    Are they a good site to order from?
    It would save me a lot of money if they are..

    They seem to ship from the US but they say that it would arrive here on Monday so I'm tempted to give them a go.

    Has anyone any experience with them? I see one mention of them from 2011 on the site so I'm guessing not many have heard of them.

    Their website could do with updating, looks like it was designed on Windows 97, lol. Would you not try www.mister-auto.ie or www.eurocarparts.com?

    I use them all the time for parts for my Dodge Ram, but I buy direct form their US site, I didn't even know they had a UK site, might try it the next time if its cheaper or faster.

    The brake callipers Im after aren't for sale on any of those unfortunately, or micksgarage. Rockauto have them but they're remanufactured- I've never bought remanufactured parts before but I'm sure they'd be fine.

    We'll I think it's a uk site in domain only...the parts still ship from the US.

    Remanufacture brake calipers are quite common.

    I've used them and they're by far the best deal for a few items I've needed

    Would you know how much customs and charges would be? The item costs 150 euro delivered from the US.

    About 25% usually, they give you the option to prepay the customs which I always do as you don't have to pay the admin charge that the couriers charge. The post man will deliver it, it comes via Belguim post,but it can take over a week.
    Put the part in your basket and then click the prepay customs box this gives the total.
