I dont get it....
Ok so i know the site sponsors are busy n what ever but i dont get how some of them can call themselves a buisness when you ask them about a part and they dont get back to you, or you say hey ill buy that whats your bank details and they dont send them to you?
I wanted to buy some wheels off one of the sponsors a while ago and i had $$ sitting in my bank that i was ready to transfer right then and there, as soon as i said this to the sponsor on msn he immediately stops replying? WTF
Yesterday i sent a pm to a sponsors asking if i could buy something off him and he doesnt reply when i know he has been online today!!!
how can some of you guys (not all) call yourselfs a buisness when you cant even get back to your customers??
Nick will only let a few people be sponsors on here so if you arnt going to do your job then move out of the way and let someone else do it!!
end rant.....
HAHAH I LOVE BOOST LOOSING!!

Not all of the sponsors use PMs or emails all the time. Best to get a contact number if you want to get something sorted out fairly quickly. Thats all I can really suggest, work out what the best method of contact for a sponsor is, and go from there.
There was no need for that.

Jay (buddyparts) is running quite a big business pretty much by himself. I couldn't imagine juggling the amount Jay does in a single day. Cut him some slack, give him a chance to reply to PM's and emails. If all else fails...just give him a call. As for not replying on MSN, he leaves his computer on in the workshop and chances are a customer rocked up or something that was more pressing than MSN.
hes done the above to me before too. nothing against the bloke, but was just a bit bummed when i wanted to swap some cash for some swaybars. he sounds like a busy guy
had same thing with buddyparts (and others), but he came through in the end, havent heard back from adm (yo) yet though..
bought a hatchi from daylesford..
...spiders...everywhere...
i will speak for myself. i dont think anything thats been said has been directed at me really but im sure there are one or 2 people who arent psyced on me for some reason. sonsta this reply isnt directed at you, but youve brought up a topic id like to comment on.
you guys expect too much. fair call it is annoying, if you cant get an answer, but you guys take it too much to heart. it is pretty immature to expect to be able to have whatever you want whenever you want it.
like i care and wanna help, i love hachis and ketos. same can be said for every other sponsor. but i dont really care that much about you or your car. your hachi might be the center of your world. but its not the center of mine, and its selfish to expect me to treat it/you/the situation like it is.
you have to remember as well. sending parts interstate, for a small hobby business is a huge pain in the butt. people expect to pay $10 for postage, when the postage cost $10. sometimes i will quote $20 on a part im pretty sure will cost like $11 or so to send. so what? i get not even $9 for going out of my way. but then people piss and moan about it. or treat you like youre stealing from them. then you wonder why someone might ignore you because they know they can sell it locally.
fair call if these were private sales, where youre not doing this very often. but if you have to do it a lot, you start to notice your time adding up, and you not being paid for it.
just chill. its not meant to be easy to build a cool car. if it were easy, everyone would do it, and then it wouldnt be cool.
thats my slant on it. i seriously dont care if no one else agrees.

First off, you need to stop sippin the hatorade. Acting like msn is a real means to do business is pretty lame. Perhaps their net connection cut out, which mine seems to do all the fucking time.
Get a phone number, make a call its not that hard.
I don't buy into any of this shit about buddyparts either, if you actually had the ability to read posts you'd realise jays a real busy man but still finds the time to do some of the best deals on here.

Internet. Serious business.
money talks bullshit walks, if youve ever felt the pain of selling a car to some young kid thats a fraction of the bullshit these site sponsors deal with.
