I want to get a flaming river FR1505m for my cuda.
My problem is that the sellers of Flaming River gear here in Australia want more than double what they sell for in the US.
Is there anyway I could get a US member to buy and send one over for me.
I can pay by bank deposit or paypal.
So if someone could help me out that would be fantastic  :thumbsup:

Jegs are good. You'll have no trouble ordering direct. Shipping will probably run you $100. Maybe $200 if it's sent express or courier (UPS/FedEx/DHL)

It's under the $1000 threshold so you won't pay any additional taxes.

Why would post cost anywhere near $100
Its a small item and wouldn't weigh to much at all
I just got a steering box sent over for $90 and it would weigh
more than 100 couplers put together.

Because I'm an idiot. I didn't even look at the image. I was thinking it was a complete tilt steering column, not just a coupler. hahaha
