Does anyone but RDDecals sell this shape ignition decal?

#1 Post by JonW » Wed Jul 03, 2019 10:11 pm

Ive been looking for this ignition decal which has the cut out as shown - this is different to the normal decals for the 350 and other Yams.

I can only seem to find it on AFE/RDDecals site and to be honest im not impressed that a tiny sticker that isnt exactly cheap at $5.95 would cost an extra $13 to ship either to the USA or to Aus.

When I look at the Canadian and USA post sites a letter with a bit of card in it costs just $3-4 to send to Aus and under a $1 (letters are 70c CONUS) within the USA.

I appreciate a company needs to make a bit, but... $13 shipping on a tiny sticker is a rip off no matter which way you look at it. :smt009

Dont get me wrong I love what Mark and the team at AFE do, Ive bought their decals before, but I wont be paying $18.95 for this sticker...

Norbo doesnt list them but I suspect Imageworks can do them, and I believe thats where his decals come from. Im waiting for them to come back to me but in the meantime... I wondered if anyone had found al alternative supply for these?

Im thinking by the silence (not just from you guys, but also from Imageworks) that its a 'no' then... Im stuck with paying up or using another ignition switch :(

The way I'm reading this is $5.95 for the decal and $7 for shipping to Aus. It is the same cost for Canada. https://rddecals.afegraphics.com/view_p ... ion-R00259

Sadly its not John, they way they seem to work it out is item + postage price + foreign uplift, so when you put it in your cart it comes out as $18.95.

I know it's frustrating. I searched earlier and found cheaper shipping, but more expensive decals, so no real savings.

To show that distance doesn't always matter I just logged in and went through the ordering process for one ignition decal. You can buy one cheaper than I can. My cost, and I am only 100 km from where the decals are made, is $21.41 Cdn. I get to pay $2.46 in tax.

I get around the frustration by ordering more than I need now because I know I will need them later.


1985 RZ500RN AU/CA Ignition Decal No options available! $5.95 1 $5.95
Cart Total: $5.95
Postage & Packaging: $13.00
Sales Tax (13%) CAD$ GST/HST $2.46

I could also possibly ship it within the USA if you found somewhere else that was USA based?

Actually while its close I believe it will cost me more as I think they charge in USD dont they? That makes my US$18.95 bill about Au$27. Luckily no tax to pay on import, but wow thats a lot of money for a sticker the diameter of an Loonie (Canadians will appreciate my use of that sizing I would hope lol).

I did notice that i could save 10% if i paid with bitcoin... lol, how many would do that I wonder...
