Posting to the "colonies"

As rants go it ain't bad either. Maybe we need a Rant of the day thread??

No idea why anyone wouldn't post to Australia. If it's going abroad its going abroad.

"Posting to the colonies" for us Imperialists is no problem as long as we can exploit the natives and natural respurces for our sole benefit and return to the home country richer and more arrogant than we left.

I have ,,,,and I will,,,,helped out Paul on a couple of ocasions,,,,,,,,,,,so don't "rant" at me it does however take a bit of time to reach you down there,,,,,so let me know

I've sent a few things down under - only issue is the amount of time it takes for the cheaper options.

I too have sent parts to a member of the chain gang, which I believe still have not been installed...maybe you should contact a patriot rather than a tory for better results!!

I just assume that nobody on this forum would do this. In fact, when I've brought stuff from everyone on this forum they've
turned out to be champions. Perhaps it is just the scumbags that "pinch and break" that are refusing to post overseas in case
they get taken for a ride ... note the irony.

Oh my, was that a compliment and an apology on a public forum...well, too little too late mate!!!

Would love to visit "the island", but several things pose issues...expired passport, witness protection frowns on
association with convicts and then there is the language barrier...y'all talk funny!!!

Jeff...hope you and Kathy are well.

OK my Dickhead story from overnight ...

Won the ebay auction for the SM speedo about 24 hours ago. The seller (a fellow with the surname Ross) sends a message
noting that I live in Australia but he will only post within the UK. He asks if the address is correct/incorrect. When I get
the message (yesterday morning - 7 hours after the auction) I respond that I'll use a UK address and I pay via Paypal. About
seven hours after that he responds that because I didn't respond he's Second Chanced it and sold it to somebody else...
In fact, he must have sold it before he went to bed which means that he gave me about an hour or two to respond. Even if
I'd been in the UK at the time I might have been at work or something. He has repaid the money but I guess my feedback won't
be very flash. What's the big rush with this stuff? The auction lasts five days or more and then the buyer has to respond within
hours...

Unsure of the Post operations in the UK...here in the colonies, all that is needed is to fill out a customs form in addition to the address on the package. As long as the buyer is paying for the shipping, there is really no reason to avoid sales down under.

Glad to hear it...we are doing well thanks.

Anyone have access to an AIROH helmet dealer? Have an Mathisse Air modular that needs cheek pads (thicker than stock would be nice) and an upper visor seal strip. Not available in the colonies...

Thanks
