I didn't know they gave 1addicts discounts. I've been buying from them for a few years now at their regular prices lol!

Crap - sorry didn't mean to imply it was a "different" discount level, just referencing what he said here which I'm sure you already know/and are getting on parts:

My bad, so it's not a "1addicts" discount per se.

No problem - I had good experiences from Schmeidmann, just beware there will be some duties/brokerage on top of shipping. I ordered about $250 worth of parts and they used DHL to deliver, but I wasn't charged anything COD so I thought wow I got away with something.

Lo and behold, I got a call a month later from DHL stating I owed them $40 They always get their cash I guess. Still the prices were better than what I was seeing from FCP Euro etc even with the duties....so it's worth a shot to compare numbers at least.

Lastly - if exoparts is close in price might as well just stick to local and save the trouble. Just remember to factor in currency exchange.

Good luck!

Update got the valve cover from Schmeidmann few weeks ago. Recommend calling them because they gave me a more accurate and cheaper shipping method and even gave me a small discount. Also the duties/customs were very reasonable compared to UPS and shipping was fast.

Ah - excellent! Good to know about calling them, I did an online chat with them but it was more for clarifying part numbers etc. Did you get the duties/taxes charged right away upon delivery? It took 30 days for them to get it from me....strange. Maybe because I had it delivered to my work and reception accepted the package, they just figured to send me the bill afterwards.

DHL called me for payment when it reached the boarder before they released it. It took about a week to delivery it to me.
