What can I say about Raul?!
I have had 2 major deliveries of items sent from him over the past 6 months and both well over exceeded my expectations. I am based in Sydney, Australia and am always hesitant about buying abroad but I've had no problems here.
Raul is a bus enthusiast himself. From the pictures I've seen he has an awesome camper and I can tell from that and the parts I've been sold by him that he is a perfectionist.
Going through the lifecycle, I slowly build up a wish-list of items I need and Raul sources them from who knows where until I exhaust my list. He has found me everything that I've wanted + more and everything is honest. I have high standards but Rauls are higher - an item that I would describe as 8/10 he would say was a 6 or 7.
The last box of stuff arrived yesterday (it was huge with over $500 of parts) and everything was packed carefully and thoughtfully.
I've already started another wish-list.
Thanks Raul |

Super stoked on all my stuff! Got all the yellow Vynil, Door Panel, Bottom roller, top roller cover and Catch cover..... all in SUPER good condition! Best part was able to meet up with him on his way to SD on Saturday! I like getting "packages" in the mail but there is nothing that gets the heart racing like being able to pick your parts up!!! VERY VERY VERY happy! Raul knows his stuff! True asset to the VW community!! TWO THUMBS UP |

I purchased most of the '72-'74 heat exchanger/exhaust conversion from Raul. What he lacked in communication, he more than made up for with exceptional parts and packaging. After seeing the care that was taken packing my items, I now feel guilty for pushing him on shipping .
Thank you Raul for a great transaction, and those boxes are AWESOME! _________________

With the exception of a computer glitch in which Raul was unable to E-Mail me a tracking number, I got exactly what Raul had posted the part to be. The extra care in packing up the part will assure future buyers that the part will definitly arrive safe and sound. |

Very positive feedback here.
Raul is fast and friendly to communicate with. I saw some brackets he had for sale, and following a fast PayPal transaction, he shipped internationally to me here in the UK, and the items arrived here soon after, very nicely packed, and exactly as described.
I will be buying from Raul again. A great seller. Thanks. _________________ 1965 Type 1 Deluxe (1200cc)

More positive feedback. I bought a gravel guard and a dash table. It was a smooth international transaction as before, and they arrived here in the UK today less than two weeks later. The items were really well packed for their long trip, and exactly as described. Raul is a credit to the Samba. Thanks again. _________________ 1965 Type 1 Deluxe (1200cc)

Just received the parts yesterday. I was amazed at how well cleaned and well packaged they were. This has to be the best samba experience I have ever had. |

It was a pleasure dealing with Raul. The jumpseat was as described and pictured in the ad, and he was responsive to both emails and phone calls. |

I bought some parts from Raul and everything was accurately described.
Honest guy, easy to communicate with.
I arranged to meet up and pick up the body parts from him, and he went the extra mile to wrap and cover the parts so they won't get dinged up.
