So, for $75 USD I can get about $40 worth of clutch and throttle cables shipped to me? They will probably fit in a padded envelope and ship as letter mail for about $5.

Also, add a $30 tip if you want them shipped anytime soon.



Think Oh it will cost more than $5 to ship that. More like $15.


Maybe. Either way, the principle is the same.
I can ship a t-shirt in a large envelope for less than $4. I'm thinking those cables should fit without an issue in the same sized envelope (~15" x 10"). They may have a bit more weight, so the price might go up a bit.
But anyways...

you never asked whether it was in cad dollars or us. I was goin canadian since i'm in canada
so that $61 us including shipping anywhere in north america i think that is still a pretty good deal.. considering some folks live in alaska and in puerto rico.


Not trying to battle this out to the death. Just defending my opinion.
The reason I assume your price is in USD is because even though I'm in Canada, and you're in Canada, the last time I bought something off you, I sent Canadian Dollars. You then made me send 30% extra because you told me all of your prices are in USD, even though there was no mention in the ad.
So that's where I got that hunch.

Good luck with the sale!

Principal is not the same. Cheap rates are usually considered media mail here. No track, slowest, unmonitored possible type of shipping. If you don't care about your purchase getting lost - and not seeing it for a month - then yes, ship it your way.

What I meant by 'the principle being the same', is that whether the shipping cost added to the value of those items was $5 (like I guessed), or $15 (like you guessed), it's still more expensive than buying new.
That's the only reason I put it in the whines thread.

Time will tell. The price was firm, so if they sell, I was wrong.

That's funny, I literally just ordered those, and shipping was $5.78
Granted, this isn't Canada.

I wanted to pass this along so others can share it around, that I just got off the phone with J bugs, where I had a shipment not go out for a week, and they let me know that they in the past week have had three or four people quit, and another person turn in their two weeks. However they did just receive about 35 pallets of new product.

Not to mention that the top is wrong for a 71, and it apparently had no camper gear, just pintrest posts of what it "could" have

What's the consensus on the available Jopex heat exchangers for the type 4 engine? JK and heritage both say these are good quality...mine are - well, not last legs but definitely ratty. Welded and repaired, welded and repaired again...

Jopex is just Dansk under a new name. Some of their parts are decent. I would have to defer to someone who had bought recent heat exchangers from Dansk. I know their stock style mufflers are TÜV approved, which is a pretty high bar to make.
