Importing tyres

[Greeny_SA]

Yeah Greeny,

Pretty spot on there, mate! I've had some conversation with Motosport via email, and when I enquired as to why they have stopped shipping tyres to Oz (and suggested what you mentioned), they danced around the question and eventually came back with a piss-poor excuse that it's just not feasible for them....due to shipping costs. I've then further suggested that if that truly is the case....then why not just charge the customer a bit more for shipping (which would STILL be cheaper for us than buying from local m/bike shops here)......and then I get no further response from them!!!

So, not only are they being pressured by the powers that be to stop exporting them to us here in Oz...but they ALSO seem to have been BOUND & GAGGED about telling the TRUTH behind the whole BS situation!!!

Last I heard, we had a free trade act in place with the USA......but due to the actions of some unscrupilous and low-life C*NTS here, the end consumer (...and the exporting retailer) loses!!

But some of us die-hard consumers aren't going down, or even away....without a HUGE fight to the death first!

Let the battle continue....and may the end consumer [eventually] win!!!

The Net will eventually end these sweetheart deals with tire company's Where an importer gets to make An easy buck at the expense of Customers & resellers for doing bugger all .I also thought we had restriction of trade laws Bazman ,but obviously not .I heard Motosport was the largest motorcycle tire supplier in the world but unfortunately don't have the ball's to challenge manufacturers decision's. Pitty for us customer's .
