US websites?

Post by echunda »

The the Australian dollar sitting so high, I thought it would be a great idea to buy a set of leathers from the US. I already buy from http://www.mxsouth.com/ but their leathers aren't the best price.

Anyone had any dealings with US apparel sites?

Any recomendations?

I have used the following sites and have found all very reliable

http://www.ridegear.com

http://www.ridersdiscounts.com ($25 delivery fee regardless of size)

http://www.starcycle.com

http://www.oppracing.com

just ensure you star under the $1000AUS limit otherwise you may attract some import taxes.

perfect time for buying from the US.

also dont forget http://www.alpinestars.com/

$600 and shipping is a lot less than $1300 from retailers. best thing is, you can try it on here and you will know what size to get :D

if i wasnt in the process of moving house id get fitted out! :x

I've dealt with Flyin Brians on ebay and don't have a bad word to say.

try eGay & do a search.
there will be about a million hits for brand name product at deep discount, even with the shipping.

make sure the 'value' on the invoice is under $1000. it should fly through & not get picked up by customs.
this will avoid customs duty & then gst on top off that..

Also try New Enough. I've been chatting on a US forum for a few years and those guys rave about 'em.
