Help Wanted: Ship my fairing to South Korea

[steelhead]

I called Ron Ayers last night to order a front cowling,  but they don't ship internationally. Even worse, though their website lists it at $296 (2005 Blk/Red front cowling), they wanted to charge me $381. They (Jonathan) at Ron Ayers told me that the website has the wrong price. Worst of all, I was asked to call a dealer who ships internationally at the new price!

To order from Ron Ayers's dealer contact + shipping will be the same as buying a front cowling locally (in Korea) for $500.

So I'm trying to get one through eBay. But most ebayers in America will not ship internationally even if I win.

I therefore need someone in America, who is trustworthy, to accept the ebay item and re-ship the front cowling to South Korea for me. This basically means walking down to the post office.

MY OPTIONS:

1. I can go to a US freight forwarder. This is expensive for small orders.

Any true hardcore trusted hayabusa.org members willing to help me out, I will donate $50 (through Paypal) to this board as a sign of appreciation. I'm sure that $50 can be put to good use.

Of course, I still have to win the front cowling, and it has to be cost effective before I commit. But if I definitely have someone, then I  am one step closer to the impossible dream...getting a front cowling without losing my shirt!

Worst comes to worst, I'll just have my broken fairing repainted with new stickers for $250.  So there is my range: $250 to $500. Hopefully, if I find a good ebay deal, then my total shipping costs and donation to the the board will come under $300 w/fairing. Otherwise, I can order one from eBay (from this one single international shipper) for about $380 new w/shipping incl. Those are my numbers.

If you can help, please post here.

Thanks,
SteelHead

Thank you DevilDog! I will contact you on Monday to give this thread some time to circulate.

If I win an eBay auction, I will have the ebay seller mail the front cowl directly to an .org member.  

It needs to be a trusted .org member BECAUSE when they receive my front cowling at their door step, they will have the choice to either keep it (which would be bad) or they can walk down to the local post office (which would be good  

 ).



Much appreciated

try vman1300, (aka  kevin) at this website:



he hooked me up and had outstanding customer service!

edit: also 281 does sound cheap for the front nose peice.
