Tell him to stick the parts up his arse. Go and get them from the original supplier in the US through a US resident. I had the same issue with an electronic fuel sender. The manufacturer would not ship to me because I was in Australia and refered me to another US company that buy from them. The price I got from them was nearly 3 times what the original manufacturer quoted. But they then said "sorry you will have to go through our Australian agent". So I checked with them and the price was even higher.

In the end I got a friend in our US office to order the part for me and then I gave her the cash.

I can understand paying a bit extra to buy from a local dealer if they have it on the shelf and you can grab it and go but if they are just taking your money and ordering the part on your behalf what's the point? There is no value add in what they do.

Cheers
