Went into my local dealer today to pick up a couple of bolts/etc that have shaken themselves loose ... couple bucks for a bolt, couple of bucks for a screw... and $15 for a collar? I balked a bit but I needed it so what the hell.
Now in future, I don't particularly want to spend $15 on something people in USA can buy for $2 via Ron Ayers or other vendors... the MSRP for the part was $3USD... seriously.
This **** gets right up my nose. It's not as tho my local store even had any stock, so sod convenience as an excuse... they have to get it shipped in from Sydney... ... ...
I figure, what the hell, I'll just buy a few of each so I have some readily available... when really I can buy a bunch for the same price as one collar in Au... except Ron Ayers only lets you sign up in USA/Canada?
TLDR: Do we have any local (or international parts places) that ship to us in aus, for a ... reasonable... price?
If not, I'm going to setup a freight forwarding account from USA I think... but don't particularly want to go to that sort of effort if I don't have to... for a few bolts... but it's the principle damnit. Importers are screwing us for all we're worth :\
