Ah don't tell me you can get them real cheap?

Not real cheap but suffice to say I have a viable solution.  :pomppomp:

If you want any stuff from OSir... let me know...

I can get it cheap from USA & i dont get charged any Duty ;-)   so the saving is considerable.

This applies to anyone wishing to order OSir products, i'd gladly order on their behalf saving them the Duty :happy2:

Very generous and altruistic Rich but I wonder what the TT Shop (who have the OSir UK franchise) would say about this...

Nothing they could say?! or am i missing something?  :confused:


....I think you are missing something.

OSIR and TT Shop have a strict agreement between them whereby TT Shop is the exclusive reseller of OSIR products not just in the UK but Europe.

A lot will be down to the American OSIR reseller as to how things are done but they will be under a similar agreement.

Unless you are a holder of a very large Diplomatic Immunity bag, good luck with customs on both sides of the pond!

Its simples, when your in the states buy the product then buy som birthday/christmas wrapping paper package well send to your home address.  If your in florida you will more than likely bump into other brits in the p.o or courier office.

....And how many years ago did you try this, Keith?

Are you suggesting asking other Brits you don't know to help you?

Sorry, I'm not saying it's impossible but it's quite a financial risk at the very least nowadays.

The previous post someone mentioned they were going there hence my reply. I also employed this method when i bought my Carbonio type intake form the u.s seller.Also when i bought an Arai m/bike helmet.
I wouldn't ask someone i didnt know to buy me stuff though.

Hopefully you don't think I don't support any efforts to reduce the amount of heinous taxation feckin govn'ments impose upon us - I'm just warning people of the pitfalls so they know what they are getting into.

Because of 911 etc security has really wound up across the pond and this catches out a lot of what is actually harmless traffic.

APR Pump is a complete solution but more costly, other options are to buy upgraded internals.

APR is a quality product ready assembled and tested.  The Internals have to be fitted yourself.
