Hey everyone, this post is for some people who order parts online for their bikes. I recently purchased a cbr250r and it needed some repairs. So far I've used 3 different websites to order parts from and here are the results.

1) Partzilla - Placed order on July 26, Parts left warehouse on August 1, Received parts on August 9 (7 parts ordered)-USPS
2) HondaPartsPitStop- Placed order on August 8, Parts left warehouse August 13, Pending delivery (9 parts ordered)-USPS
3) BikeBandit- Placed order on August 11, Parts left warehouse August 13, Delivered August 15! (6 parts ordered)-UPS

As you can see, the fasted to process the sale, get the parts and ship them to you is BikeBandit. They charged a flat fee of $29 for shipping (UPS international express). I'm impressed with how fast they got the parts and gave me a tracking number. UPS also provides a scheduled delivery date where as USPS doesn't. I was happy with Partzilla but after using BikeBandit, I think that they are much faster and much better than others. I will update this as soon as I receive my parts from HondaPartsPitStop. I used USPS international express so hopefully thats not too long.

Good info, so far only used ebay for ordering some stuff and takes quite a while but get a fair price

And ya maybe moderator move to review section?

Ok so I received the parts from BikeBandit today! They are so fast. UPS delivered my package today just as scheduled. For those who want to order parts, definitely order it from BikeBandit, they are fast and the shipping charges are worth it since it's express shipping.

No brokerage fees with UPS for your order?

Nope, I didnt pay anything. I think since my order was only $127, they didnt charge me.

You didnt yet, wait later in the mail.

That's not why. It's because BikeBandit included the UPS fee's in your checkout. They charge brokerage fee's for anything over $20.

In my experience UPS charges brokerage at delivery. Fedex sends a letter.

Well the delivery guy didnt charge me anything...hopefully nothing comes in the mail lol. On the other hand, even if they do, I still paid a lot less ordering parts from US. The holder for my left step was $30 online and $121 in Kahuna motorsports. Canadians pay a lot more for parts that are much cheaper to order online from US. Yes there is a wait time but I think BikeBandit was very fast! Heck if the dealer didnt have the part in stock, they would take almost this long too. Only 4 days and I got my parts. 5 stars for BikeBandit!
