European Address to Send a Pump to
 

Folks

I am chasing an address that I can get a second hand water pump sent to in Italy or somewhere else close by in Europe. As the Italian bike wrecker can't do (or couldn't be bothered too even try to) shipping to Australia.

One of the many XT660's in my XT660 fleet (well two is more than one, and just because one belongs to my nearest and dearest shouldn't exclude calling the small collection a fleet of XT660's in my humble opinion) has developed a water leak from the water pump.

Since to fix this little issue you have to replace the mechanical seal and most likely the bearing (I have read that mostly the bearing is usually buggared once the seal weeps), I want build up a complete spare pump for the longer trips.

So can anyone help. What I am planning is to have the pump shipped to your address, I will transfer the cash for shipping to Australia into your bank, then you can send me the pump to Australia. Dead easy.

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully I have this right this time as I already bought brand new Raptor 660 pump from the USA that turns out to be wrong (unfortunately no exchange on that one).

oh come on
 

Surely someone can help me out.

Hi Wootton, sorry to see that you don't have too many helpers hehe. I could perhaps help as I live in Roma but I do not think that it is quite as simple as you claim, as we have er customs between Europe and Aussie so that some kind of export declaration and invoice will be required, otherwise the courrier will not send it. Where is the breakers??? And what docs will they provide with your pump??? Over to you, Simon

It is not a problem to import into Australia if the price is under AUD$1000.00 this amount is duty free.

Hi,
if I understand you correctly, you are willing to by the pump from an italian wrecker? And he does not want to send to down under.
If nobody else's doing, I'll give it a try.
