Hey guys just a heads up. DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM OZEPARTS.COM not even a bumper sticker! I ordered a new front apron from them only to have the freight charge ending up to be 4, yes thats right 4 times the quote. desperately i agreed to pay and now today I get the part and its all stress warped!!!!! WTF!!!??? im not happy with these clowns at all. NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!!!! Just because dattos dont get the respect they deserve doenst mean that parts should be of a lower quality

godabeute i just ordered and received my apron from OZEPARTS. they sent it over night for $15 freight. all up cost me $50. i payed thru netbank and even had conversations with one of the guys there over email - he seemed like a good honest bloke...

being in Perth the logistics involved could mean it going from 1 courier company to another to another. poor luck there for you mate - but just to rectify for eastern australians - i got a good deal. email these people and complain to them about it - if you have a hardcopy quote and cant find any small print stating otherwise, you should be entitled to some money back from them. especially since its now warped and will probably require repair.

last night we ordered a pizza and it was late so we called up and ended up getting 3 pizzas for $10.. sometimes its worth it to chase people up when they stuff up.

THEN a few weeks ago i had 3 panels sent from VIC and when they got there one of the panels was warped and had 8 little dents in it. i did nothing about it and will just have to get it fixed when the car goes into the body shop, later down the track. in the end of that the 3 B110 panels cost me $52 to buy and $180 to ship to Sydney.

excuse the verbal diarrhea everyone.

I got two one peice glasss doors for my charger freighted down from Napeir. The doors cost $200, the freight was $120. And my g/f works for the freight company.
Some of us Kiwis would love them fromt spoilers from canbera car styling, but the freight is like three times the price of the part.
(Sorry if I'm turning this into a bitch about frieght thread.)

With regard to the spoilers, why not send the spoiler manufacturer an e-mail. If you buy a small quantity, by clubbing together with the others, you may well find the freight to be much more to your liking. If you buy enough, you may even ger a small volume discount.
It's worth an ask.

I bought a repress front chrome bumper from AP panel house out near bankstown and the thing has been badly pressed with streak marks all over the place. Only if datsuns were worth more originally would we get some decent parts!
