Hello All,
I have been trying to acquire some Commodore ZB components but have found it very difficult to find sellers willing to ship out of the country (understandable). Most licensed Holden parts dealers are not allowed to ship outside of Australia due to licensing agreements with HSPO. Alternatively, very few wreckers want to do this either.
Specifically, I am looking for OEM exhaust components like the front intermediate pipe and possibly the rear mufflers off of the VXR hatchback. Other 3.6L V6 AWD components might also work. I understand these components are inconvenient to ship locally, let alone globally, due to their awkward size. Even after global shipping is calculated, I can purchase these parts used from Australia cheaper than I can purchase them here in the US due to the high core charges.
Any tips on where to find new/used parts are appreciated. I have looked in the usual places like fleabay and various wrecker sites. I have even found the part I need on fleabay, but the seller isn't willing to ship globally. Which leads me to my final statement... If anyone has experience with international shipping and would be willing to act as a middle-man, I would be happy to compensate accordingly (within reason).
Sorry for the essay... any tips would be greatly appreciated! Also feel free to reach out directly.
Cheers,
Jack
