Shipping

[reggiedog]

Have you ever tried Bert's?, as there cheap also and they have either new and original part's now you can't beat that in my book. Plus there very knowledgeable as to any part you want and they know how to fix the stuff also.

And they will tell you right over the phone as they have helped me out allot of times, and they also know how many of a certain part was ever made plus if you want a original part of that part they can sell you one of them also.

Try them you will like them, as I did and I have never been steered wrong from them on any part that you buy from them. But if you don't like the part or the part is wrong they will take it back no questions asked.

The best way to save money on shipping costs, is to order more parts at one time. Every morning we go into the store and their is 50-75 new internet orders ordered overnight. 80% of them are for 1-2 parts. Of those 1-2 parts orders, 60% of those same guys order 1-2 parts later in the week. Often some of the same guys order a third small order in the same week. If they looked a little further into their project, and ordered all 6 parts at once, they could cut their shipping costs by 2/3 .

Just a thought....

All of my suppliers only charge for actual shipping. They are: Bert's, Bert's, and Bert's. They know Model A's and sell the best reproduction parts on the market.....

That sounds just like what has happened here. Our Federal Government has required overseas vendors to collect a tax for them on everything they send to Australia if they have sales to here over a certain threshold. If the vendor screws up their monthly return, they are in trouble with your IRS because of a tax treaty between our two countries. As a result, some simply refuse to sell to Australia.

Not A related, but I wanted a spray bomb of engine enamel for my 57 Pontiac. It is an odd ball green that was not used very many years 55-57 Pontiac & some 40's Buicks also. Not that many people sell it. The first place wanted 20 bucks for a can, so I figured ok I'll bite the bullet until I hit the shipping tab....They wanted $20.50 to ship 1 spray can! I moved on & found another who was 5 bucks cheaper on the spray can & $6.95 for shipping!

God Bless & Happy New Year

the cheat is to get an address in DE, which is 45 minutes from me. then you are back to no sales tax and Im sure many co's do just that. not worth it for the small guy.

I am minutes from the DE line. Technically whatever I buy there is supposed to be listed and reported to the peoples republic of MD so they can tax me on those goods. In my last business we would file quarterlys with the amounts itemized, I dont buy enough there now to go through the trouble. But even personal stuff is supposed to be declared.
