Hi Guys,
Just found a link to www.hondaparts.direct, has anyone tried them, prices seam a bit cheaper but of course you would have postage, wondered if you had any info about them, always looking for a bargain, David Silver is charging silly money for things now! :o

Interesting to have another source for parts. I suspect that import duty and postage may ruin any price advantage. Looking at a couple of parts, they are not much if any cheaper, but that could just be the bits I chose to compare.
Worth bookmarking for the future though.
Cheers for the link

Since many/most US vendors insist to on UPS or FedEx as overseas carrier (for insurance and tracing), the shipments comes indeed a tad expensive.
And with those courier services is there no such thing as [marked as gift] or [used parts], they go by default through the full EC customs procedures and charges...
One would need a reliable, private, local partner over there who does the purchase, repacks the goods, sticks the [gift] label on and does surface shipment.
But even then the customs might still stumble over it... ???
