BlueLude1 · 03-13-2002, 06:18 PM

Ok I am building a aftermarket parts site an I wanted to know where u guys get parts so I can compare prices an try to give u a better deal. I know all about the groupbuycenter.com but they're inconsistant on what they offer an their dealers get in trouble alot for the prices they post . Also would like to know how often some of u guys buy parts lemme know tryin to build a one stop shop . OH an what matters the most? price,shipping time, how easy the people are to work with ?

Thanks for ur help in advance

IMO the most important thing is a good all-around business which would include good customer service, good prices, fast shipping and people that are easy to talk to. One more thing make sure that your internet site (if you have one) is easy to manuever through, I know if I'm on a site and it takes me ten min. to check out I won't buy from them again! Good luck with your store.

Peace

don't put "call for pricing" on any items. i hate when sites do that. one thing that optauto.com does that i like is that you can calculate shipping charges in your basket before you give them all of your info

Just make everyting easy to use, no pop-ups, no flash stuff, easy scrolling, fair prices with reasonable shipping (cause we all know it doesnt cost 100 bucks to ship a front lip for example.) And make sure you have more Prelude parts than anything else!!!

How about PO.com members get a special promotional code. Like 50% off?
