Boobala - As you can see I'm a newbie on the site, but I finally realized my retirement dream and started my own shop last fall. I joined as a way to get information from guys like you and it's already paid off. I checked out those guys with the coconut smelling parts.... They run about 10% higher than my Stens account. My Stens parts come out of their Jacksonville DC and they smell a little like seaweed and diesel fuel. They charge a flat $11.95 shipping for anything less than $150 and it's 3-days. Your coconut guys are $9.95 and 2-days out of Dallas. Do the coconut guys give a better price than the website if you have a Tax ID?
It's Mississippi so everybody has a lawn mower, a chain saw, and an ATV. I've been doing a lot of ATV work and that will only pick up the closer we get to the fall hunting season. There is a place I use about an hour South of me in Philadelphia MS called NHC Distributors, Inc. They carry a ton of ATV and chainsaw parts and have a really good website for running down those parts. With a Tax ID, they also do a decent discount off the website price. Their big plus is I don't have to deal with the local ATV knuckleheads and talk to a kid behind the counter that is younger than the underwear I own and has the faint smell of weed (not the kind you use a string trimmer on). Because they are so close, I get next day delivery, but it's $11.95 for less than $200. Since the local guys do 100% markup, I can most of the time build the shipping into my markup and still be beat their pricing on the same part #. Check them out if you ever need ATV parts
Is there a way on this website that I could sometimes private message you? I sure would like to be able to pick your brain from time to time without boring other members. Thanks for the tip on SJM....
