Parts - LA dismantler

My experience with LAPD: I bought a set of MY02 wheels in great shape from them at a very reasonable cost a few years ago. Unfortunately I had a 964 at the time and the offsets didn't work. (In hindsight I wish I had kept them but) I shipped the wheels back, they refunded my money and I ended up getting a different set of wheels through them. Both sets were exactly as advertised and LAPD were good to deal with.

I bought an AC compressor from them on ebay. It arrived with a part broken off one mount. Tried to return it and get a new one but just got the run around. Buyer beware, in person seems the only way to go.

Guys,
I have bought several things from LAPD over the past 5 years, and have always been happy with the service and the parts they provide.
Only last week, they sent me a part, plus a check of $200, because their original estimate for the cost of shipping turned out to be too high.
I for one like that kind of honesty!

This is my second post in the thread. I have only bought 3 things from LAPD
1. TT Tail
2. TT Tail
3. 3 Spoke Steering wheel
The TT Tails were perfect, shipped timely, packaged great, excellent email communication and arrived as described
The 3 spoke steering wheel was as new and I mean no scratches, scuffs or tears. The wheel is in my Rivi Blue cab
The prices were not a deal, but how can you complain when they are in NEW condition. These 3 items were all high dollar stuff and they were flawless. I was worried when I purchased these things because of what others said. I even bought into it on how bad they (LAPD) were, but my experiences were the exact opposite. So good and bad dealings with LAPD are out there, but mine are all good. I would use them again without hesitation. Of course no affiliation.

So how do you rate a good service if all that counts is when the **** hits the fan?? The reality is people don't post when things went flawlessly but only when it went sour and poster just wants to vent off. When I bought my carriers, I had already read the horror stories about them but since they were the only one with the parts in stock, I gave them a shot and wasn't disappointed at all.

I am just talking in general, selling parts, or buying a cheap part is a benefit gain for both parties and people are usually trying to work together to get the deal through. When mistakes were made and needed to be corrected, either buyer or seller have to take a loss and depens on how much the loss is, that is when you find the true color. And then, many cases, people are only honest only when they are being monitored or investing on future gain. You mentioned you had no choice but buying from them and the used carrier, basically a piece metal, I guess was a low priced item? and what could possibly go wrong? . Wioud u have done it if you had another place to buy from or the part was much more expensive? after reading all the complaints from here.
Again, I am talking about any one, seller or buyer, not particular LAPD. Their prices, compared to new from a dealer, always stopped me from even considering.
