Default Store that ships to europe?

Hi again folks...

Just wondering if anyone know's a good store that you can buy spare parts to my blazer for a fair price?

And that ships to little Sweden? Also if you can pay throu Paypal?

You see some parts are very expensive overhere? Have looked at several parts on ebay, sure good price but the shipping cost...nono..

Any ideas??

Regards Michael

Here in New Zealand, parts for Blazer's are only available as used parts or some people import for older classic cars. When the time comes engine & trasnsmission parts may be available locally as the Australian Holden is basically a Chev (GM). (please don't tell them that, they are very sensitive & will disagree.) My '99 Blazer has the same tranny as the Holden for that period.

I've bought stuff on e-bay but as Mickeymouse says, shipping charges kill. Sometimes shipping is 3 times the cost of what you buy. But then I am in New Zealand, FAR, FAR AWAY!!!

I'll also look at Rockauto.com. Thanks for that.

I feel your pain about the shipping costs.

I live in Istanbul /Turkey, while shopping in Rock auto, try to ad different items in to basket to catch best possible shipping rate.
Due to different boz sizes, sometimes shipping come redicilous ammount, but if you cancell just one item, or replace with another one shipping quota downs surprisingly, I did it three times on this way.
I hope it helps a bit.

Wish I lived in the States. They've got lot's of cool stuff & it doesn't cost an arm & a leg (at least for shipping). But then, for the guys in the USA/Canada things are probably considered to be expensive. I guess it's all relative to income.

I dont know in New Zealand, but here in Turkey , earning money is not big problem if you are a well educated person.
But earning money in US is harder than here.

You are probably right. I often hear aboutpeople in the UShaving a 2nd job. I originally thought that only happened in the movies. Here in New Zealand there are some people who have a 2nd job, mainly in the lower income group.
