about 18 months ago I put together a wishlist on their website (AusDirect) and then emailed that to them asking for a shipping quote on the items. They emailed back and gave me a price.

Turns out it was too expensive and I didn't go through with an order, but yea they got back to me.

Must be because I am a pretty grouse .....

Thanks for the feedback ppls - all useful stuff - appreciate your time

I suppose it all comes down to buyer beware.

I had a ning nong of a time arranging my mini parts with ausmini direct,

I first quoted on some cooper stuff, then ended up getting half of it on ebay for a lot cheaper. I got another quote on the remainder of the gear and decided to get that stuff from them. I had them send it to my brother who was in london at the time and they sent the first quote.. bloody dickheads. Anyway the person i was dealing with was fairly helpful and very appologetic with the mix up and subsequent charging for the parts. Alls well that ends well
