what kind of parts?
for used parts I've had good dealings with salisbury auto parts and river murray auto parts (found them on ebay)
salibury got me my steering wheel and trunk trim, decent pricing expensive to ship because the trim's a meter wide

i ordered LED taillights from river murray, one arrived broken and i didn't notice till two months later, and Paul got me another one for shipping, good to deal with

new parts might be tougher, i've noticed some ads with "cant ship worldwide due to license agreement" although i just contact every seller, just in case lol

Salisbury had a left and a right set of these used. But says he doesn't ship to the states.

The ad says it. I'm going to message him and ask anyway, I just don't like to piss people off.

Can always use a freight forwarder. Gives you an address in AU to ship to. Just add it to your Ebay account.

Using an Australian Freight Forwarder

Big stuff over 3 foot long gets expensive tho no matter who you use.

I talked to Darren, they are happy to ship, pretty reasonable also. I bought both.

I have had several items shipped from Australia. In the past four years I've had only one bad experience and eBay made good on it. One company that I been dealing with lately is http://www.upa-online.com.au/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. They have an eBay presence along with their website. They used to be known as 4-Blok. They have changed management and their communication is very good. Larger items I have had shipped via TNT. AusPost also has a tracking website, if your particular wrecker uses them. It is not the most detailed or up-to-date and it seems that some times crossing international boundaries the level of detail gets lost.

Regards,

Aussie!
Believe it or not, I have just as much fun obtaining parts, the local dealer only seems to stock oil drain plugs and service filter kits

I guess they don't want to get stuck with a building-full of Holden parts when production stops. :lol:
