Anyone used this company for parts?

I'm doing a very small order, as a test run: but, so far, their communication (in English, from a guy called Stefan... -- even though they're based in Bulgaria) has been excellent; and their prices (even though they don't have a massive range of parts) seem extremely competitive to me (and their postage charges aren't bad, either...).

Too good to be true...? We shall see....

How have they asked you to pay?

You're as paranoid as I am, aren't you...?

PayPal.

Someone in the Sedici section used them for a mirror cover -- although they didn't report back. So far, my Spidey sense is telling me they're legit... -- but we shall see....

PS: I found them searching for a part number from ePER, on Google -- and they were the one of the first people listed in the results.

Wow, those prices do seem good! I've just ordered up a part myself. Nice find and thanks for sharing

Very cheap bumper brackets..worth getting..

Order me an n/s and o/s front wing for the MK1 while your at it...save me the bother..

Well it's always the risk buying from overseas. They want you to pay in advance obviously, but you want to know that once you pay you will get the goods. I don't use Paypal much. Do they support you if you don't get the goods?

I've only ever used them once to solve a problem -- when I had ordered something, many years ago, for a Palm PDA, from Hong Kong, on eBay: and it never arrived....

Issues with this transaction?
You have 45 days from the date of the transaction to open a dispute in the Resolution Centre.

Although it took a while, they sorted it for me. I got a full refund (including postage); and the seller vanished (probably, sadly, to reappear under another name...).

PS: See this linky.

Please let us know how you get on... -- and I shall report back when (not if...) my parcel arrives, too!

Will do. Same as you, I've got the feeling they're legit; fingers crossed...

I would say go with it, via Paypal so that you have got some sort of protection, and don't spend a fortune with them at first. Build up with them. If they are completely genuine they will be as happy to sell to you as you are to buy from them.

Sorry..yeah, I was talking about monetary union. Does that make a differance? Didn't think they had the euro.

I believe it's EU imports don't incur any Customs duty. Imports from outside the EU do, but it's nil duty on items up to £135 anyway.

Not my area of expertise (stop heckling at the back!!

), but you pick up useless information along the way - it's amazing what people ask you..........

pooroldcodger · May 28, 2013

There should be no import duty as Bulgaria is within the EU.
Judging by the website they are selling in Euro, which is understandable.

Just been given a tracking number... -- which works (and independently, through an iOS app; not just on the website they sent me to...)!

Watch this space...! :wave:

They have rear wings for a Y10 which is pretty impressive. The holy grail of sills remains elusive. About your anti-roll advert

These lads http://www.p-tmoore.co.uk/ have or had this Y10 Fila. It was looking much more stripped in March than when the foto was taken late last year but it still had the anti-roll bar and unique tie rods in place. I'm sure they would parcel it all up for you.
