Hey all
Just wanted to share an experience.
I just received my K&N filter from the UK today. I ended up buying off ebay because everytime I went to Autobarn or Supercheap, Iwas getting quotes nudging $160. One guy even said it could take up to 6 weeks.
Some of you will probably say you should have gone here.... but oh well.
Anyway, I ended up using a seller off ebay. I have to say that the shipping was outstanding. I paid last week, had a confirmation of payment through paypal on Tuesday and shipping email on Friday. It's now Wednesday and I have a K&N in my hot little hands.
However.
When I had very initially spoke to them, they had said they would remove the VAT. I didn't purchase straight away and left it a little while. I ended up purchasing and asked for an updated amount to delete the VAT. I got no response except for reminders to pay. So I sent another email. Finally I got the response of "why would we remove the VAT?" I responded with I don't live in the UK and heard nothing. I ended up just paying the full amount to get the filter. It would have been a saving of about 7 pounds but it adds up.
Anyway, overall a good result but I just felt their communication was poor. PM if you want their details.
