Alexwarehouse, opinions please?

[Carlts]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at making an order from Alexwarehouse found here:

Dirt bike parts|China pit bike parts|Outdoor sporting goods


From what I can see there shipping costs and item prices are pretty reasonable as well as there proposed shipping times. So I was wondering if anyone has bought or dealt with these guys and what feedback they can give.

Regards,
Carlton

look ok for the odd bolt and stuff- plastics might be ok

My bro snapped his hub on his bigfoot so he needs a new wheel so I was thinking these:

I was going to say, $40 for a 28mm OKO didn't sound right!!

Last time i tried to buy from them they took my money $300 then would not respond to emails for over 6 weeks. Finally put a paypay dispute through and they responded with, we dont do small orders only wholesale customers.
This was even after i asked if the items were getting shipped out in the next week and he said yes....

Pay through paypal and you might get your money back if anything goes wrong, but paypal said i was not covered, even though i still got the money back.

that price is correct for the real deal but only if you buy heaps lol..

also just add there msn contact and talk to them on there... will stop a lot of problems..

and if you notice in there item list they have wholesale only items and regular items..

Very sketchy, hit & miss. Pricing is decent, but they have no clue nor concern if it's a pitbike part or an inflate-a-date. Take the dollar, send you part. maybe.

Knockoff OKO? LOL... I know you guys love them, but OKO is a Keihin knockoff. Why would some one fake a fake? China that screwed up???

yeah i know its crazy hey. but i have spoken with oko Taiwan and they assure me they are all knock offs being sold in china...
one good tell tale is under the model sticker at the very top right of the packaging it should say "made in Taiwan".

china/japan is that screwed up lol, take a look at most the early engines in the vehicle market. most of them are knock offs of some other major companies work..

ie: Datsun L series engines are knockoff's of a Mercedes Benz engine from in the 70's.

one good thing about the OKO carb tho, at least you know your buying a knock off carb, most of the genuine keihins on the market in all mini bike online stores are advertised as genuine but there not..

It's a mad, mad, world... I suppose that's why I run Keihin's, straight from Sudco, on just about every thing. A couple extra bucks up front, and a known quantity.

Might have too, but probs won't be the cheapest conversion. Bike only cost 400, so spending anything more than say a 100 wouldn't be worth it.

Be careful !

I have order for $1300 to them and never received anythings. I contacted them, they put my order has shipped and that's it...bye bye money !

 

[sean01]

i check from time to time on the website and it seems it has been down for a bit now..

 

[Dreadful]

Durant tells me they are finnished ...maybe went down in the floods ?... don't know when or if they'll be back but it looks doubtful as they no longer have the domain name ... if ya search it you'll come across a sight selling domain names.
