Can anyone tell me if classicveedub is still in business, please?
I cannot get through to them via email or phone.

Wish I could have run my business like that, would have saved a fortune on a phone line and receptionist.
Oh well, $1,000 of spare parts to be ordered some where else.

Go to Vintage, better parts, better service, better knowledge, and they answer thier phones
landfall ·
Thank you, mattberry, I have emailed them with a list of parts and will await there reply, hopefully.
I can't believe the standard of service so called Older VW businesses consider appropriate.
The only VW specialist here in Hobart doubles the price of everything? Usual excuse, freight chargers, I don't want my parts to come via Qantas business class.

Wassim from Vollks gives better customer service and better prices and easier web site to follow!

Thanks Joe,
Was able to get some parts there, others were out of stock.
They are actually a little dearer than Heritage but the delivery cost to Tasmania is half.
Thanks again.

hi Ken, I'm curious whether just kampers do there free postage deal to Tasmania. Give that a try sometime, might be worth your money and I can't recommend them enough.
landfall ·
Thanks for that, nils.
Yes they do for orders over $250 and they have the items I am looking for.

Wouldn't good business owners monitor forums to see what the general public are saying and
as a result lift there game???.🙅

One would like to think so🤪 but I seriously have my doubts.
I have basically given everybody listed a try at getting some business and the majority are simply not interested in answering emails or are overcharging for the same brands?
Must be a lot of vee dub owners out there is they can get away with this sort of service and still be in business.

Glad I'm not the only one that cant get hold of them. So much for their returns policy...they wont answer the phone or reply to emails...no more business from me

OK, just a quick report.
After numerous emails and phone calls I am happy to report that the following businesses recommended by the members here are as good as they claim
vintageveedub
vollks
just kampers
and cbperformance
vw heritage should also get a mention, but there freight costs are over the top.

Wolfsburg west is great too.
And I can't recommend Das Resto on the Gold Coast enough. Always super super quick service and great knowledge. I've even called up looking to spend thousands, and rather than spin me shit to sell me somehting, he pointed me in the direction to get what suited my needs better.
I've also had great dealings with Leons Motos at Salisbury QLD (although he kept my stock splindle when he set up my beam and drop spindles, I didnt realise til a year later though, so thats on me too, haha), Airkeld from USA are great, as are Justkampers, Vollks and Matt Berry who was kind enough to send through some odds and ends when I needed them.
There are so many great VW suppliers, please dont support the shit ones.

Used in the past and never again. Same story will not answer emails or the phone, waste of time in my opinion. Give the guys at CIP 1 a go. Respond very quickly and parts arrive in super fast time too.Rustbucket68 wrote:Glad I'm not the only one that cant get hold of them.

Maybe because its through Ebay but Classic Vee Dub, or german-autoxtras on Ebay, came through quickly on the bus cover. Ordered Saturday arrived in country SA Wednesday.
Seems to be good quality.
Will do a review in busses once I get to put it on the bus.
Maybe he just likes dealing with computers.

George at Classic is a one man front of house operation hence the website ordering system and busy phone, this is also the reason why his prices are competitive.
He has no problem dealing with people over the counter, but best would be people research their parts before ordering online.

He does operate and have been using him for the past month. Very hard to get a hold of him but he will answer...eventually.

Be patient, I waited 3 months and still didn't receive item, bought elsewhere and saved $1966 type 3 wrote:Great comment Benito have no problems with George he a good man have been getting parts for now my 3rd resto either go to the shop or be very patient and you will receive good parts a very good prices i got stitched up by the other supplier mentioned bitten once never go back cheers and all be happy

Just saw this string about ClassicVeeDub. I wish I had known this before I ordered parts from him as he clearly has not changed. Will not answer phone. Wont respond to queries on his site or e-mails.
What do I do now about the fact he has got my money but does not supply goods ? Unbelievable that someone can advertise in VW Magazine and build a web site but refuse to do business on it. There should be a general warning on his name. Now in situation where I cannot order elsewhere in case the parts arrive out of nowhere and I end up with double parts at double price. Pete
