Title: Anyone used Discountfleetsupply.com?
Post by: belfert on July 05, 2013, 05:11:56 AM
Has anyone here used Discountfleetsupply.com to order parts?  Any issues?  I get a little concerned when prices are 1/3 less than anyone else for the item I am ordering.  They have been around since 2009 and I couldn't find any bad reviews on them.  At least they didn't register their domain last week and only accept money orders/wire transfers like the scam electronics sites that keep popping up with super low prices.

I don't think I will have any trouble ordering from them.  I was just wondering if anyone here has used them.

I bought headlights for my Harley from them. No issues with the order. Not a complicated transaction but they did what they said they'd do so I'd have no problem ordering again. Hope this helps.

I went ahead and placed the order.  I can always go through my credit card if it doesn't work out, but I suspect it will be just fine.  I wouldn't be surprised if they drop ship a lot of stuff since they would need a heck of a warehouse to hold everything on their website.

A lot of the discount suppliers, such as American RV in Azusa CA that I have bought from, are fulfillment centers only  -  they stock very little, but only order in what's requested and when requested.   Essentially they're just middlemen, but that's not such a bad business model to be  -  very low overhead, and little money tied up in slow-moving stock.
