Careful on buying BMW parts from Thailand

[BMW-FW26]

I bought some E30 parts from bmfreak on Ebay. 2 months later, no part. I know it doesn't take that long to ship overseas. I just bought a watch from Singapore, and it came to my door, in Massachusetts, in 4 days. Just a headsup for E30 owners.

Why did you buy it from someone in thailand? I thought thailand has been kind of an unstable country (at least in the southern part) recently? That sucks you got ripped off though. What parts where you buying? I might be able to get them for you cheap.

I couldn't find a 325is front spoiler anywhere. And the people before him gave him good reviews.

I don't buy from overseas... period. Only int'l country I'd buy from is Canada... and that's only if it's a small amount of money. Just not worth the risk/time IMO. Particularly most Asian countries. If you know how retail works over there, the seller wants cash, and the buyer wants to phsyically inspect the item before handing over the cash. If I can't do business like that (which you can't w/ eBay), then I'm not doing business with them.

It's not really one particular country that's a problem. You just gotta understand how retail works over there. If you're from America, I can see how you wouldn't know.
