Stocking Kev's mods in Europe

I was just wondering if anyone has ever considered keeping a few of Kev's mods in stock in different parts of the world rather than Kev posting them from Australia?

Maybe I'm just indecisive but I've been damn close to buying the fuel mod and the o2 wotsit on more than one occasion but have also stopped short of the "Buy Now" button when faced with the delay and postage costs from Australia.

Wouldn't it make sense to send a dozen or two in one go, and then distribute them locally as the sales come in? It would surely make Kev's life easier, and make purchasing for people in the northern hemisphere both quicker and cheaper.

Just a thought!

Jim.

In my experience it's the UK postage that sucks
I've ordered stuff from China more than once that has turned up at my door 4 days later, the second time took longer from UK airport to my door than from a small Chinese town to uk, cause UK dispatch don't work on a Friday after 5 till Monday morning, had bits from Japan to usa to uk in less than a week, then 3 days from UK to my door,
We suck postage

Most mods get to the UK & out of customs in 5 days from Oz & at the most 10 working days due to your local customs or postal delays.

I have been asked this question before & the answer is who will pay the second postage cost to save 2 days of postage time? At any one time I carry over a 1500 pounds of stock in mods made up & parts in stock to make the next batch of spacers, fuel mods & O2 controllers.

I try & keep my mods affordable, in real life I don't really have the time to make them but I do it to help fellow riders with mods that improve there rides & to keep interest in this forum, I help & run a few forums & have mods for those bikes as well so I am kept busy most of the time.

If anyone would like to buy a bulk of my mods, spacer, fuel & O2 controller mods & keep the stock yourself to shorten the delivery time feel free to contact me.
