shipping a car over here in a container may be able to help out.

Hope this helps

Cheers
