Promo code for Parts Outlaw?

[Deuce]

Thats funny. TOO many people were using it so they had to cancel it. It would be better if just a couple of people were using it? TOO many people indicates more sales, more happy customers but apparently not anymore. These companies don't understand the full weight behind these forums and everybody funneling business to them. Whatever.

You'd think that would be the case. Shipping varies by weight, and I can't see paying $10 shipping for something that would fit in an envelope.

Ann Arbor's not that small. You don't have a decent local shop?

We have exactly one motorcycle dealer in Ann Arbor, and they don't carry Suzuki. And even if they did, I wouldn't deal with them; they're a dealership in the worst sense of the word. I once asked one of their mechanics if they could work on my '81 Honda CB900 Custom; his reply: "I've worked on a couple 'o them things. Ain't never had much luck with 'em". Not the kind of people I want to give my money to.

Fair enough. If you ain't got it, you can't make use of it.

I dread the day our local guy decides to end/sell/give up on the business.

Derrick, we also have Daytona Motorcycles who opened up a new store on East Cordova St., so no worries even now that Modern has lost their Suzuki Dealership License.

They are very knowledgeable and good to deal with, as they were a Suzuki Dealer many moons ago.

When I buy from partsoutlaw, I spend more than $10. The least amount I've spent was between $30-$40.

I seriously couldn't spend $4 and expect shipping to be the same as what I paid. But that's just me.

We ought to send multiple emails requesting a shipping free promo code for the GSR community. Tell them that we buy almost exclusively from them and if they would like to keep our business, please provide an incentive for us to remain with them. I origionally went with them because I could drive up there if I had an issue, but there are other places like Babbits, Hondaparts, Bikebandit......... that may be willing to accommodate such a large group. http://www.partsoutlaw.com/contactus

Maybe someone here that is good at being tactful, can write a form letter we can copy and paste to send them, so they may find out the potential loss of business by the volume they receive.

The $1.99 shipping was great, but I don't really mind paying $9.99 to have my package shipped 3000 miles. The nearest Suzuki shop is at least 80 miles away. It's not practical to buy parts from them.

I sent a message.

I sent a message.

Is is worthy of a copy and paste for the rest of us? If you think it is post it. Or start a new thread, "Message to Partsoutlaw", that way people will know what to do. If it works or doesn't we might try with some other outlets we frequent. I think free shipping from anywhere is incentive for us cheapskates to consider.

I used the link above to contact them so can't see the message I sent.

I basically wrote the following.

Please bring back the shipping promo code for GSR members.

My name is David and I go by Kiwi Canuck on GS Resources forum.

I have been a customer of parts Outlaw for about 5 years, I found out about Boulevard Suzuki, now Parts Outlaw from the GSR forum.

I now pass the name onto all new members and let them know that Parts Outlaw is one of the preferred suppliers for Suzuki parts.

Part of the reason I have been so loyal is the low shipping costs and it's great when I have forgotten a few small pieces after placing a large order, i have no hesitation in placing another order.

Please consider bringing the promo back as we are a bunch of cheap skates with plenty of money to spend and we want to spend it at Parts Outlaw.

Regards,

David.

That's pretty good and if they notice your located out of the country, maybe they may realize how much name dropping goes on here.

To whom it may concern. I am a member(GSRICK) of The GSResources, GSR for short. If you don't already know it is a motorcycle forum for people that restore, repair and customize Suzuki GS models from 1977 to 1985. thegsresources.com
Here are some interesting stats.

We are a dedicated group of motorcyclists from all over the world. At almost a million posts and nearly 84 thousand threads, you can see how active this forum is. This is not even counting those that are simply reading the threads and do not become members. Think of the exposure your company is receiving.


I personally have been getting parts from you, since back when it was Boulevard Suzuki and Ashley was taking orders. Sadly we have recently discovered that you are not honoring the BANG promo code for free or greatly reduced shipping. Your business is very important to us and your name is dropped as the place to contact, to every one looking for new parts . I understand that you may lose a little by providing very low or free shipping, but if you take into account the amount of shoppers you have access to through our forum, I think the volume of business would be well worth some consideration of reinstating or creating a new promo code such as GSR for our members to use.


I am a local and have really appreciated you and I hope you will appreciate us again in return. Thanks Rick.

Tracking. I'm curious to see if this goes anywhere...

[BadMonk]

Same here. I've been buying lots of parts from P O when the code went away. I emailed to ask about the code and the woman who wrote back said they were going to change the code. A week later I wrote again and she said no more code because too many people got their hands on it. Was it supposed to be a secret code at one time??

[gsrick]

Not even a return reply. Now they even lost a locals business.
