I ordered a bunch o' stuff from Z-1.
530 conversion chain and sprockets capacitors, points, gaskets...

Box was busted open and taped shut!:shock:
Chain was missing!!!

Talked to Jeff and Steve at Z-1 and those helpful souls are shipping me another chain. N/C \\/

Give those guys your business. They rock.:-D

Plus one on the Canada Post SUCKS MONKEY BUTT!

I sold a helmet on FLEABAY to a Canada buyer .. shipped I believe Jan 10 International Postal whatever.

Still hadn't arrived at the customer's address as of couple days ago.

Been at the post office in Canada since Jan 24 I think.

Huh, I refuse to have anyone ship my stuff other than USPS/Canada Post. I think I've used 'em all at one time or another and I've always had the best results with those guys.

AHA! I suspected you all along!

I find USPS and Canada Post to be the only reliable and not overly expensive way to ship from the States. Slow but it always gets here. On a couple of occassions I have had stuff checked by customs and that seems to add about a week more to it.

On the other hand, shipping in Canada can be a royal pain, even within the province. Last year I had a letter (with payment for an E-bay purchase) take almost 5 weeks to go 130km. Needless to say that caused some problems between me and the seller. Another time it took about 3 weeks to get a box from Toronto to me in Hamilton ( 45 minutes away).

Anyway, it beats the hell out of paying shipping costs and then another $40 or so for "document delivery to Canada customs" that the UPS theives tack on.

Cheers all,
Spyug.

Sadly, Canada Post (or Canadian Customs) are some of the slowest poeple to move packages.

We ship all over the world - proportionally Canada has the largest percentage of packages going missing, getting damaged, or getting delayed. It doesn't make much sense as Canada is only a couple of hours from us - but still most customers in Australia and Europe get their packages before our Canadian customers do. Just over the past couple of months we've had two packages go missing, two get damaged, and several take 3+ weeks to arrive. Only Italy and Brazil take longer for packages to arrive.

HEY JEFF!:-D

Once again, I really appreciate your awesome help with my missing chain/link/spacers.:-D

I didn't realize it was a family business.
I went to school with a Steve Saunders. Neat coincidence.

The business continues to grow - there are 5 full-time and 2-3 part-time employees now - and we've moved and expanded a couple of times in the last 2 years. We currently own a 10,000 sq ft old industrial building - using about 6,000 sq ft of it for office and warehouse space, with the rest needing some serious remediation before we can take advantage of the space.

Steve is my son, and he's worked full-time for Z1 Ent for nearly 3 years.

As you can imaging we don't like shipping items out a second time, so we do package for the parts to survive the journey - but sometimes the post office and UPS conspire to destroy whatever you do...

Cool, looks like I've already got a great lead of parts for the Z-1.......just picked up a 74 model and will be surely needing parts for the resto!
