 Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 6:35 pm Post subject: DiscountKartParts question |
 |
|
Anybody recently ordered from DiscountKartParts.com? They have super price on Mychron so I ordered on 11 March but to date the order still say pending and I can't raise anyone by phone or email. Perhaps the "owner" is off at a race in which case I can understand but my current unit died so I need a replacement. If anyone knows the owner or some reason I can't get a response I would appreciate so I know if I need to look elsewhere. thx

Dan,
You might find it better to work with the suppliers that support where you run. Russell Karting is a big supporter of many karting venues. Altho they may not be the cheapest on the internet, there is always someone there to answer your questions.
I would almost bet they have the mycron stuff on the shelf. At the very least a couple days out.
Sometimes the cheap price is long forgetten in the poor service recieved. Sure at times you can save a few bucks.
But is it worth it?

Why does Aerospace go with the lowest bidder?

Because before you bid, you have to be certified as a vendor. Yes the lowest bidder gets the sale, but Aerospace knows the bids are legit.

With Gov contracts, if the contractor fails to meet the time line for said contract thay will be fined each day for failure to meet said contract.
If B-Stone were to be fined by contractor, I am sure there would more of a concern. |

| Mike, I think we all know what you do for a living, What you drink, What your garage looks like, What color your helmet is, What team you race with, What kart you have, What pit bike you ride (Pink), What flag you fly under, What post # you are at, What,What,What,What. Can we just give you 5000 posts and save us the sarcasm. |

My intent was not to insult anyone.
Only to say, a person might want to look to thier supporting kart shop for the race venue they run. Support them.
Usually you get what you pay for,one way or another.

One thing is for certain, if you don't support your local kart shop one day they will NOT be there to support you when you really need them
