Default JBA Parts order - Combined shipping?

Hi everyone,
I was about to place an order with JBA for bushes and replacement ball joints, and boots. I don't think this is good?




Murchison prices are just a joke!

But shipping from the US is stupidly expensive these days, and it's $100 shipping for just two ball joints and the 4x bushes. But even with that, it's still HALF the price of Murchinson.

I had a bit of a search and couldn't find a thread/posts about doing group orders / shared US shipping. Does anyone know if one exists?

Or... does anyone want anything from JBA, and want to combine our orders?
I have prepaid 5kg Express post satchels here I got for free, so I can send just about anything JBA related, anywhere in Oz, for free, once it gets here to my place.

Just so that u know.... u can buy bushes etc for JK from Repco and quite cheap too.... much cheaper than u r touting.

I would try Quadratec or Morris 4x4 in the USA for ball joints and bushes... prices will be competitive even after shipping... i just checked from Quadratec...front balls joints (top and bottom) about $200 + about $55 shipping.

You lost me a bit there. This is the KK forum, not KJ?

And are you saying the standard JEEP bushes and ball joints fit the JBA Upper Control Arms? Are you saying JBA arms have the same bush dimensions and ball joint fittings as the MOPAR factory JEEP parts??

If you think shipping ‘from’ the US is expensive, try posting something ‘to’ the US.

Order is in, thread is closed. But I'll have some spare slightly used with new boots JBA Upper Arm ball joints if someone is desperate one day. I've bought new ones, but I also got a a kit to re-con the old ones too.
