    Z1 Enterprises (to the UK)

    Ordered a shim tool on Friday, it arrived this morning. 5 days including the weekend to get it from somewhere in the USA to here in the UK.
    I'm getting all my bits from there from now on!

        agreed on the customs thing. I got hammered for import duty once buying a big clarke tank for a cr250. Wee stuff they don't seem to notice so much.

        ridiculously cheap tho that z1, and quicker than some stuff I am still waiting for from ebay etc.

        You know that was about ?10 delivered for a shim tool. How much would one cost from robinsons etc. , mental, eh.

          I think you 'legally' fly under the radar at less than around ?20 but I've had quite a bit of stuff ex US and got away with it every time.

          Need to get everything quick though I guess as the weak $ must start getting stronger against the ? with the direction the economy over here is heading (down the toilet). 2-1 = half price can't last long.

                I'm so pleased I'm calling tomorrow to tell whoever answers the phone.

                Might see if there's a 1983 gs650gtx air filter while I'm at it.

                The planet is indeed shrinking.

                  Probably Rob... or if not Jeff... In England Geoff is short for Geoffrey. I know you guys pronounce that different over here but we pronounce it the same as Jeffrey...

                  I assumed he was a Geoff... maybe he spells it different because he was fed up with people not pronouncing it the way he wanted or maybe he always had the US spelling...

                  Either way... as long as we keep placing orders on Z1 I'm sure he really doesn't mind!!

                    It's Jeff...

                    Jeff - or Jeffery if you want the full name...

                    Thanks for the comments. We try to ship promptly - the rest is up to the postal services. Sometimes the post offices and customs people are fast, sometimes not. All US Postal Service packages leaving the North America go air, so the packages should arrive in no more than 10 days.
