Previous posts from US owners say the service is good and the delivery time sometimes quicker than within US.

Try another credit card if you have one, I have several as each has its issues working outside UK but at least one always works.

AN has no distributors. They have dealers but the discount is very small - I am one of the few left in the US.

You're probably right on large orders that it's no more expensive to buy from them, but you're way wrong on small orders when buying from me.

I place large orders which makes the shipping hurt much less, especially on small items, and you pay more than me for the parts themselves. That said, if you go to the big resellers in the US who make a living selling parts, the markup is big - of course it is, they are trying to make a living!

Selling parts for me is not a living, it's a PITA that I do to serve the community and to save on the parts I need for my rebuilds. It's also stupid of me to have $70,000 of parts in stock when I'm sure there will still be at least $60,000 left when I die! No, I don't have everything but I'm sitting here right now putting together my next order to replenish everything I've sold since my last order.

That said, I too am a major fan of Andover Norton and am especially happy that they are carrying more and more Triumph parts since I need them just as much as Norton parts.

Re the first post on this thread.

The latest Andover Norton news letter says they have noted payment issues with some international transactions and have updated their website to correct this. So hopefully it is working fine for everyone now.

I have never had an issue from NZ but seems that sometimes US transactions didn't work.
