    Hi. Want to buy from the PriusChat shop but can only register if I have a USA address. How do international users buy from PriusChat shop?

    What you after? There's a whole load of stuff on ebay for the RHD gen 3 Prius.

    PM Danny and ask if he's able to ship to the UK.

    Hi GC.
    Am after rear bumper protector. They are around £80 in the UK (for the gen3) but only $42 in the prius chat shop.

    Yeah but the same applies to a lot of stuff in the US. Once you've added shipping and customs (they'll add vat!) you're probably not much better off.

    Saying that, I used to order parts for my Cherokee Jeep all the time and saved a packet :D

    So perhaps an international shipping option could be added to the Prius Shop? Maybe just for certain secure countries - UK, Ireland, Oz & certain European countries?

    At $42 it should be under the duty radar so it's the shipping that will make or break it.
    I suppose it is how bulky and heavy it is. The gen2 ones are about £40 in the UK. Would be ok if it was similar for the gen3.
