mail order parts
Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts? I ordered four
oil filters and a bulb from Majestic Honda for a total of $20.82. Then they charged me $4.95 for handling and $8.22 for freight. I thought this was pretty outrageous! I called Hparts recently and they didn't answer the phone. |

www.cheapesthondaparts.com is also a good place with which I have done
business. Majestic Honda, on the other hand, rarely answered back to my inquiries, wasn't the best price, and didn't leave me with the greatest impression. -- KWW "rdel" > wrote in message ... > Go to http://www.hondacuraworld.com/ Tim is very helpful.

I called the parts department at my local Honda dealer and they are
willing to match any price I find on the internet.. Call or e-mail the parts manager at your dealer, they still make a good profit at internet prices. I pay the tax but save on the shipping.. I use the following internet sites for pricing information. Almost everything is negotiable these days.. http://www.handa-accessories.com/ http://www.cheaphondaparts.com/ http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ http://www.fairhondapartsforyou.com/ Ed Overly wrote: > Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts?

Two years ago I ordered a timing belt and balance belt for my Honda from
Majestic. It took me several months to get around to changing the belts myself. When I finally got everything apart I found they sent me the wrong size belts so I had to immediately go to the local Honda dealer and pay full price since my car was apart and I needed it the next day for work. I think that their shipping charge on top of freight is ridiculous and don't plan on buying from them again. "Ed Overly" > wrote in message m... > Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts?

Here's my overall good experience with Majestic:
I ordered $101 of parts from it. Handling was $4.95, like others said. Shipping was $7.95. They do ship UPS 3-day. Even with the roughly extra 13% for S/H, the overall price was much less than I could get from the dealer. The parts arrived about when I expected. (Of course, shipping does not depend on mere dollar cost. It will vary depending on package size.) I might have been able to do better with another online parts company. But I think only a little better. Plus, having the drawings at the Majestic site has been invaluable to me over the last couple of years. So I'm happy paying maybe a little more than other online parts sites to ensure Majestic stays in business. I've emailed two different parts questions to Majestic in the last year. Its people got back to me by email within 24 hours with the correct answer. I made one other order but then a few days later I decided I didn't need the parts afterall. A holiday had intervened since I'd made the order, and the particular parts weren't in stock, anyway, so I called Majestic and asked if the parts had been shipped yet. They had not. I asked if I could cancel the order, and Majestic had absolutely no objection with my doing so. I think the key with Majestic is to only order large quantities at a time. Thanks to others for sharing their experiences. It will make me a little more cautious with Majestic, but I would not rule it out in the future. Ed, did you request any unusual shipping? I'm in the West. Majestic is in Rhode Island, I believe. But I do figure your package was a little larger in physical size to mine, thus the freight charge was a little larger.

Majestic is about two miles from where I used to live. The are in West
Warwick and I lived in Coventry to the west. My experience with Majestic is satisfactory customer service but rather pricey for parts. It pays to shop around judiciously.

Since then, I buy from www.fairhondapartsforyou.com and the shipping charges are 3.95 for every order, no handling fee, and they have very good prices. I am very happy with their service. |
