Ive heard of exy post as postage happens twice, plus youre paying them to send it how they want, plus wrapping fees... and no comebacks on something not being what you expected.

Hi Veg, i use Jauce, Jon is right there are a lot of fees, but if the parts are cheap it's worth it, i got a kick start and a pair of 3hm1 RZ headlight brackets for around £70 all in delivered to my door. Andy.

Buyee is the only one I’ve used,
If the part is cheap enough it’s ok but by the time you get it to the uk it’s probably doubled. Buy a few bits more, sell them off to pay for the part you want.
You pay for the product and shipping to buyee warehouse
(Internal Shipping price is decided after you buy it by the seller)
Buyee are meant to check item and deal with seller on your behalf.
Once all your items are at buyee warehouse, they ask you if you want to pay extra for special packaging, (I’ve done it once and it was packed really well).
You pay buyee fees, somewhere in the process if I remember correctly there’s a Japanese tax and shipping to uk.
Depending on how much you buy, it might flag up uk vat and import charges and the dreaded parcel force fee.
Iv done it a few times but always bought more to pay for my part.

So far ive not bought, I just cant justify the price of Beet Alfin side panels by the time I would get them here as they are double the item price at least as Andy says. Sad but true. |

It's what you sent me mate. The KH expansions and decals. I spent ages looking at model kits, then KH stuff. Typed in Kawasaki KH250/400 and the website had a meltdown. Not seen the LC decals. Honestly I don't know how you find this stuff but I'm glad you do!

I’d not recommend buying from buyee on my experience. I’ve bought a variety of items 8 in total with a price of £60. All good however they will not bundle post them so I have had to pay individual post for each item.
Eg a decal sheet so basically a letter £18 post, a small set of 3D parts in 1/12th scale post £20 all from the same seller.
My postage total is 3x the purchase price. £60 of bits that could all easily fit in a small box maybe 10cm x 10cm x 10. Total post £180. They don’t let you then chose post until after purchase so you either suck it up or lose your purchase.

ahh, thats sad news Tim.  My issue with this kind of buying has always been the uplifts and postage along the way, the 3rd party companies are in it to make money and have that down pat. Ive not found it to be this bad before, but it doesnt shock me as much as it should. |
