I have twice bought car parts on Ebay in the past 4 months which were flown in from Germany - and arrived three days after ordering.
Shell synthetic oil (£19) - and Sachs rear coil spring £35(the Yaris let us down!).In both cases, DHL were the courier, the parts were packed and labelled in Germany - an automated warehouse - flown to the UK and delivered by courier the next day. And on line tracking let you know where it was.
Most impressive.
If we do end up with tariffs after Brexit, it will hit that hard.
PS. The Coil Spring was from Carparts4less - ECP's ebay arm. The Price on ECP's website was £65 - although discounts can be had - versus Ebay's £35.
