Equinox Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 is there a reason they wont do paypal or credit car ? Because they can't verify the address with the card. It only applies to Australian credit cards. They have been subject to credit card fraud in the past.

phunky_monkey Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 As above, much safer option for them. You can log on to an XE account and do it via the net. No need to go to a bank. It's quite easy. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/341758-tirerackcom/page/3/#findComment-5551858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a confirmation Email, stating that some bloke named Larry would take care of my order...WHERE THE f**k ARE YOU LARRY? lol. remember they are 12hrs or so behind us. so communication is slower then normal. i got my tyres 2 weeks ago. if you don't get a reply within 24hrs of sending the last email (and its a weekday) send them another email. what information do you have so far?

Gazzilla Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I Have no info so far.. but I gave them everything I need, and requested all details from them to make a wire transfer payment etc.. If I dont hear anything by tommoz, ill call and email again.. Im guessing they have alot of orders to wade through. We should Buy a Container full of tyres and sell them at marked up prices here...

ironpaw Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I take it this is only worth it for high perf tyres? Cos say if I'm looking to run something like KU31's - its about 650 delivered from tirerack - which is the same as delivered from Tempe Tyres?

R377 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Received my Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec 4 tyres shipping to SA $222.

phunky_monkey Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Be clever about it guys. It's only really worth it for tyres that cost over 1k at least here, as otherwise shipping is the killer.
