Delivery from the USA

[mister c]

I've found some bits on ebay.com for the SV, I emailed the guy to see if he could ship from the states. In his reply he said that he couldnt find a decent postal system, but it would also cost a lot of money to get the parts over here.
Has anybody had any experience in shipping from the States, if so do you know of any shipping companies that are reliable, and what sort of price I should be paying.
The parts are very light and would fit into a medium sized Jiffy bag.

I bought a zippo lighter from a dealer in California. He sent it through UPS and it was here within 5 days. Was pretty cheap postage too IIRC.

I had a sppedo kit shipped from USA via UPS and that took a bout a week

I've had stuff from the states and it came UPS, took about a week or so.

I've ordered crash bungs and they came within a week after ordering. I think postage was only about $25-$30 for them...

I've also ordered t-shirts a few times, they come in jiffy bags, seem to usually take about 2 weeks to get them- pay $15 for postage on them.

Now's the time to buy from America as its just over $2's for every £1

My experience:

UPS quick, but more expensive.

Standard mail, cheap, but generally slow and massively variable (I've had between 10 days and 7 weeks!).

Cheers people. I will give him an email & see if he wants to try UPS :)

USPS, United states postal service, works fine. I order loads of stuff from US ebay with no hassles.
