If enough of you guys contact them letting them know you have a potential order of whatever magnitude (my avg purchase is 200 to 300 dollars every few months) and ask for a group discount I think we can sway them our way.

They could be either gaining or loosing a fairly significant amount of business monthly if we act as a group and present a united front in our purchasing. Think about it.

Discounts and special rates on shipping would be even better. Lets work together guys.

How many of you are making buys anytime soon? How many of you have followed suit and asked for a special deal asa Forumm member? What are you waiting for?>>>
I'm looking for a lift kit ( I'm currently shopping new vs used, if anybody's got one for sale), p/s hoses and several other stuff. It's sad because most of the time shipping is totally absurd. On a 25$ order, I was quoted 35$ for shipping to get my order home. It sometimes costs less to order parts from UK.

So get your fingers busy and hit them up. We could even approach Rovers North and pitt them against AB and see who will give Forum Members the best discount.

I have bought a lot of stuff from RN.

I want you guys to realize that if we approach this right we can all gain and so can whichever vendor that is willing to work with.

What are the rest of you waiting for?

I would be more than happy to attempt to broker such a deal if it would help. I don't think it can hurt to ask, especially if enough of you do the same!!!

How about free parts...I could really use some free parts. Other than that, free shipping would be great, especially if the free shipping was for the free parts!

I always liked it when I would get free shipping on orders OVER a certain $$ amount. Then I would tell my wife I had to order more stuff!

I did. I told them that free shipping should be extended to canadian customers. All three largest suppliers (AB, Rovers North and Rovah Farm) are on the east coast and within a 400km radium from where I live, but I don't get why they overcharge shipping.

I am shopping for trans cooler lines, terra firma lift kit, trans filter, oil cooler lines, power steering lines amongst other things not dealer specific. Depending on the discount they could get all my business.

As a FedEx driver I can tell you why international shipping costs more...customs and paper work.
Everyone just plain old charges more to ship international, thats just the way it is.
I understand that you are only 400km's away, but its still another country.

AB is who I got to lower their price on the Amplifier(that's the ignition amplifier...forealz...lol) relocation kit from $399 to $149...so they seem to be reasonable people I am with you though they should offer the forum members a discount of some sort or in the least free shipping. PM will be sent right after this post.
