So picked up the goodies and had good and bad luck. The good? Duty and taxes were skipped on two out of three packages. The bad? Even though the items were shipped in their original boxes and were obviously brand new - one of the 203mm brake rotors had been swapped out for a 160mm one, ehich although new, wasn't near the same quality. I'm also short brake pads and mounting screws.
Not an issue for me as I have spares, but if it had actually been a critical component - that would have really soured the deal. I much prefer to deal in person so I can confirm the purchase personally instead of relying on someone's written description. Often sellers aren't particularly knowledgable about what they're selling.
