Just a question. Why is it that when I order something it always comes to Aus via Germany? I ordered some hiway pegs on the 9th May. Just checked the tracking today 25th May and they are currently in Frankfurt Germany. Is this normal? I know other members have got their orders over here in as little as a week and a half. I don't think I've ever got any of mine for at least 6 weeks. Sometimes longer. It's not really a huge problem as long as I get them,but I'm an impatient bugger and I want to fit them LOL

Tony that does seem an unusually long time to get your order and as far as going via Germany maybe Uwe can answer that one. I thought Qld was bad used to take about 3 weeks but now I find only takes 2.
Frustrating it is, you just want it I know the feeling...

Just got my order. 14 days. A little delay due to one item coming from elsewhere. If the parts for the Valk got here as quick, it would've been back on the road now.

I once had a set of handlebars go from Texas to Florida, to Canada to "somewhere" and then to Oz.
And then a 2nd set of handlebars turned up which I had to pay to send back.

I had the same...... Was very strange..... It arrived at Rotterdam harbor (holland), went to Germany, and took another week before it arrived at my place back in Holland...... No problem for me, they said it would take about 3 till 4 weeks and it arrived in 4 weeks....... But it is strange!

My recent purchases for other USA part suppliers.
I could track daily & arrived between 8-10 days.
I also realise that when posted items are sent in or out of a country there is limited space & weight .

Nah, when I have my outing to McDonalds on the Community bus for my 30c soft serve (my dentures haven't been repaired yet), I read the free one there. I do the crosswords and steal any coupons/adverts etc that interest me too. Lol
