PARTS ORDER: Sunset Porsche review

I recently placed an order to Sunset Porsche for various parts. My decision to order from them came after some research, and finding their prices the lowest in most, if not all cases.

It took a few weeks to finalize the order, as I continued to add more and more parts to the initial request. During that time, communication received from their Sales staff was always timely and clear. Overall, I was very impressed with their level of customer service.

Finally, I wrapped up my order, made payment, and had the items shipped. The parts arrived within the expected timeframe, and I was very pleased to find the they were packed exceptionally well.

All parts ordered were received, so accuracy was 100%.

On a scale of 1 to 5, I rate the experience and transaction with Sunset as a 5 out of 5 stars !!!! and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase parts for your Porsche.

Thanks Sunset !!!!

yeah I have used these guys before , they are the ones in Oregon right ?

they are a Porsche dealership I believe so all the parts you gat are OE parts . So even if the price is remotely close to pelican its worth it. I was very please with them . When I ordered they had no online presence so I had to call and ask for the prices of everything , is it still the same ?

I've ordered from Sunset in the past and have yet to have an unpleasant experience.
Ditto for Pelican as I use both depending on my needs.

How did Sunset ship and did they take a credit card? I've used Sonnen Porsche in Mill Valley because they will take a credit card over the phone and ship USPS which has no brokerage fee (nor HST if the order is under $200).

Was it still cheaper to buy through them including duty and exchange compared to local dealer with a PCA discount?

Calling a place in Oregon Suncoast would be pretty funny

Suncoast is in Florida. Sunset (still kinda funny) is in Oregon. I've bought parts from both places. Both very helpful and great pricing.

Yes to credit card.

They shipped UPS. I was ordering some very large parts (side skirts, Cup car lower lips, etc,) so USPS/Canada Post would not have been able to handle it anyway.

How painful was the brokerage fee? That's the part that kills it for me...

I have a pickup point in Niagara Falls so all I pay is the 13% hst It's based on us paid then Converted to Canadian so again because parts are cheaper it works out well
I am only asked to even go on and pay that about 50% of the time.
