RE: Rip off?

ive never had a problem ordering parts from various online companies online. carpartswholesale is actually like 3 other stores online all with the same number which says some body parts place. seems rediculous, however i got my cobra fogs from there, personally. the box said Focus SVT lights, however they are the same as the cobra ones. I was happy.

Hmmm...Maybe they could be trusted then. I don't really know. I try not to be a skeptic ever but when it comes to my hard earned money, I try to be careful.

RE: Rip off?

Urethane body kits are really heavy, fyi. And though they won't crack when you hit something, your paint will, and they like to fall off...

That could be an idea. Maybe I will try to order a small part and see if they deliver. I thought urethane was supposed to be the best thing to get. It is more like factory replacement isn't it?

sometimes those rediculiously cheap prices are valid, if the company is considered "warehouse direct". if the company is a "middle man", where they buy the parts from a warehouse then sell them to you, its going to be more expensive. but if the company is "warehouse direct" they work right out of the warehouse and dont have to pay extra expenses like shipping to a store, markup, and other "middle man" markups.

Yea true. The thing that bothers me the most is that all 4 websites are basically the same. Makes me think they are under different alliases trying not to get caught. Has anyone ever done any business with them?

These companies are probably using "drop shipping". You too could hook up with the supplier and use their website or create on of your own and take orders. The actual product is then shipped from the distributer. Thus, the reason for multiple sites that seem to be the same. Its cuz the distributer IS the same...

RE: Rip off?

also, if you're not comfortable with using them - use a VISA credit or check card, because you can always cancel it, and you have the right to dispute any charge within 60 days.. this way you have a route to get your money back... if really have a bad feeling about it leave it alone...
