Ordered some small hard-to-find OEM parts from CMS (Consolidated Motor Spares) in the Netherlands. Submitted the order Tues morning and the package was delivered Friday early afternoon! Wow. :clap: The site is easy to navigate and ordering process is straight forward.
My only complaint is the high cost for shipping. The starting flat rate cost is pricy, especially when ordering just a few small parts that will fit in a regular envelope. But I had to bite the bullet and deal with it since the parts I needed from them are not available anywhere else.
For the US: Orders up to €200 is €14.95 shipping and free shipping for €200+

Having ordered from them on occasion, they do a good job for sure!
Agreed! Wish they were in the states is all.
I usually order over 200 worth, it doesn't take much! I have received packages from them quicker than state side vendors.
I love there parts "microfiche". I also located parts that were "sold out" for my FJ. NOT cheep but easy to deal with and as noted above, fast shipping. way faster the USPS.
I suppose the shipping cost is fairly reasonable for an order of €100 to €200, considering it's international. I just couldn't think of anything I needed to add. I already have way too many spares and NOS 'Yamagold'. :whistle: Only needed a couple jets, so I bought all they had in stock.
In a few days I'll probably come up with something else I need that I should have ordered. That's usually the way it happens.
Only used them once. This summer needed a cam chain drive sprocket for an XR100R I was assembling for a friend. They were the only ones that had it. Came quickly, and at a reasonable (considering no longer made or stocked anywhere else) price. Small piece, but no aftermarket replacements. I've used their site to check part numbers and such many times.
