As above really, looking for a new cylinder for an 03 cr125 and lots of other little miscellaneous bits, i've used partzilla and honda east toledo before, anywhere cheaper that ships internationally that you guys can recommend ?
The Shop
Anymore suggestions, both the places i've already used had them for $265 but i felt like i received a bad service so not going to use them again, i know chapparel won't ship oem parts internationally either so that rules them out unfortunately,
Tried them before and they were super helpful right up until i had a problem (brand new cylinder with manufacturing flaw)´ then they were like 'there's nothing wrong with it, if you want it exchanged you pay return postage' ... Safe to say i won't be using them again, luckily ebay sided with me and sorted out the return shipping as they were quite adamant that i should foot the bill for receiving a defective part.. Nice..
I'd rather have the chance of not paying it and having to, as i won't get it any cheaper by paying it up front and losing my chance of paying 25% less.
Rgarding Partzilla, i used them before for a load of old kx bits, after about 10days i asked them if they'd shipped the parcel, they said they were waiting on a few parts and Wouldn't ship until everything was in, i asked them how long the out of stock parts would be, they said they didn't know, they Couldn't find them in the US so it could be anything, one week, one month, a year, take your pick, obviously i needed the bike running, and seeing as they Couldn't tell me how long, if at all, it would take to get the parts in, i told them to just send whst they had, to which i got charged a 20% restocking fee for all the parts they didn't have in stock, and couldn't tell me when they'd get, as a matter of principle i won't use them again.
To be fair, service honda are on par with Partzilla price wise for the oem honda bits i'm looking at, some slightly cheaper, some slightly more expensive, and i don't think i've ever seen partzilla's listed prices for oem stuff beaten,
I've sent service honda a couple of emails but haven't had a reply yet, hopefully they get back to me as there prices are good, and if their service is good i'm sorted and won't need to look around again.
Had good luck with these guys on many orders. Fair pricing and fast shipping. They do ship international.
Check them out!
Edit, same as others really, some things a bit cheaper, some more expensive, i'd recommend checking all three for pricing and getting your favorite supplier to match, thanks for the tip off though, the things that are cheaper would save me an extra $30 off my order.
