Anyone had any experience (+/-) with this US organisation?

probably best too look around on starquest!

but im sure our US members will fill you in on any info!

no direct contact personally but I did see a few good results on Starquest a while ago. Nothing recent though.

Thanks guys, just having a look at some of the products, not committing to anything just yet.

I've ordered a few things from them without any problems. Check on DSMtuners.com for some feedback, they are a supporting vendor there.

You'll get better customer service from ebay. Even if the parts cost more on eBay, at least you may have the option for the seller to send them using USPS which will offset the cost of any cheaper products from Slowboy since they only use UPS (which is double the price) and that also means 100% chance of you getting done over additionally by customs for import tax. :x

Just make sure whenever you pay with Paypal that you use funds from your credit card. That way if Paypal don't refund your claim (hopefully you never have to), you can still get your money back by your Bank with the charge back system.

I and many others have had -ve dealings with Slowboy. They are just not worth the hassle for us international buyers.

If you guys want stuff shipped to you, I have no problem forwarding it out.

I've even shipped a whole diff before... haha... arrived in 5 days.

Aussies make some of the best perfmance products in the world , why go elsewere

Hey 4gpwr -

This was just a quick little thread for some feedback on a particular supplier - not Australia versus the world.

Well when you cant get what you want in Australia and its available off the shelf in the States then what would you do. I'm all for supporting local industry but Geez, you just love to bash anything not Australian dont you. Open you eyes and you will see that some of the US stuff is extremely well made, price competitive and available. I have yet to see any of your products other than the so called "best merge collector in the world" which you made in your shed and which (from looking at it) is some metal cut and welded together - something I admit I couldnt do but hardly rocket science really either hey!

Get over it :x

btw - thanks to all the open minded people who offered their thoughts and views. :beer
