Without clicking that link - I guess it'll mention Purely Custom on the states. Cheap, fast delivery and good.

That's just what I've been looking for.
Just been on Purely Custom's site, priced up a cap & bolt at about $15 then added postage....... F*€k me.
UPS Worldwide Express $104.04
UPS Worldwide Expedited $95.42
UPS Express Saver $100.14

I think not.

it would appear the superstar website has decided to break as it does quite often

you get an adaptor that screws into the star fangle and you can clip your own beer lid on top!

I ran into the same postage cost issues with Purely Custom and dropped them an email querying the charges. They replied that they were looking into cheaper international alternatives and would let me know when they had something set up. That was a few weeks ago now and I've not heard anything since, but hopefully they will sort it out eventually!

Postage was free both times I used Purely Custom - was a few years ago though.

I've also dropped them a line. No point in having international postage if no one's going to use it. $100 to post a top cap from the USA is ludicrous.

There will be some new stem top-caps coming from Goldtec soon that take the bottle top's too. I'll post some pictures up when I've done them 😀
