[COMPLETED] IPD Group-buy - 1 July 2022

jamesinc

Me and @Evan11509 need some IPD stuff but anyone else who would like to participate please post a list of the parts you need.

I live in Sydney but am happy to post parts anywhere in Australia. Obviously be mindful if you order something extremely large or heavy the domestic postage costs may eat your savings, but we have conducted many group buys over the years and they have always delivered savings.

Edit: the group buy is now full

I just need one of these:

How's this work ? We pm you and pay you then once we've all paid you send the order ?

I'm also pretty sure IPD still do a small discount (15%?) if you mention Oz Volvo forum....

Evan11509

Skandix shipping is slow and ridiculously overpriced- negates any savings

paul0075

The exchange rate for Euro vs USD solves a fair bit of that on a group order. As for shipping time, I find that stuff from east coast US takes just as long as Germany most of the time. Those were the main reasons why I switched to Skandix, who also have a much better range for 140 series. Skandix customer service is better too, since IPD got bought out.

Evan11509

Can't argue with the 140 series range availability, but my last Skandix order shipping cost 140 euros and took over 6 weeks. My last FCP order took 6 days and cost for shipping $41. Out of curiosity I just did the math: For the same spark plug leads including shipping with Skandix works out to be 315 AUD vs. 170 AUD with IPD (including shipping).

jamesinc

Yeah Skandix is the slowest by a factor of 5 at least

@jamesinc whats the go with payment? When and where do you require the funds pm me if needed. Also @rado and I are both in WA also just to let you know

jamesinc

@TL_V70 I'll send you all DMs when I place the order as I have to check my bank transactions to see the exact $ AUD amount.

I'll re-post stuff to you in WA, I dunno if you guys see each other face-to-face much but if you do I can just send it all as one parcel and you can save some dollars on domestic postage.

jamesinc

Hmm okay we have too much stuff in the order. It currently totals $727.48 USD and we need the total below $660 so we need to drop $68 worth of items.

@VolvoHordz, @rado and @TL_V70 I dunno if you'd be willing to change anything in your orders. If not I suppose I will have to make it first in best dressed which would mean @VolvoHordz gets knocked out and @TL_V70 you may have to drop one of the cheaper items from your order.
