I'm an impatient bugger, but it was an STi front spoiler and some STi fog lamp covers....Quite a big box...

MRT have two agents in the UK.
Not being in a hurry, I e-mailed them about prices etc. Four months on not a word.

Dealing directly with MRT on same said "communication of the future" I got a rapid reply and was well impressed - so my business is going to the Aussies.

I get the same trouble seeking technical work info that can only be described in writing. I find that a large percentage of UK contacts have the same attitude.
Why spend goodness knows how much on a major marketing exercise to form a web site and e-mail contact, then not back it up?
Isn't it time that UK companies woke up to the Global Market?
Sorry to bring my wingeing into this thread...

Anyway, the short answer is MRT seem OK so far, especially the brill online brochure.
The delivery will be the proving point...

I bought a badge to try out their service and it worked OK. It took longer than I thought but I think they had to ship it from Japan!

It's got to be the most travelled Scooby badge in the world!

Question

I'm considering having some brake discs shipped over from these guys in Australia..have emailed asking for rough cost but due to time difference they are probably at the pub
Anyone had anything sent over..I'm trying to get an idea for shipping costs?

Hi Matt,

It's a good time to buy from Oz at the moment, as we are getting about $3AUD to the pound!

Yes, I've ordered stuff from MRT before, if it's in stock it will be with you within a week! Shipping is whatever DHL charge. A big box cost me about £60 in shipping, and about £10 for a small jiffy envelope. Really hard to put a price on it, as I don't know the exact weights involved.

Hope this helps
Andy

Scrappy- what did you get, if you dont mind me asking? Was it quite a bit?
dont mind waiting 7-14 days (think thats their normal time) and paying a bit less.
