    my overnighted part from Jaaapan

    Just got back from a walk-thru job I'm gonna be bidding...
    Came back and the secretary said I got a "package" from FedEx.

    Bid documents? No.
    Contract? No.
    Floor Boxes? NO.

    WTF?!

    So I see this on my desk. And see this thing.
    Open it up and I got these new paperweight:





    My importer guy came thru. Got them for a STEAL. Going to remove the bushings and get these suckers Powerdercoated some time this winter. Next order is gonna be 06 RSX-S knuckles. Trying to get a DC5R suspension up front.

    When you order the knuckles brand new from honda... they come with the wheel bearings already in or are they a seperate purchase?

    i was told by a VERY reliable source, that when you do order a knuckle assembly, you do in fact, get new bearings installed in them. along with lower ball joints.

    Retail was 275.00 not including shipping.
    Shipping was an addition flat rate of $35.

    My price was half retail including shipping.
    This is my 6th purchase from the guy (honda,acura, and subaru)... So i've gotten to a point where I just phone him what I'm looking for and a couple hours later I get a phone call saying either he has it or give him two more days to locate something. I don't pay for shipping anymore.

    hahaha.

    Its like everything else in business. My job has taught me that to obtain the "good deals" you have to establish a relationship with vendors. However, once that relationship is established you as a buyer have to back it up... you ask for a part you better pay for a part. This gives you leverage as a customer because when the vendor receives a call from you he can expect 85% he's going to make a sale that same day.

    So i guess what I'm saying is that anyone can establish the same relationship with any vendor.
