Just wondering if many people had ordered gear from More Power Racing in the states, if you have I'd appreciate your feedback and opinion. I'm interested in buying my R77 carbon slip-ons from them. Likewise if anyone uses Paypal I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts on that.
Cheers

Hi Troy,
I ordered a full R77 system from More Power Racing on 4th April and it has only just arrived in Australia on Monday and the UPS Tracking site has it down for delivery on Friday the 9th. In their defense they did originally quote me 2 to 3 weeks backorder for the Titanium one from the Yosh Factory.
After 3 weeks I was getting a bit nervous as I was checking my account on their site and no action was occurring, so I started emailing them and sent at least 6 messages before receiving a reply. By this time they had despatchedt he system and it was on it's way. UPS have a great tracking feature that they send a link to you with. I watched it go from Washington through Kentucky, then Honolulu and into Sydney. It's somewhere between here and there at the moment.
Another issue I had was that they originally quoted me the wrong shipping cost and a week after the order I got an apologetic message explaining their mistake and offering me the option of canceling the order or paying the extra $379.00 US. I paid as the full system will still come in under $1500.00 AUD.
As far a Pay Pal goes they provide a good service but maybe take Tim's suggestion as for direct debit. I just used my card. They also came up with some off the planet exchange rate "The exchange rate for this purchase is 1 AUD = 0.889316USD" The going rate for that day on the Australian Foreign Exchange website was around 1 aus = 93 cent us.
So More Power had problems with my order but they came through in the end and were pleasant enough to deal with once they got my order back on track and I would use them again as their prices are hard to beat.
I will either avoid Pay Pal or be more smarter next time.
Sorry about the long reply but hope it helps.
