Default Summit Racing Shipping

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..

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. :(

Well I'm pleased to report my oil pump has arrived!

11 days. Happy with that! Can't fault their postage service.
Lots of little goodies inside the box as well...

Will be doing a write up next week!

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.
