u need to ask urself is it worth it to sit an search for the part and ship down or is it easier to pay for the availability locally
Best advice here tr1ad. Sometimes, it isn't sensible to wait for a part to be shipped in.
e.g. A gasket bought online may cost me 50.00 TTD landed,
But here it's 70 TTD. Yuh honestly gonna wait 2 weeks (and stop yuh mechanic for 2 weeks) for 20 dollars?
No
But in other cases, it might be more prudent to do so for other m'tce parts! (e.g. fuel filter down here is circa 300+ TTD, I got mine for 210 shipped in myself).
