Hi
I'm ordering alot of bits for my type 3, and would like to know which comapny you guys would go for/ what you've had experience with..
CIP1.com is cheaper.. ALOT cheaper than Jbugs, but i worry that maybe the reason that they're cheaper is becuase its not as good quality..

But Jbugs looks like a nicer company to deal with...

What do you guys think?

I've only ever dealt with CB Performance... they were great..

I have found that CIP1 seem to have a very good selection of the bits I need...

I haven't looked at JBugs yet...

I have found its hard to find just one business in the US that sells all the bits I want...

I had a look at JBugs and they don't sell what I want...

Why is it that I have so much trouble trying to buy from some USA VW parts places with a Mastercard...

One company I was just going to buy from has Pay Pal & Mastercard, but they won't accept either from overseas buyers... but thats what PayPal is for... its in US Currency already...

and Yet others welcome Mastercard etc...

What do others pay with??

VISA

but I have had to send an email with an attached photo of the card (as a jpg) to prove that I have it in my hand. I did try to photocopy the card and fax that but no good.

As for the sites, sorry I've only used Topline and aircooled.net they're both good and will send stuff USPS for us cheap skates that are prepared to wait.

Cheers
Jeremy

thanks Jeremy,
I've been looking for some companies that send by mail..
without success...
I will look at the companies You mentioned.
CB Performance were the best ever.... friendly...
Mastercard...

This Western union $20++ plus Air freight is a rip off...

Many will only send to address on the Mastercard/Visa....

I have used, and recomend these guys,

http://www.wolfsburgwest.com 

http://www.aircooled.net/ 

and on Ebay this guy

http://stores.ebay.com/ISPWEST-VWPARTS_W0QQsspagenameZl2QQtZkm. 

All good guys, easy to deal with and will send stuff how you want it sent, some places only use UPS for freight (CB performance) and it is way too expensive, US postal service works best for me.

Money Order....Always. IT costs me 8 bucks more, but I dont care.....DC au.tomotive For all the porsche parts, But generally its stuff off Ebay.

N!

[size=4]I LOVE the U.S postal service ...
I hate all the couriers etc.... as I hate throwing away good money when I should be able to get the Part within 2 months cheaply...
If its an emergency.. OK... Lee[/size]
