been importing for a while .Eeuro is very cheap for critical engine parts, even after brokerage and tax, just take a look at prices (you probably have). The biggest bargain is making an order over 139$ (if you need) for free shipping so that offsets the brokerage and tax.
if the prices are low enough, say compared to a dealer, then it is a deal. Not really worth it for things liked oil filtres and plugs and stuff though...that is easily attainable at the local parts store
brokerage fees aren't as high as one thinks, but it is that combined with both taxes that make a difference.
For example ordered about $400 in parts from Eeuro last year for an engine rebuild. the brokerage and taxes came to $80 or so dollars. I figured I save $1500 if I bought equivalent OEM parts at full price from the dealer! We don't need to talk about an OEM radiator from EEuro for $149, compared to $1600 from SSI in Victoria (it's true!)
