Clear No-Bump Corners

I took a shot and my offer was accepted for a set on UK eBay. However the guy wants 12GBP(about $19 USD) each to ship them. Doesn't that seem a bit excessive? I don't mind paying my BO price of $15 a pop for the set, but I've asked for a combined ship quote that'll hopefully be lower. That's almost $40 USD in just shipping, and I know they are tiny little things that weigh nearly nothing.

Am I being nit-picky? If anyone's interested, there is another set listed but without shipping option, so you'd have to negotiate that pre-purchase. Also a set of the Euro tails are on there.

That's a BIG ocean it's got to cross. Shipping is always bad from UK/France... (Honestly $20 for anything from Britain is a good deal!) Good luck!

It's a little excessive. Mind you, Royal Mail is some of the fastest service I've ever received. I get some parcels faster from London to Western Canada than packages from California and Oregon... especially smaller ones.

That sounds about right for postage. I just checked the Royal Mail rates and a 800g (28oz.) small package from the UK to North America is £11.64. A letter coming our way could cost the Brits as much as £3.30!

What I'm saying is he wants $19 usd each to ship them, though. That seems like double what it should be, right?

[Aaronbrook37]

Yeah shipping profiteering is a huge problem on Ebay. Not much you can do about it unfortunately. You could contact him and ask for a discounted combined shipment.

[sketchman]

I did. Still waiting on a response.

[Bathtub Tom]

Whereabouts in the UK are they? Is there a collect option? I'll gladly help if I can and send them on at cost.

[sketchman]

That would be awesome, but I don't know if they'd let you or not, or if it'd be out of your way or not.

Woopee. He's agreed to combine.

[Prafeston]

Right on!

Did you get the early or late corner lights? Only the early are direct fit.

Says they're from 91 and up, but I assumed that was wrong and just looked at the pics. Listing says actual vehicle, so they should work. I thought all the late model ones had that bump on them?

I believe for those to work you need the fenders, different curvature. You should totally ask him for those headlights and grille! I would LOVE to have that for my 90lx!!

[sketchman]

Hmm, well that would bite.
He says in the listing that the car is being parted, so just search ebay.co.uk for Kia Pride, and you'll find it. I'm sure it's available.
