Ok so here is the good and bad....
Yes Zombie, I agree that
www.partsforscooter.com always ship on time from
my experience. It's more of a Chinese scooter , 4 stroke generic type place but they do
have some stuff that may come in handy. They have a lot of stock and cover some 2 stroke stuff.
Well worth a look. If they have they will send it !
SPI. My experience has been both good and bad.
I ordered and exhaust ( rs70 ) from them off ebay and it arrived with 2-3 weeks.
I also ordered a Airsal T6 because it was the only place at the time that said it was in stock.
I placed the order on December 12 2013. I bought a house and moved about a month after ordering it
and called to tell them change of address. All good to this point. Then as time went on I emailed , called,
left messages, over and over. Eventually I went on to their facebook page and asked if they were still
in business ( nicely ). They took that post down but I got no reply and still my calls were not returned
( always went to answer machine ). About a week later the T6 arrived - in a box from RACING PLANET !!!!!
Yes I have the info. No I didn't order if from racing planet. In all it took from 12/2/13 til 3/24/14.
That,s about 3 1/2 months according to my math.
Racing Planet. Ordered an arreche carb on 4/23/14. Just received an email yesterday saying it had been shipped.
Well notification of receipt of shipping anyway. So prob get that tomorrow or Wednesday if I'm lucky.
So that will be 28-29 days on an order " available in or European warehouse ".
Also Racing Planet seemed to have helped out SPI with the T6.
Moped Hospital. There is a new owner there named Sean ( Shawn, Shaun ? ) from the UK.
He was very helpful when I called and put me onto the service dept regarding jet size for a super 9
with rs70, T6. He told me that he was wanting to stock back up on parts but the suppliers demand such a high
order quantity that it was cost prohibitive. He didn't say he wouldn't but he was weighing his options.
So that's about it. The solution ? Who knows ?
My suggestion. Combine all of the established suppliers who care and have them all offer the stuff we all want.
Make it so you can
pre-order from any of these suppliers and have a total til order completion displayed
on all of their web sites.
It might be tecnigas rs70 pipe kymco quantity
pre-ordered 65 pcs. Qty to fill order 100 pcs.
That way they can all chip in for the min order, you can buy from who you like and you
have a fair idea of when you will receive your stuff based on how many
pre-orders needed
to complete order.
