I got my Buzz Overland rock sliders on Monday (a little bit more than 7 weeks delivery time from the UK to Belgium).
Cost was:
- 1675 euro including shipping
- 425 euro Value Added Tax (VAT 21% in Belgium) + some administrative clearance costs =25% more (I hate BREXIT).
- TOTAL: 2100 euro.
- Weight of parcel: 49 kg
- Sent by DHL

As you can see: very well packed!
I had to unpack the sliders to be able to lift them to the back of my house (where my Grenadier is parked). Each slider is about 25 kg.
@Tazzieman would probably lift the whole box with one arm

The box should contain:
- two rock sliders
- two sets of 3 M12 bolts of 3 cm + 3 washers for the middle support
- two sets of 4 M10 bolts of 3 cm, 4 nuts + 4 washers for the rear support
- two sets of 4 M10 bolts of 3 cm for the front side (there are welded bolt on the frame of the Grenadier)
Why different sizes or fixations for the three support, only the Grenadier Engineers know!
But, Buzz Overland forgot one set of M10 bolts, and I warned
@RyanT immediately.

I accept that humans make mistakes, but I have to say that the reaction of
@RyanT was very fast: he immediately (same day) ordered the missing parts in Belgium, hoping that I would get them the next day (Tuesday), but due to late ordering on Monday and administrative problems the package arrived only today (Thursday). So thanks Ryan for solving the problem as fast as you could!
On Tuesday I mounted the step on the passenger side, using the instructions of Ryan, without problems: 70 minutes, only with mechanical tools and arm force:

And today the driver side took me only 50 minutes:

Final result:

The cardboard is part of the packaging of the rock sliders.
Some improvement points for Buzz Overland:
- make a checklist of points to double check before sending (quantity of bags, e-mail address, delivery address, etc.)
- insert the mounting instructions in the box (on paper) - although it is quite straightforward.
But I am really happy with the service, explanation and correction of mistakes!
Thanks
@RyanT
