on line orders with MRE experiences please

[b5blue]

Like I said the middle of next week, I called and they confirmed they are in route. 

[Nacho-RT74]

Nice, but still this is amazing... I'm buying something WITHOUT EVEN KNOW how much I'm paying in total with shipping, nor an invoice or anything. All what I have is an order.

( I'm having problems to check the bank account on line so I'm blind right now on this status )

I think we are not on 70s or 80s to have this service failure.

Try to relax and wait till middle of next week, they have never done me wrong in 12-14 orders. They only charge real cost of shipping.  They are very good guys there!

[Nacho-RT74]

I'm relaxed about the order itself LOL, just wondering why the lost on the contact INCLUDING SEND AN INVOICE... I bet Summit drives maybe 1000% more orders and still handles everything. I guess shipping was $15-18 rate, but even in that way still have the doubt LOL...

and I guess on the shipping because before get the pistons from MRE I tried directly from KB, and they quoted me around $500 on pistons  and around $18 on shipping

  I understand your excitement Nacho, the first few times I ordered from them I made them get me a price WITH shipping before approving payment. After a while I just gave up and trusted them and never had a problem.

$27.41 to get all the way to Venezuela "ain't that bad", how much would Summit Racing charge to ship internationally ? , heck I pay that much in shipping all the time for stuff & I live in the U.S.of A., in California... it's part of the hobby costs to get parts... I'm just saying they don't set the prices, it the shipping company they use...

[FLG]

bud,

thats to his shipping company in florida, than it goes to venezuala.

its not bad but considering summit probabaly would have been free. but i feel safer with smaller companies like mancini who are mopar people because when things go wrong they generally try there best to fix it.

yeah Bud... I use a forward courier in Florida to get lot of stuff together and get one international shipping, so $27.41 is an internal shipping

its not bad but considering summit probabaly would have been free. but i feel safer with smaller companies like mancini who are mopar people because when things go wrong they generally try there best to fix it.

yeah thats what I meant... with ALL DELAYS I got for everything was the same to get from Summit with same delay and free shipping ( just $10 on handling )

what made me to buy from Mancini is just that they supposelly HAD IN STOCK standard and 030. I went standard so they should ship right away, but no, it took what it took.

same as Crower with the 282HDP cam I bough from them. One and a half week to get it delivered... GOOOOD

[b5blue]

Keep in mind they are "Drop shipped" the shipping charge is generated @ the the suppliers site. I'll bet Mancini only made 25-30 bucks off your order.  I'm glad they are on the way to you Nacho!

[Budnicks]

I'm just ignorant on international shipping costs I guess, I never had to deal with it much... good you got your parts & be able to build/assemble your engine now....

[Nacho-RT74]

well think on this... Once I bought from DrDiff thrust buttons for my suregrip assembly. I needed them URGENT so, I HAD to get it through Fedex in 2 or 3 days... had to pay for them shipped $100

of course regular service is cheaper, but it takes one month plus customs fees... IF ARRIVES ( normally does though )

Summit doesn't use regular postage service.

so thats why I use private courier services door to door, normally by sea.... it cost me arund $20-22 by cubic feet ( $120 minimun so around 5-6 feet )delivered in one month or month an a half once I give the order to ship. Normally I wait 2 months or so untill fill the minimun OR if I know will be buying more and the rest won't cover minimun later... Lets say I have already 8 cubic feet I can ship since minimun is plenty covered, plus the 2-3 extra feet being charged, but if I know will be buying next month something what just gets me maybe 2 cubic feet, I hold everything, because the other 2 cubic feet won't justify to pay the $120 for the minimun charge on a next shippment

if by air, around $5-7 by lb ( $50 minimun, so 8-10 lbs )... if by air volume is more than weight then volume is what is charged and not weight, delivered in 7 or 10 days.

No customs fees on these services since they take care of everything by themself

back to topic, suposelly pistons, cam, ridge reamer, Zinc additive and some more stuff non car related ( Iphone 4, turntable belt, leather gloves, profesional audio connectors, profesional in ear phones, and I can't recall what more ) should leave the courier warehouse yesterday and I should be getting in hands by wed/fry next week ( or I hope so )

[b5blue]

Looking at your "list" we take much for granted here in the USA for what is readily available!  Good Luck to you Nacho!
