    Hi Guys

    Good to see you are chasing up oliver!

    With the postal system I would (based on my experience) only order quantities that can be bought in to australia via Australia Post. If you use ups or a shipping agent it can and has gonme really wrong for me and has cost me hundreds that I didnt budget for. It is australian customs, what can I say you have to love them.

    so naturally I had to play with my trailer

    I quite like it, seems to hold the gear well and is quick and easy so the next week will be the road test!

    havent checked the credit card yet was about $160 including exchange rate, not bad considering the cost of the gear it holds

    yes that was the all up price it came by post in 5 days! the postage was $20 more than my original post of $120 and there is the conversion thingy so $160 pretty much covers it. you have to use post as shipping agents kill it!

    I am going to order a couple of other things like the spray pack rack and the fast tie downs for the ride on etc. really happy with the quality of the gear.

    yes there are definatly break-through quantities when it comes to postage and there has been a few enquiries from this thread to Olivia directly, but some one will have to step up to the plate for the order as the larger parts cost more in postage.

    But even so if your putting a thousand to fourteen hundred bucks worth of brush cutters on a rack how much should you pay!

    And just having my gear out and easily accessible as I zip around jobs saves me money, time and effort. and what pricew for a toy that the misses cant argue with

    I spent all day yesterday welding up some racks for my new trailer the bits and pieces cost me $60 this morning I went out to fit them and guess what they don't bloody work they don't hold the trimmer secure enough it rolls around 60 bucks down the drain came in and read this thread so have sent jungle jims an email to see if they will post me a set. Someone in Australia could make some money out of this sort of thing.
