help wanted re northern or surplus centre or others

[chainsawnut]

I have tried a few emails to northern and to surplus centre with no replies the prices in the USA are so much better than I can get here in oz problem is I can not get a reply,I want to spend money but no one wants my business,do these guys ship overseas or am I looking in the wrong place.The main reason for trying these guys and others is hopefully someone will tell me what pump matches what valve etc.I had one reply from an ebayer in the US but he told me he only sold pumps and valves and I would have to find someone to tell me what I needed and also I did not want a chinese pump.The other thing was he would not add the freight and make 1 parcel and the freight price jumped by 20 bucks from 1 email to the next,I lost interest,can any one make some suggestions.Here in oz a chinese made 13 gpm pump starts at 299 and thats the opening bid whereas a haldex in the USA is around 150 even with freight and exchange its got to be better cheers.
I was sent an email link to surplus from a member here but that was another email that did not get answered I will support site sponsors if I can,cheers

I called the Surplus Center and obtained the overseas shipping contact person. Hope this helps.

They also wanted to know your name and email address so they can track the email. I saw you name as Pete, and gave them your location.

I called Northern Tool. They said you would have to set it up with a freight forwarder. They did not ship directly to your area.
