First order from Czech Republic

In early February I made an interesting order.

There is a guy in Czech Rep - Alexander. I heard about him from a friend with Skoda Octavia and later found him at Russian forum. He can send whatever you want to anywhere!

Here is how: you contact him via e-mail or his site, send him part codes of what you need, he send you prices back. Now, if you agree with the offer (and you should! - check prices below and at Champion :-), you transfer him money via PayPal. He removes all original packaging (good for customs), makes invoice with prices you desire (again, good for customs) and ships to you.

This is what I got a month ago.





My order was
Part #MakeDescriptionPrice, NIS
6R0 129 620 AVAGAir filter90
03C 115 561 DVAGOil filter49
5J1 998 001VAG1 set of aerodynamic wiper blades136

DMA 710 002VAG1 set of luggage nets for luggage compartment153


Delivery to Israel (by sea)128

Everything come gently packed, even better than manufactures do. But... no original packaging. That is good thing if you buy for yourself or group of friends. But it could be complicated to sell stuff elsewhere.

About delivery time from Czech Republic.
If you want low delivery cost, it should go by sea and expect it from 2 to 6 months (real stories). My order was sent Feb 10th 2012, at May 21st it was released by customs and I grab it only May 25th - more than 3 month!
For extra €25-30 it can go by plane and I heard from 6 to 30 days of waiting.

My next order already on the way: stowage boxes for both front seats (each for €15) and more oil filters (each €10).
