Half Doors from Australia to Germany in Just 5 Days!
I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
I'd been searching for a set of Jeep TJ half doors for a very long time here in Germany and somehow I stumbled across Jeep City Vintage 4x4. Brett was incredibly helpful from the very first message. He answered every question, provided additional photos, carefully checked shipping options and went above and beyond to make sure everything arrived safely.
The doors travelled literally halfway around the world from Australia to Germany and arrived in just five days!!! They were packaged exceptionally well, the mirrors arrived safely and the condition of the doors exceeded my expectations.
This was honestly one of the best buying experiences I've ever had. Great communication, fair pricing, excellent packaging and outstanding customer service throughout the entire process.
Highly recommended. Thank you, Brett - these doors have found a very happy new home on my TJ in Germany!
