Thanks, Randy!  :good2:

I am always trying to instill great customer service, especially to the younger generation.

It seems to be working fairly well.

Thank you, Randy - RPM

P.S. Did we do better than RS?

This time of year, Randy employs "magic elves"...Really quite impressive what they can get done in short order.  How he pulls this off in the dead of summer...in the midst of prime FJ riding season is beyond me.   :unknown:

Unless I'm not seeing it. The only positive out of the below is the maximum allowable weight increase for Commercial First Class Package Service. F**kers!

Interesting..... Australia Post has just had an increase in the cost of the basic postage rate (ie delivery within Australia of letters) form 70c to $1.
From their website. http://auspost.com.au/parcels-mail/pricing-updates.html



"On 4 January 2016, the Basic Postage Rate (BPR) increased from 70 cents to $1. There were also changes to business letter prices as detailed below.

There were no changes to prices of concession stamps or seasonal greeting stamps, which remained at 60 cents and 65 cents respectively.

These changes will allow Australia Post to recover more of the cost of providing the letters service so we can maintain our nationwide Post Office network of over 4,000 Post Offices, and keep our posties delivering to around 11.4 million points across the country."


They have also increased other services such as mail boxes.

Ordered parts from RPM to be shipped to Denmark.

Shipping only took 6 days, incl. Customs clearance.

Best thing is that I only had to pay minimum tax and import duties (USD 5) because of the goods type/amount declared by RPM.

Well there is a major announcement that is forth coming, right here and right now.

For all of the early model, pre fuel pump FJ1100/FJ1200 owners out there, there is finally an option for your petcock other than straight replacement only.

After many, many years of trying to get someone to build a 84-88 vacuum operated petcock rebuild build kit, RPM has finally been able to bring one to market.

I give you the...(insert drum roll here)

Yamaha FJ1100/FJ1200 Vacuum Operated Petcock Rebuild Kit.

As always, I still have the new petcocks in stock as well.

Hello RPM guys!

I remember you wrote somewhere to contact you for abroad orders instead of ordering on the site so here it is. I'd like to order silver fork brace and odometer reset boot. Shipping to Croatia. We can continue this in PM.  :good2:

Balky,

That must have been an old post prior to the websites creation. That's how we used to have to sell parts before the website.

The website is how it works today. The shipping will be calculated based on your address.

UPS is at it again...Jacking up the prices...

I am sure FedEx and USPS will not be far behind...

The following changes will take effect on December 24, 2017.
•   The rates for UPS® Ground, UPS Air and International services, as well as UPS Air Freight rates within and between the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, will increase an average net 4.9%.
•   The dimensional weight divisor for packages less than or equal to one cubic foot in size (1,728 cubic inches) will be 139 for all U.S. domestic services subject to Daily Rates or Alaska and Hawaii Rates.
•   Criteria and pricing for Additional Handling and Large Package surcharges will change.


So, take advantage of the upcoming RPM sales happening at the end of this year before UPS jacks the prices again.

We will have the black Friday/weekend sale as well as the Christmas sale in early December.

This holiday season contributing members will receive an additional 2.5% discount over the listed discount.
