scooter depot- experiences?

[mcallisterdu]

After over a year without exactly knowing the make/model of my generic Chinese GY6 125cc, I found a "Sunny DF150STD" listed on "scooterdepot.us" which looks *exactly* like the body style of my scooter...

www.scooterdepot.us/150cc-eagle-style-motor-scooter-gas-bike-p-748.html

And, they have a full parts catalog specific to this model available online- Since I am only looking for superficial parts (body panel and right switch assembly), I was thinking of ordering some parts from these guys..

However, most of the online reviews for this vendor are very poor.. most people complain of horrible/non-existant customer service, recieving incorrect product, long shipping delays, scam, etc etc. These were a bit worrying, but all the reviews seemed to be related to purchases of new scooters- not OEM part requests..

Does anyone here have any experience ordering parts from www.scooterdepot.us? Is this really a scam, or just possibly the end result of dealing with an overseas business?

I have dealt with scooter depot aka sunny sports, allroad motorsports, sunny power sports, new star marketing group, on 2 separate occasions. Once was with a warranty on a motor for a 250 scooter and the other was with a parts purchase, they knew I was a dealer and I will never deal with them!

That's interesting, thanks for pointing out this link- it looks like out of the 195 complaints filed, 110 of them are listed as "Problems with Product/Service"... it looks like it was good to be cautious here.

On a related note- do you have any recommendations on where I could find parts for "Sunny Powersports" scooters, other than this site?

I have not been able to find *any* site that claims to sell parts from this manufacturer. It is likely that my make/model is a derrivative of the "Wildfire Aventure 2005 WF-150-T" (or WF-125-S?)... but Wildfire Motors indicates they no longer stock parts for that year/model.
