    Yes, Sure thing, I have it stated in the banner on the top of the webstie that pricing is in AUD Excluding gst. In my terms of serive its also noted that the custromer is liable to pay any taxes etc inc gst. The GST is stated in the checkout page before you commit, it's not added on as an...

    I am very sorry. I am just as frustrated at the payment side of things. Shopify shut my shop pay down, I am forced to use third party (high risk industry) VISA/MASTERCARD facilitys. These facilitys cost me 5% every transactrion plus 2% for shipify to pass the order through. It hurts. I absorb...

    Hello, Your order will be shipped this weekend. Sorry, i have had a delay on my recent bulk purchse of bearings. I chucked a banner on my website to say there could be up to 12 day delay on orders going out but i understand customers don't monitor the website. The bearings arrived yesterday...

    I use SKF bearings and only support them. They are excellent and don’t leak. You could swap out for a PEEK dry bearing if it is a concern. The bearing isn’t for amusement, the fidget spinner aspect wasn’t intentional. it’s to take the load of the grinding to stop aluminium flakes. Tbh: my...

    Hey mate, Yes this is perfect. Nice clean drawing with lines connected and no double lines. Joy! The Actual designs go over the bearing hole though so they wont turn out good. But i get they are just test designs. Carry on mate :tup: Ben
