I think i have tinkerbell... got some parts coming from the US.... there taking there nice sweet time considering i paid for EXPRESS postage >.>

Tink: Not sure what that means.

MYDC5R: with the exchange rate the way it is at the moment, there is a lot of stuff coming in from the states, so these types of delays should be expected.

I friend recently imported an exhuast for his Ducati, it was sitting in "Imports" for about a week!!

Yes

All it means is, they're checking if any soil or debris, is on the tyres.

We do live in a wonderful environment after all.

Tinks,
not sure if this is the same issue i had to go through with, but tyres, whether new or used, must be inspected by quarantine (lady @ FedEx explained to me)

my tyres sat in the fedex facility for almost a week due to their incompetence...

if its the duty + GST your worried about, someone from FedEx would have called you already about it.

mate of mine had his shipment charged for Duty + GST before the goods had even landed on our shores.

thanks Ad, they got cleared this morning...

all good - was slightly concerned abt taxes - but i already had an email convo with Customs about it prior to purchase saying it will be all good if under 1000...

Was curious about this so I gave my clearance company a call.

Couldn't find out much as the reason is too vague and could mean a mirid of things. Has it actually been despatched? If so then you can narrow it down to it being a local delay.

If you want a more definate reason PM me your track no. and I can get my clearance guy to find out the exact reason for you.


Never mind about what I said as I just read your last post Dave.

i really like dunlop z1 star spec

[mrntegra]

how much they worth mate?? i see on tirerack.com there $132ea plus shippping of course

[plAythiNG]

cheap as!

[ChargeR]

Definitely consider the Z1s, especially considering how cheap they are from tirerack at the moment in your size. They offer a good step up in grip over the RE001 in my experience and will tolerate track use better. The AD08 and RE11 are also worth considering but I doubt they are worth the 20-30% price premium over the Dunlops.
