Rip off?

Hey guys, I was searching the net looking for some parts and came across something interesting. www.thepartsbin.com , www.overnightautoparts.com , www.speedycarparts.com , and www.maximumautoparts.com all look like the same company. Has anyone ever done business with any of these or do you think they are trying to rip me off?

i didn't have time to look at them in depth but a quick look tells me they sell a lot of cheap stuff.Some of the headlight bezels had the manufacturer name "Aftermarket".Be careful when dealing with internet companies.

I agree I would just stay away from them and go with a company that you know someone has done business with.

Okay. I did call them last night. I was looking at their xenon side skirts and they said they were gauranteed to fit and made of urethane. I don't know what to think.

They did have the sides for 115 a side and free shipping. What made me weary is that the guy kept pushing to get me to order.

I guess I will not order them from there.

Sounds like a rip off.

sometimes those rediculiously cheap prices are valid, if the company is considered "warehouse direct". if the company is a "middle man", where they buy the parts from a warehouse then sell them to you, its going to be more expensive. but if the company is "warehouse direct" they work right out of the warehouse and dont have to pay extra expenses like shipping to a store, markup, and other "middle man" markups.

Yea true. The thing that bothers me the most is that all 4 websites are basically the same. Makes me think they are under different alliases trying not to get caught. Has anyone ever done any business with them?

maybe theyre all dealing out of the same factory?

im not saying you SHOULD trust em... just stating some possibilities, not all good deals are too good to be true.
