11 years later, the barrier is busted!

[DETOURS]

Might not seem like a big deal to 99.9% of you, but finally.........A BackBone system is being shipped to Australia........The shipping price barrier has always been the issue, but this guy has access to a container shipping in November....."SWEET!!!"......Oman, Sweden, Germany, Martinique, Britian.....and others, but until today.....never Australia!:cheerleader:

Very kool, my 'happy' rant is over......................shoot, I forgot to ask him to mail me some Vegimite. :headshake:

A one time deal, or are you starting a Australia warehouse? Also it would be pretty cool to get some of those pricey Australian parts in the US, hint hint cough AIRFLOW cough!

Single, private sale........but thats how we do it, direct to the Jeeper! :thumbsup:
Owner of the container is an exporter "out" of the US.......Automobiles brought to Australia..

If you have other Jeepers in Aussie that want them you might have to hook up a shipping deal with this guy. lol. Good job though...

Thanks.......The guy was pretty laid back, it was 3:30am there and we spoke on the phone for about a 1/2 hour bs'ing.....I felt like suggesting it, but did'nt want to push it, I was just happy to FINALLY get a product Down Under!!

By the way, his 98XJ is diesel.....:thumbsup:

What I did'nt mention was the fact that the BackBone System will serve double duty for flat towing, behind a custom coach....

Garry's stepping up to the plate......added a TailBone to his order this morning, reverse swing-out.....:thumbsup:

Glad to hear you are getting business all over the place... Just think now that the barrier has been broken... there may be quite a bit more business from the land down under.. I mean especially once people start seeing your product perform on his Jeep...

[cantab27]

heres there local jeep site .. list of venders on the left .. few people use wooders to get parts in nz

Thanks, I've qouted Down Under numerous times, but when the shipping is more than the product......it blows the sale, the containers are what's making this sale......and it's his neighbor who's doing the importing so he's probably getting them shipped for free. I've shipped most everywhere else it's permissable.

[cantab27]

i here what ya saying about shipping ,,, blows for getting parts down here for our jeeps ...but i like the jeeps so just save away ... is a local guy starting to make bits so that will help .... good luck with the sale ....

[bluedragon436]

Maybe after he gets his items and sees the products you are producing he might bring up the hook up idea... as far as setting up transport/shipping for products for you to Australia...
