I ordered my P/C along with Pushrod tubes & Seals and waited and waited and waited. Well I filed a complaint with PayPal and that made them ship the P/C. But they didn't send the Pushrod tubes and seals.

We've been emailing a bit, basically me telling them I wanted my parts and them replying that they were dropshipped. Whatever....

Here's a snippet of the last email that "hopefully" will get the parts to me...

Them
We require our customers to call or give me your phone number. We get 500 emails a day and our staff is dedicated to sales. Problems are handled by phone.

Me
I require my vendors to send me the parts that I paid for over a month ago.
we all have requirements.


He must not have liked that response, but they did call me. He found my # somewhere and called. Maybe being a smartass is a good thing biggrin.gif

not GPR!

German Parts WHOLESALE

GPR is fine biggrin.gif


This company basically sells it cheap because they don't stock ANYTHING! It's all dropshipped, so they have no overhead. You know what they say "You get what you pay for!" well I got no customer service, which is why they were so cheap headbang.gif

I just ordered two parts for my 9 eleben off the bird site.
I was very impressed with the on line ordering process.
I was more impressed that the parts were cheaper than Performance products or Stoddard.

FWIW, unfortunately that is about how most of my last (and I mean last) few Bird orders transpired. No need or desire to rant at this point, but suffice it to say that if you need your parts in a hurry, take care who you order from and be sure you get a ship date commitment at order time. And may god help you if you ever need a return/refund.

Reading between the lines, I'm guessing that having someone you can call to find out about your order, and maybe technical advice if you need it, is worth a few extra dollars? So if you don't mind saying, how much did you spend and save?

Inquiring minds want to know!
