I once brought a part for my Model A from a supplier . A single condenser of all things and was charged about $40 postage and it took 3 weeks to get here . When I queried the postage I was informed they didn't set the rates US post did and it was implied that US post was superior to all other postal systems including our postal system here in New Zealand. To make a point I returned my used condenser to them with a rude letter included via New Zealand post . I tracked it and it took 5 days and cost me the equivalent of US$ 4 - Never heard anything -Never brought from them again .
