I just took a chance and ordered from a new parts source. I was having trouble finding the parts I needed all in one place at a decent price and in my search I stumbled on "Chinesemotoparts". They had one of the very best combination of: the items I needed ways to find things pictures of the item and related items prices including shipping costs So late in the day on November 19th I placed an order. I got acknowledgment of the order back by email that day. The order arrived in my mailbox yesterday the 29th. If anything over packed. Everything looks very good. I suspect they are having growing pains for their communication needs improvement but gosh, I really was frustrated by every single other supplier I tried to do business with. Understand, I have absolutely no other connection with these people except this one order. I really feel that every all the parts suppliers I have tried to get parts from, need to watch these people and try to copy them. It looks like they have the means to maintain a very good inventory and to develop a great Internet catalog. Check them out. www.chinesemotoparts.com/ |

I ordered from them Jan 6th......no package yet..they put my FEDEX tag on the wrong box....so once it gets to North Carolina...I have to try to get FEDEX to ship it here.....vice sending it back. FEDEX told me to call the people in North Carolina....have them hold the box...and the get a rep to forward it to me.( I don't have their number FEDEX does...I don't know the people).. Say what?  FEDEX has the ability through their computer system to do that BEFORE it arrives here!!! So most likely it will go back and have to be re shipped. The company...motopartsdealer is very quick with a reply to anything....emailing you back within minutes..... minimum order is 99 bux. But for that price you can really stock up on stuff. 80cc BKK is 29 bux...etc..... |

Yes they have changed. Now they really are only doing "dealer" orders. And they are a bit slow and do not comunicate well. Not sure they speak much english. My first order was with them because they have the baffles that the builder did not put on my scoot.
No performance parts either.
Cheers

Cheers lefty2 All you have to do..to become a dealer with them...is give them a dealer name...My last name is schoolcraft...everybody calls me 'skooly'....so I put my business name as 'skoolys skoots'.....poof! instant dealer account... I have talked them alot and they are going to start selling performance parts as well. But beware if you become a dealer and sell or do repairs...pay the 15 bux to your county for an FEIN... other than that anybody can buy from them...just give them a dealer name... |

Yes, there are hundreds of sites just like them. They sell parts for cheaper than I can bring them over myself for.
I have tried to purchase from many of them in the past. Some of them ship the "part" quickly. It matches the description but is it a part I want to use in a repair or resell? Hmmm, good question.
Cheap parts cheap. Cheap parts even cheaper from companies that magically spring up from nowhere. A warehouse in the U.S. does not mean it's a U.S. company. Where do the profits go?
Yes, I have accounts with all sites named. No, I have not bought anything from them yet nor will I anytime soon (as I posted in an identical thread about 2 months ago).
"Buy Local" has special meaning for me now that I have become a vendor.

I hope the carb worked out for you cavalrychap. If it worked out then you have PFS to thank as I bought it from them to resell. If it didn't, then why haven't I heard a complaint yet? LOL.
