Jbugs.com or CIP1.com?
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...
Lee
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

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.

[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]
