Default Ute Tub extender

G'day all, looking to purchase a tub extender for my FG XR8 ute, Herrods don't seem to have any left and some joker on fleabay wants to sell me one for $299 plus $162.00 postage to Perth. Umm, sorry, but no. I'm happy with the price, but $162.00, surely there's a scam happening there. So in saying that, is there anywhere else I can buy one of these without being ripped off.

Cheers
Dale

How big is the item? That's a main factor in how much it'll cost to send. (especially if it's from over East)

That ebay price is not too different to the Herrods site price inc. postage

Getting some quotes from couriers, must be cheaper. I bought 4 new tyres for my ute from Sydney and that was a $100 and here in 4 days. While I wouldn't expect this item in 4 days, I think a $100 is more reasonable. I've bought amateur radio antennas that are bigger than all of this for a whole lot less to send too.

These guys are about the $400 for the standard one. Looks better then the crappy ones on ebay as well.

+1 for ready ramp, I have one and the quality is pretty good, fits in there perfectly. When the tailgate is up I turn it around as cargo hold, works better than the plank of wood. Free postage in Oz.
