ALL OF THEM grin

I personally wouldn't buy that car and I love Mercedes. If you absolutely have to have it, pay the money to get a THOROUGH inspection including a scan with a good computer (not one of those little or Bluetooth ones). It's easy to erase warning lights temporarily to sell a car but a deep scan will still pop up the error

Can you advise on a Mercedes model/year that is reasonably dependable.

"But why are their parts so expensive if as they claim they have no middle man and are direct with manufacturers? Afterall they are a Carquest undecided"


Ladies and gentlemen, the answer is simple-NIGERIA. No matter how honest you try to be the system encourages illegal behavior.

Case in point an issue I am actively wrestling as we speak that has been progressively getting worse over the past year.

When you import parts worth $1,800 (complete with manufacturer invoices attached to the pallet), pay shipping of $1,700 and customs decides that they know better than the manufacturer and says the goods cost $8,000 then hands you a duty bill of N1.6m ($3,333), what price can you then sell to your customer for? We fight it and usually get it down somebut that usually delays deliveries by 3-4 weeks undecided

Could we do like others and smuggle? Yes, we could but why would we put such a large investment at risk? We believe in transparency and doing things the right way but when a system takes advantage of that, what is your recourse? Despite that, we have never passed on the cost to the customer and simply relied on a low margin-high volume model.

So the next time you feel that Carquest prices are high, don't blame us, blame the system. I'm all ears if anyone has A LEGAL way to bring prices lower for our customers.

See images below.

Sorry I did not read your post from the beginning but I saw a red flag - thus my intervention.
Never use companies like FEDEX, UPS to ship (except unavoidable) because the complaints about crazy customs billing is assured.
Look for guys that does shipping /clearing business and use them or ship and clear yourself.
I have a feeling the guys at Fedex customs section connive with customs to fleece their clients.
... my suspicion is based on many years of repeated patterns of observation and wide feedback.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. We've actually used both and had more success with FedEx/dhl. One option you don't always all your goods and they never accept responsibility and repay you, the other option you pay more but at least you get all your goods tongue

Thank you! Glen said so. Rack right? I think I saw it there but I had meetings back to back and don't really face workflow much any more unless something is brought to my attention. Does something need to be brought to my attention? grin
