Title: The Death of International Bus Parts // The Myth Dispelled // Alive & Well!!
Post by: Slow Rider on June 02, 2009, 09:26:05 AM
In the past couple of days I have come across questions  about the possibility of the demise of IBP. This was both in the chat room and on the board.

Happily it is an unfounded rumor!  I talked to Steve at IBP today and he assured me that even though they, like many others, were experiencing a slow down IBP is alive and kicking!

As a result of this their production time for skins is faster than normal.  Steve asked that I let everyone know they plan on being around a long time and to "Order Early and Order Often" :)

I'm with Kyle - can someone please change the title of this thread - especially for folks who may not read beyond the title? 

The only reason I read beyond the title is that I may need parts - after someone backed into the 4107, to see if I needed to hurry up and order something before they shut their doors.

The reason for the title has to do with human psychology.  We all love to hear good news, but we rush to read possible bad news.......   :)

But if it will sooth ruffled feathers I don't give two hoots what the title is, as long as you understand they are still in business and ready to help you out.

I think that we should support them as much as possible. Steve is a great guy to work with. Not to mention, their prices are much better than "Price kingdom's".

God bless,

John

Went to their site only to find they no longer list GMC parts.  Guess those of us with GMC's are out of luck with them.

Hi Steve,

Don't be a stranger here on the board...  Rich was well liked because he always jumped in on threads to answer questions for folks.

If you could do the same, we would think of your company more often. I always used you guys in the past. "out of sight, out of mind"

Thanks!
Nick-

Nick,

My apologizes to you and the group for not visiting more often. One day I'll probably have my own coach and be on here all the time for the support I see given to others.  Right now we have a Route 66 camper that we don't get to enjoy enough!
