[s-cars] Looking to order rear calipers at reasonable cost

[Robert Rossato]

If you're using a credit card a lot of places will not ship to anywhere other than your CC billing address.  Places that will ship anywhere you want are definitely in the minority.  It's done to protect from CC fraud.  If someone stole your CC and ordered a bunch of stuff and had it shipped to their address you'd probably wish the stores had refused to ship to a different address.

If you want to order from them and have them shipped to the US address you use I would suggest paying them in a different manner, such as a money order.

As for the exhorbitant shipping charges, you can thank UPS for that.  I refuse to use them for any international shipping.

Frankly I find AutohausAZ to be great and would definitely recommend them.  Never had any problems with them.
