Hi SPman,
Spark is a French owned company, so maybe they get preferential treatment? Plus, they possibly get smaller, more regular (weekly/fortnightly) deliveries air freighted from China. To get the best possible freight price I get larger, less-frequent deliveries sea freighted from China. This is why my prices are normally a lot cheaper than my competitors. But the down-side is I only get a new shipment approx every 6 weeks.
Cheers, John
PS : The #62 BMW M1 from Le Mans 1982 (Spark S1586) is due in my next delivery.
