Title: Is there a site that sells Happ parts and accepts checks and money orders?
Post by: iggywhite on January 10, 2005, 05:47:18 am: 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?

Post by: Lilwolf on January 10, 2005, 10:21:10 am: 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.

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)

Post by: iggywhite on January 14, 2005, 11:21:17 am: Well, now it seems it isn't.

Is this something that happens often?

Post by: HaRuMaN on January 14, 2005, 11:44:33 am: I think the guy that maintains his page for him is on vacation. Most of the time, it's up.

Post by: paigeoliver on January 14, 2005, 12:53:37 pm: 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:
