I had another run in with a total stranger today and we started talking Discovery woes and had a good laugh. She said that she has saved hundreds by using Lucky 8. I asked her if she was a member of the forum and she said 'nah.. I have 3 kids, don't have time for that stuff' but I found Lucky8 on line and was really pleased with their service. A local garage wanted to charge me quite a bit for a new 'u-joint' (I smiled because she meant drive-shaft) - we saved hundreds on buying our front and rear 'u-joints' (again substitute drive shafts for u-joint) from them." It was a hilarious conversation because I couldn't fathom u-joints ever costing hundreds but she was cute and it was fun to talk to another Discovery owner.

YES, I have also ordered items from Lucky8 and have felt lucky to know that they are there. Good service.

 

So what is the minimum order amount? is it a dollar amount or certain number of items?
Thanks

 

Never said that.

Like I said call me direct if you want to open account.

You're the only Shop that has asked for special price on a public forum and Ebay. Like I said above give me a call and I will try my best to accomodate you and your needs.
Justin.

 

Nope, he didn't. He didn't even call you a LIAR, either.
He was explaining that 99% of the shops he speaks with he never hears back from. And of that 99% a lot of them don't work on Rovers on any kind of regularity or were lying in the first place.
Assuming you're on the up and up you'd be one of the 1% and therefore he wasn't calling you a liar.
Justin and Erik are stand up guys. They handle warranty issues extremely well and are incredibly active in the offroad enthusiast community.
Email sucks if you want a fast response and using a forum is even worse. Call Justin(like he said multiple times) and see what he has to offer.

 

I've called twice and spoke with them, that's how I initiated this in the first place. The reason why I was asking about them on the forums was because after almost a week I still didn't get a response. Then when I started asking them on eBay they got very defensive saying I don't seem silver as I'm asking other people/shops what their prices are. They have my email, they have my phone number and they have a list of several parts I was looking to order all at once and more in the future I'm sure. All I was asking for was 10-20 minutes of their time to let me know what type of pricing discounts they offer for shops.

 

If you think any reputable shop is going to discuss wholesale pricing on an open forum you are sorely mistaken.

 

So glad you guys expanded. I was wanting to get some glasses with my next Lr accessory. L8 skinny jeans and iron man purse would make it a sweet set up too.

 

I am now at 24 days since I ordered some very simple parts.
They responded to my email four days ago that it will be shipped out that day.
I have not received any response if it has been shipped or not.
I don't understand how they can run a business this way.
