I want to purchase some Happ Compittion sticks, but happcontrols.com doesn't accept checks or money orders, and I don't have a credit card.

Are there any sites that sell Happ parts and accepts checks and/or money orders?

you should ALWAYS goto the real bob roberts before going to happs. 

He almost always has better prices, MUCH better customer support and is a good guy.

You could try ponyboy as well as he is a distributor and does take money orders and checks. I know he has SUPERS, he likely has COMPS as well.

I've never had enough patience to order from Bob Roberts, to me having to send money first via snail mail is painful  ::)

(although I'm sure he is a great guy to deal with)

I've had to order most my parts via money orders to hide the cost that I'm putting into this Cab from the wife... ;D

Well, now it seems it isn't.

Is this something that happens often?

I think the guy that maintains his page for him is on vacation.  Most of the time, it's up.

No one is faster than Bob. Don't let the checks and money order policy throw you off. Everytime I have ordered from Bob at the same time as another vendor he beat them by days. He beat ultimarc by 7 days, groovygamegear by 3 days, and 5 different ebay vendors by 2 to 10 days.

Also, I have a feeling whoever writes Bob's html (maybe it is him) doesn't do it for a living. Probably better that it is just simply lists. They might not look pretty, but they are real simple to maintain.

Better get to sending ME a money order for $100, or I'm gonna tell!  ;D

I did the same thing with motorcycle parts. Glad to see I'm not the only skunk lurking about.  :angel:
