Tbh no ideas yet, but we will be looking into this for you all and working out whats the best way we can do this as the main issue will be shipping.

Yeah no wukkas mate,

and def agree with the bold bit, thats what gets us all the time down here.
either no one wants to send to us, or its ridiculously expensive.

so how long you been working there?

[Danboy_LMF]

I started last Monday so getting stuck into the job, my boss mentioned your site to me last night so thought rather than wait till I'm back at my desk I'll just get straight to it.

haha, nw,

LMF huge over there or is it basically just the online site?

[Danboy_LMF]

Its basically an online shop but we have a small shop that people can drop by, when people see the website they think LMF is huge but in reality it just a small unit with 4 people working there including myself :D

Nice vecy

[hazrd]

omg

mate that thing is HOT !!!!!!!
welcome :)

[Nurb608]

Welcome to the site Dan, awesome looking vec you have there. I have brought a fair bit of stuff of LMF in the past and the shipping is pretty much the same as all the other companies over there so well worth it.

[gmonkey]

SEE CHRIS SNOWFLAKES = WIN!! BUY them damn it!!


Beautiful car man, love that front grill!

[mr corsa]

hi danny say hi to steve crook for me

[Danboy_LMF]

hi danny say hi to steve crook for me

Of course, will tell him tomorrow when I'm at my desk :)

Just to let you all know I'll be looking into the shipping costs over the next few days and will try and work whats the best for you all.

Also if you all wanted to buy in bulk and we ship to one person in Australia and they then ship the items out to individual peoples that may also save on shipping but we'll look into this.

[gmonkey]

sounds like LMF needs an Australian Representitive :p lol

[Danboy_LMF]

sounds like LMF needs an Australian Representitive :p lol

Its just an idea, just depends on how urgent people are for what they order and whether they'd mind if it was sent out that way.

Again just depends on what savings it makes on the shipping if any. So something for me to find out lol :lol:

[mania]

Wow, a veccy C I really, really like. Stunning!

And an LMF rep, even better :cornut:, have looked over LMF a few times - have always been turned off by the lack of shipping info though :(.

[btm]

g'day mate and welcome to the site. your veccy is pure porn, love it!

[Keep'emRunning]

sounds like LMF needs an Australian Representitive :p lol

yeah! With all the astras/barinas/veccies on aus roads and the outrageous prices holden charges for spares, an Oz based online LMF store would be extremely viable.

So Dan, do you like -cold- beer and warm climates? :D

Otherwise I'm bored of my current job so I'll put my hand up.. hahaha

[coyotte]

Yes, welcome ! I've bought quite a few LMF bits online direct, & Ebay UK.
Service, pricing & turn around times have been great.
Strongly Recommend LMF.

[simmy]

welcome to the site!
your veccy looks hot, i love it :)

i'v looked at LMF quite a bit but never gotten around to getting anything.. good to know we have a contact now though..should get a bit of business from us here i dare say :)

[Danboy_LMF]

Just a little update, currently looking into shipping and its a nightmare lol :lol:

Just sending individual items looks as though its gonna be expensive, unless we do various group buys for things :)

Have any of you recently have items shipped to you from the UK and if you have what sort of cost was you paying?? just looking into things so I can do you guys the best deals that I can.

Dan

[gmonkey]

i just bought 4 18" wheels with tyres postage was 180pounds

We can certainly look into it :D

[gmonkey]

its ur county section that ruins it ;) maybe put an 'other' in :p

[mr corsa]

lmf have always sent to my P.O box no problems

[Nurb608]

Usual shipping from the UK for small items is about 65GBP if that helps.

[sooty]

Usual shipping from the UK for small items is about 65GBP if that helps.
guess it depends on the weight etc, i got my box from DTUK shipped for 10GBP by international royal mail parcel force.
Small things like badges etc i wouldn't imagine would cost too much, it's only once you start getting to large or heavy items that it get expensive.
Irmscher-bitz uses DHL, maybe try seeing what they can do for us...as their service is always good, gets here within 4 or so days.

Sorry, should have justified what i meant in regards to small. I was talking cams, precats etc, bit of weight. Also just got an intercooler kit which was 175GBP at 13kilos and quite big.

[poita]

my 19" rims cost me 300 pounds shipping from the UK.

the ****s ripped me off no doubt, but meh, what can ya do!

[Danboy_LMF]

Once my boss is back in the next few days we'll see what people will charge us for shipping.

[gmonkey]

try royal mail... i know there dodgy bastards, but ussually cheap.. another company to look at it is wesendeveywhere or something like that i imagine someone will correct me on here, someone else on here recommended them to me before

[scotty_gsi]

hello dan im the guy that came in and brought the c20let flywheel and injectors and stuff good to see you on here :D

[Danboy_LMF]

hello dan im the guy that came in and brought the c20let flywheel and injectors and stuff good to see you on here :D

Ah its cos you then that I'm here :D

Right just a lil update for you all so you can see I'm trying everything possible lol, we used to be able to send stuff quite cheaply through Royal Mail but the gits have decided to go all tight on stuff we can now send.

I've got to measure up a few boxes and then price them up with our couriers, but I'm just trying to find the time to do that as we are slightly short staff plus I'm still learning the job lol :lol:

But fear not I'm getting closer to sorting it for you guys :D

[Shay]

[Danboy_LMF]

[Shay]

hey mate, this is the info he gave me...

carpenters cottage
shilbottle
alnwich
northumberland
ne66 2hs


how do i put that into a form asking for address? i dont even have a house number, or street name?

[gmonkey]

carpenters cottage is his "number" as he is trying to be posh or something
i think lol shilbottle is "street"
alwich is "suburb"
and northumberland is "shire
ne66 is postcode
2hs is the 'fine' postcode for alwich
:p this is all but a guess lol

[gmonkey]

hey dan, check out


www.parcelmonkey.co.uk

.......and received ;)

[Danboy_LMF]

Right people I've got a few figures for shipping and all I can say is ouch :yikes: lol.

Right to give you a rough idea Astra G grilles (except Irmscher and Lexmaul) would work out at £40 delivery plus the part.

Astra G Irmscher and Lexmaul grilles would be £63 delivery plus the part, this is due to the value and slightly larger box sizes.

I was asked about Corsa B grilles and they should work out at the same prices as above.

Astra H Irmscher and Lexmaul grilles would be £140 delivery plus the part, again its the size of it that doesn't help.

The cheaper Astra H cross hatch grille we do would cost £80 delivery plus the part.

Any quite small items we should still be able to get through Royal Mail but I shall try to quote as I go along.

Sorry this post is a bit long winded lol :lol:

[gmonkey]

thats not that bad man... ive paid worse :p what courier you quoting through?

[Danboy_LMF]

thats not that bad man... ive paid worse :p what courier you quoting through?

The company we deal with are called Fast Lane International, they are partners with DHL.

At least they are fairly straight forward to get prices off.

I still need to work out a quote for sending a set of wheels I've been asked about so will see how that turns out lol :lol:

[gmonkey]

ah yeh a few members on here have used fast lane before.

[Shay]

I still need to work out a quote for sending a set of wheels I've been asked about so will see how that turns out lol :lol:

+1*10^6!

[9090GO]

I missed out BIG time!! :eek: Welcome to the site mate. ;)
I deal with LMF before, but postage is always an issue :( for buyer from down under. I know irmscher-bitz uses DHL, no matter what size and weight, AUD$19 per order (ie Eibach pro-kit).

[Nurb608]

I I know irmscher-bitz uses DHL, no matter what size and weight, AUD$19 per order (ie Eibach pro-kit).

The additional costs associated with the postage are included in their base price for the item, thats why the postage looks low for the bigger heavier items.

In saying that, it makes it easier when ordering as you don't need different freight pricing, it is what it is.

[Danilicious]
