YEAR ONE = Highway robbery

I went to buy a Voltage Regulator from BikeBandit.com......it was a good price, $108 USD....and they wanted $111 USD to ship it here to Australia !...for something that weighs less than a can of Coke !!!
What a crock of sh!te......highway robbery, and I emailed them to say so.
Instead, getting a mate in Utah to buy it, and ship it here for me.....for about $20 USD all up postage.......fair enough it might take 2 weeks.....but, I can wait.
There is another mob that sells/recons carby's, and they wanted $280 USD to ship a Carter 800cfm carby to here......their excuse was they only use 1 company to ship and they never have any probs with them......shippments going missing.
