ebay Seller metzger208/Wreckless Racing
You'll get your parts, but be prepared to w...a...i...t... seller ID is metzger208 and ebay store is Wreckless Racing.
This seller carries a lot of small consumables for lots of bikes - levers, cables, etc. I was excited to be able to buy several items for several of my bikes, and supposedly they combine shipping.
Combined shipping is where the first of the problems started. When I went to pay for three items, not only did ebay's system not combine the shipping, but it was much higher than the totals posted in the auctions. Over $21 for three small items - two cables and a lever. Should have been about $5.50 if combined, about $15 if uncombined according to the amounts listed in the auction. It also wasn't clear if the combined shipping was only for like items, or for anything you buy, and I like to follow the seller's terms, so...
I "request total from seller" and no answer, day after day. In a week's time, I sent FOUR requests, while meanwhile getting the automated request to send payment, still with the outrageously high shipping amount. IOW, NO COMMUNICATION whatsoever.
So finally I decide to enter a seller discount to bring the amount down to the highest amount for one of the items. Then I wait to see if the seller is going to hassle me about it. A WEEK later, I get the automated "your item has been shipped" which doesn't mean the items have actually been shipped, just that the seller entered the shipping info with Paypal.
Four days later, the package arrived, sent Priority Mail from Idaho, so it wasn't likely shipped that day.
The parts are made by Parts Unlimited and appear to be as described, but I haven't tried them out to see if they fit yet. Today I got the automated "please leave feedback" email... I guess they're in a hurry to get yet another neutral... I won the items on April 7th & received them on April 23rd or 24th.
Bottom line - if you're only ordering parts as back-up and are not in a hurry for them, the prices were decent, they carry lots of items for several makes, but you'll have to figure out the combined shipping total by entering a seller discount. Do not expect any communication or responses to anything from them at all. They offer a 7 day MBG but I wouldn't count on it since I don't think they read their mail... ever.
