    eMINIparts is quick and helpful...

    Sent some PM's this morning to confirm a couple things. Placed the order around 10 CST and not only had a tracking number by 11am CST, but a PM as well!

    Thanks, eMINIparts!

    I don't have a problem with that Nathan. I had never even looked at the list of vendors until tonight. It seems I already use several of them, and in the future I'll try to send more business to supporting vendors, all things being equal. A lot of times though, with my fixed income, it will still come down to price.

    I tried to place a substantial order with ECS, twice. I got tired of waiting on hold after 20 minutes. Called back later only to be told I'd be put on hold again. When I mentioned my previous 20 minute hold I was told in a not very nice way that they were busy & I wasn't their only customer. They were right I was not their customer, I became a loyal eMINIparts customer from that day on. eMINI parts help us everyday by supporting this site we all enjoy using. :Thumbsup:

    If you are happy that's cool. No need to consult a list, I just like to promote those that help the site and suit my odd peculiarities.

    Send eMINIParts a PM with your VIN and get you the exact OEM part you need.

    Wow. I guess the next time I suggest a vendor to answer someones question I need to make sure they're on the approved vendors list.
    I suggested them because I bought several parts from them. I used them because they had the best price, they shipped fast, and the service was good. That's usually what I base my recommendations on.

    What do you mean ECS doesn't support "us" as a whole?

    That plastic hinge doesn't handle the cold very well...
