XV1100SE Posted May 10, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2012 On May 3 at 9pm EST I went online and ordered a Carbtune Pro. $110 Cdn was billed to my credit card (Carbtune and case 67 Pounds) immediately. Promised 10 day air mail delivery. Today, May 10th, the package was delivered at about 10:30am EST. Basically 6 days delivery from the U.K. to Canada. Package marked as a motorcycle guage and no tax, no duty, no brokerage fees. Considering I've ordered from the U.S. before and shipped UPS and it has taken 2-3 weeks (including time held up in Customs) and cost me sales tax and Customs/brokerage fees. USPS is faster than UPS with no brokerage fees and occassionally sales tax added. 6 days from the U.K..... priceless ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIC Posted May 10, 2012 Share #2 Posted May 10, 2012 I agree ! I got mine in about the same time a couple of weeks ago. I have had items from the east coast take longer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted May 10, 2012 Share #3 Posted May 10, 2012 My carbtune took a good month to get here. But from all of the reports I read, I was expecting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted May 11, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 11, 2012 ABout 6 years ago there service was less than week, not sure how they do it. Think there was a few on here that the package was lost for a month or so. Must have been the fault of the US postal service. HAHA Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess those guys rowing the boat must have really leaned into the paddels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted May 11, 2012 Share #6 Posted May 11, 2012 There is no way the carbtune was 67 lbs. Has to be a missing decimal point. I got same thing and 10 lbs would be an exaggeration. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyRSTD Posted May 11, 2012 Share #9 Posted May 11, 2012 I use USPS for all my Flag Pole Stinger Mount shipments and there has not been the first issue of several packages. I like them very well. I have even befriended the notorious monster mail man that does our route. He is really not that bad a fellow, you just got give him a while to come around. He is doing fine now and picks my packages up at the mailbox. Fuzzy :thumbsup2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
