Hi,

I've been looking at www.ishiimokei.com  in Japan, the costs of their Nexus
parts is about 1/3 of that we pay in the UK.  The only trouble is the
carriage - seems quite high, about 28 quid for a 2kg parcel.

Soooo.  I was wondering do any of you Nexus fliers want to club together to
place one big order, that way we get the parts dirt cheap?

Any takers?

Hi kevin.
i odered a hirobo chinook from ishii mokei in 1997 ,sstill have it now . If
i remember correctly there is some sort of bank charge that you have to pay
, not a normal £10-£15 charge . I think it was a percentage of some kind .
Just be cxareful and ask them the payment procedures before you order .
Things might be differant now !
cheers

Ben,

They seem to have various options detailing payment - the cheapest seems to
be using ain international money postal order which is 500yen extra.  The
credit card has a surcharge of 12%!  So just need to figure out how the
international postal order works.  Any ideas?

Hi there
Tell me what you need. I can post it to you and you can pay me i
pounds into my UK bank account. I will be coming back to blighty nex
summer and could bring some larger parts or a heli. Stops you gettin
hit for VAT . Smaller parts can be sent as a small packet and don'
cost much to send.
Now you know why Japanese manufacturers call the UK.......... "Treasur
Island"
PM me for more inf

Do they really? The cheeky buggers... True, but cheeky none-the-less.
