Whilst I don't agree with the OP's approach, I do agree on shipping incomplete orders.

No, it isn't. You can walk out of the store without buying anything else.

Say I order a monitor and, because I'm paying for shipping, decide to get a couple of Ethernet cables. I would not be pleased to receive the Ethernet cables (a few dollars maximum), no monitor and pay for delivery.

I would agree...except that keeping things like that up to date, would require a F/T employee.

I like the prices I pay.

We're a small group...

Take care, Murf
Great deflection.

But we're not 8.


Didn't work. Apologize, own it, you never know who you'll need in the future.

All of my gas cap locks but one worked correctly. My solution was to make them all work the same, so now none of my gas cap locks work correctly. I "fixed" them all until they broke

OK.

If you really want to raise the cool factor of your gas cap/ fuel door, pick this little beauty up from FleaBay and retro fit it to your 928.

It's from a WW2 FW189...

Can't speak for you. But when I've ordered stuff from 928intl and not gotten the full order i just waited. In a couple of months the rest of the stuff showed up. They sent it as soon as they got it. Didn't really care about the price cause the items were difficult to get, so don't even remember what they charged. Was just happy as lark I got it.

I guess I should feel very lucky that mine works well.

So, just yesterday I had a little exchange with Tom about a part I had ordered. I was lucky he even had the time to pick up the phone during this sale. After we had hung up I started worrying that I had upset Tom. The worry turned to dread and soon I was wringing my hands over this. You see, one of my goals in life is to never, ever, and I mean never upset Tom, Mark or anybody else at 928 International. I reconnected with Tom via email and he responded right away. Everything was alright, tragedy averted! Wow, I really am sensitive.

We really are lucky to have this top notch business serving our peculiar needs. We are beyond lucky that they run this awesome sale! We are not very lucky that Porsche doesn't really support our cars very well.
