I made a purchase tonight with Summit Racing. On the checkout there were plenty of shipping options with one being very cheap and known as i-parcel. I've never heard of it so I stuck with DHL.
Has anyone chosen i-parcel as their shipping option with Summit? If so were they reliable? Did the parcel arrive in good condition? |

I've ordered heaps of stuff from Summit and used i-parcel for shipping and i've never had a problem. You get a tracking number and i-parcel send you an email everytime the package changes ststus, ie: when it leves the U.S, when it arrives in Australia etc.

Depends on weight etc.. A camshaft, TH400 main shaft takes 5 days...
Summit is a big company.. They wouldn't use dodgy shipping co.. Yes they supply tracking # etc...

Thanks for the heads up about I-Parcel. They sound pretty reliable so I'll try it out next time I buy from Summit. Cheers!

From when I ordered a K&N air filter for the Paj to when I received it was 4 weeks using i-parcel. However alot of that time was taken up by the fact K&N needed to make the filter first before Summit got their hands on it.

I ordered a melling pump on Monday and used I parcel. It's handed over to aus post when it hits our shores. $370 door to door for the m227. I am expecting to get it after the new year if I'm honest which will mean my tensioners will have to wait till then. :(

My gear from Summit arrived this morning too using DHL. It left Ohio, USA on Wednesday and arrived this morning (Friday). Faultless service from Summit. I will have to try out iparcel on my next order and see how it goes.
