Default Someone should buy these pascha seats

I thought I had found my set until I looked close and saw the leather is blue.

But they look to be in decent shape, and someone here may want them. They look a little faded, but they still look black/blue rather than green/gray like mine. No bolster wear either.

I was going to say the same thing...can you imagine the shipping charges for that! And I am telling you if they were not bubble wrapped to the nines then you would get them and they would be messed up anyway! I do like them though...

So true... I just received a shipment from Germany, in a sturdy box and with HUGE stickers "FRAGILE" on all sides - and it looked like someone had played soccer with it.

This is not the first time it happens - usually, it's when the shipment comes via DHL versus a small USPS package.

From my first shipment of 951 turn signal lenses, I had to sell a number at a discount because they had cracks or scratches... This time I got lucky - only a few items got caught into each other and subsequently broke. But the bottom line is that there is frequent damage, which is very frustrating.

Avoid DHL, which transports the larger packages sent through the German Post office!

On the other hand, there are shippers who transport stuff via container for cheap. I just don't have any experience with them, yet. Something to look into, though.

Try FedEx Trade Networks. We use them to ship our equipment overseas regularly with no problems.

I dont remember who i used but I have twice bought complete leather interior sets for 4 door saloon BMW's and had no issues with damage. THANKFULLY!

It did take quite awhile and cost a fortune with the shipping itself and with the customs duty and whatever fees need to be paid when you try and pick them up. Real PITA, had to get a customs broker and a bunch of crap.

Those seats don't appear to be worth the effort, sorry. Not even if they were FREE

I think if I were buying these I'd try and get a friend who works for Lufthansa to box them up and bring them on her frequent trips to California.

Bronto,

The only reason i EVER read Pasha seems to be when you mention it. Maybe thats a good thing, you keep Pasha fresh in everyones minds. You do love your Pascha, I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of your posts had something to do with or had some mention of Pascha seats in them.

Still the expense to ship them and the ever weakening dollar make this a tough sell for me.

Maybe someone here appreciates the heads up though, most likely someone in Germany ......

Now, now I believe Paul posted something about Pascha recently. And it's apparent that there are other fans on the forum too.

'bout 5 years ago, I purchased a nice interior (all seats and rear console, rear lower side panels)on E-Bay and got them truck shipped on a pallette from TX to OH for around $200....total cost $600 I believe.
Not quite the same, I know.......

Yeah there is no comparison honestly. The time and cost is probably 5x as high.
