Title: Help: Shimano BNT2165 for Baitcasters. No stock in Oz!
Post by: exp2000 on April 09, 2014, 09:08:34 AM
Does anyone know who might stock BNT2165 Clutch Cam Retainer and would ship to Australia at a reasonable rate.

Suppliers are out here so I will take a few if I can get them.

ereplacementparts: Availibility: Special Order which means no stock.

Good to know they ship worldwide though.

Going from my experience Mike also just orders from Shimano so also no joy.

at least they tell you straight up what's in stock & what "Special Order" means:

Are you sure Mike's actually has the parts?  They're not the most organized or informative & you may be waiting months:

UGH!!!  I looked around for you & Express shipping is $50-$60, while reasonable rates (<$15) mean 1-2 months in transit  :o :o :o

the part is shared by 37!!! models, so your local suppliers are likely to get re-stocked before an affordable US package arrives...  you may as well wait  :( :( :(
