Has anybody ever ordered here? The prices are remarkably low, but shipping more than makes up for that.
Just wondering about customer service and shipping time.

Most items you must order a dozen or more..there is no one each. Prices are dirt cheap..quality is good..but by the time you pay shipping and their fee for a low order total(if order is under $500.00 they charge ya $50.00 extra PLUS..high shipping rates) so you may as well buy elsewhere. In other words..for small time parts/repair places like me it is a waste of time and money. Big dollar high volume buyers do well there though..  |

See, I knew there was a catch. I have an account now too, almost ordered my part, but had a gut feeling, so I stopped.
They never gave me a quantity limit, but that isnt saying they wouldnt after I placed the order. Plus, they are based in China, so shipping would take forever.
Ohwell, thanks Glen.

Chris The minimum quantity limit shows up when you view the item. i.e. look at engines..BBK's and performance parts..they will say 'minimum quantity is 12' Other parts like cheap low end belts you can get individually. But higher quality belts say minimum is 20 and sometimes 25 each. So yes you can get a Gates belt for 8 bucks..but since ya gotta order 20..that belt is gonna cost ya $160.00..  |

I wasnt arguing, just did not see/find a limit. I do believe you, I have no reasn to doubt your wisdom or expierance. I may have stumbled on a set of cases at a deal, dont want to say too much, for fear of jinxing myself! Thanks, &God Bless Chris |

Stock items they allow you to buy one each. It is the premium or performance stuff that ya need to buy 10-12 or more of each item. But..say ya buy case half..ok that's 19 bucks..then 39 bucks shipping..and because it is under a $500.00 order they add on a 'Low order' fee of 50 bucks on top of that. No arguing here Sir..was just trying to give you a heads up.. |
