I have been aware of this parts supplier for years but never ordered anything til a few days ago. I ordered a set of mirrors for the retro style 4T scooters on Monday the 11th and they arrived on the 14th in pristine condition via USPS Priority Mail. They are exactly what I ordered. $26 for the pair + $9 shipping= $35 That seems fair to me. I will definitely use them again in the future. Note: I called to ask whether they were coming UPS or USPS and the guy told me only the heavier items ship via UPS. www.partsforchinesescooters.com/asp/gmi/?choice=showCategory&category=2 |

I have used these folks maybe 4-5 times. I tend to get delivery between 1 and 2 weeks for some reason. They have a few things I have a hard job finding elsewhere. Shipping can get pretty unreasonable if you buy multiple items. Not sure if they'd give you a discount on shipping if you called or emailed them when ordereing multiple items though.

Well, there it goes then...They're trying to make a buck like each of us. Can't fault 'em for that but you should receive your merchandise in a reasonable time. I got my mirrors quickly so I think they're a good dealer  |

They're allowed to charge for shipping however they like, I'm just saying to keep that in mind when placing multiple item orders. If you try to order multiple large parts, even light ones that would easily fit in a box together, the shipping will go sky high. They have a right to make money, and we have a right to shop around. ;D One cool thing about them, they are the only American site I know where I can get the long case minarelli transmission gasket. I gotta order one actually. I have none, and I'd like to add these to my gasket collection so others don't have to spend $10 on a little gasket. www.partsforchinesescooters.com/asp/gmi/?choice=showCategory&category=1392&classid=13910 |

partsforchinesescooters is great. Their prices are awesome, and shipping is good if you only need 1 thing. When i place an order, I go to the mailbox 2 days later and my order is always there. They have good customer service as well.
I love that they use USPS, that way I get my parts in the morning. I hate stores that use UPS, It takes longer and I get my parts at 6pm and usually have to wait til the next day to install them.

This is odd. I guess they don't like me? We've got people on both coasts getting parts quickly, and somehow I have to wait a week or 2. :stumped: I probably just pick all the wrong things to order. lol

The guy told me that they go by weight. Heavier stuff ships UPS. They are in Houston so it shouldn't make a difference which coast you live on, it's what you order that makes a difference. I'm sure you could get Priority for any shipment. You just have to call 'em.

I ordered the gasket I mentioned right after I posted about it in this thread. I'll let you know when it arrives. Maybe I chose the right part this time?
EDIT : I looked in T2's thread. I ordered the same gasket from them on Jan 11. I received it Jan 23 that time, 12 days later via USPS.
