Only 48% increase on Aluminum?

Gotta be enamored by the original intent and to how far Ed's thread of intent has come! Riddled with both sides of political rhetoric, thought this was a motorcycle sharing forum?? Aces Ed, You opened a nest, ha. Motorcycles and the loss of availability, lucky i restored this bird years ago when BOTH Parties didn't have as many fingers in Your pockets.

I agree Wookie. While it's taken some close review and only a couple of deletions. I think we've done pretty well skirting so close to the abyss. Probably a result of us all belonging to the same community despite politics.

What is frustrating is I don't know what the total cost of a part will be. Will there be a service charge? What hoops do I need to jump through to get the part into my hands?

That's the mystery, You won't till You know. The carrier/shipper will ask for the tariff fee plus their "administrative" fee. And i can Grant you it'll be more then You paid for the part.

Yup my house too. Only problem is people don't seem to want to pay double for gutters on these high dollar homes. I'm in the USA.

Real world experience ordering bike parts from the UK to USA 

This is NOT my personal experience, the info is in regards to importing bicycle parts not available in the USA.

UPS added $35 for fees on top of tariffs in the 20% range when ordering from England.

In all, +$91 on a $347 order

Bill came 3 weeks after the parts arrived.

What did you order?
Alternative source?
