davidsilverspares delivery cost?
« on: February 25, 2010, 08:44:41 AM »
So I'm trying to order an engine crash bar for a CB500 from www.davidsilverspares.co.uk but it doesn't give me the shipping cost. they give me the price of the item and then ask for my credit card information but i don't want to click purchase until i know price with shipping. anyone had any experience with buying form them and what the shipping cost is to the USA?

QUANTITY PART UNIT PRICE TOTAL (£)
 Engine crash bar set £49.00 £49.00
   SUB TOTAL
   £49.00
  Total (ex delivery) £49.00

You need to email sales@davidsilverspares.co.uk and ask Karl to give you a shipping quote.  Give him the part number and your shipping address.  You'll get a response by tomorrow probably.

It's actual shipping cost and very reasonable - I bought a couple fork dust caps, some steering head washers, and a gas tank rubber and paid less than $7USD for shipping. The items arrived sooner than some other items I ordered the same day from a company in the US.

well thats good to hear, if the shipping on this item is less than $40 u.s. then I'd say its a heck of a deal.

+1, their shipping costs are very reasonable. I paid under 8 USD to ship a cam chain, 2 soft links and tensioner blade, to give you an idea.

Yep I saved a bunch going with DSS, even with international shipping, and the parts got here scary fast!

very good shipping rates IF the package is small! Expensive if its a bigger package, not DSS fault just oversea's postage in general is pricey. I got a exhaust for a CB400f shipped and it was around $180 !!
BUT it was one of the last available (if not the last) i checked back a couple of days after i bought mine and they were listed a out of stock, a few days after that they are no longer listed at all, so thank god i did ;D

DSS shipping in the UK is actually quite expensive because they can use special delivery services. It's good to overseas unless you start getting heavy valuable items. The national postal carrier in the UK has a rubbish set of choices for overseas large items...

about 6 months ago, i didn't need one at that point(just starting resto), but i kept checking their stock and it kept going down!
Once it hit 2 i ordered, they said it was out of stock but emailed 2 hours later and said they have one, whew.i know it was $$$ but it makes the bike and my bike is a keeper.
