Anyone ever buy from this site?? What are there international shipping rates like?? I pretty much have to buy something to find out what it costs to ship it to me and I want to hear some experiences before I pull the trigger. They have the new style "R" badges for 9 bucks. I want to make sure the shipping isnt gonna kill me first.

As far as I know it's a same site as www.britishparts.com or www.motorcarsltd.com .
I got some items for my Jag thru their site and quite satisfied with them

They're reliable not swindlers as jaggraveyard

I buy stuff from the UK and Europe. If it's small and lightwieht and they're willing to utilize Royal Mail you should be ok. Otherwise it's pretty expensive and not worth it unless it's the only place you can get it.

Get a firm quote. You may end up with a customs bill later on down the road too.

I've recieved things like carb jets and sensors from the UK and it worked out just fine. Those were from Ebay retailers and they knew how to do it cheap even if wasn't strickly legit.

Let us know how it works out for you from these guys if you end up buying from them.

I recently bought the R badges from them without incident. It took about a week to get them, but overall it was a smooth transaction.

Just curious how much did they charge you for shipping?? Thats what I'm kinda wondering if it will be worth it.

I believe it worked out to be about $6 by British Royal post.
