Arran Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Looking online they do some really good prices for things like exhaust manifolds etc just wandered what quality all the stuff might be? Anyone got any knowledge of the site? Cheers Arran Quote
DoogyRev Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I looked at a few bits from them, but after looking at the import charges, I got my bits from Traders on here You also get a bit of piece of mind that if there are any problems, they can be sorted much easier than dealing with across the pond Quote
SteveRS Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Looking online they do some really good prices for things like exhaust manifolds etc just wandered what quality all the stuff might be? Anyone got any knowledge of the site? Cheers Arran As Doogyrev mentioned, the shipping, import duty and VAT are not included in the price. VAT and duty are calculated on the total value of the item plus the shipping cost. You will generally pay 25% of this total cost to cover the VAT and Duty charges. Quote
Paddy78 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 If you order expensive items like exhausts or spacers etc. you will save a fortune, even after import duty and VAT. Most items will be cheaper as UK traders will import from the US and there is still a margin for them. The price of most items seem to be matched $ to £, so depending on the exchange rate you're saving around 40%... ... Minus 3% import duty and 20% VAT. The only downside is the hassle if something goes wrong. Quote
glrnet Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I used them once or twice in my early days and had no problems at all but that was before Tarmac was around, as previously mentioned there won't be much that traders on here can't source for you Quote

DannyBoy Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Z+STORE How can I never have seen that before! Genius. DB Quote
Squee Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I've used them before - some gear bushes for my ZX - very quick service and friendly guy. I think it's a 'back bedroom' operation but don't let that put you off. One thing I would advise is if it's only a small item you're buying (ie gear bushes) then email him and ask if he'll send out via Royal Mail as the standard shipping on website sales is via a courier and about £8 shipping which is a bit pricey if it's something that can go in a jiffy bag.

Paddy78 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 So ignore all the stuff about import duty as the Z Store is a well known American company! Quote
glrnet Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I have used the zstore but NOT this one Think you need to change your thread title Heres the link Alex http://www.zcentre.co.uk/ Quote
Arran Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Ive seen the american one, looks a bit overpriced I havent seen that website before just curious as to what the products are like thats all Quote
