PP partners?

Is it just me or is Pelican Parts startin to look like a big profitable business that I should have bought into a year ago?

Wayne, when do you go public? Can I get on the sweetheart stock list?

I used the new link on the PP page to buy parts for my Acura. PP has obviously networked with the right partners. Heres why. The Browser is a standard package that just about everybody uses. For simple stuff it works well. Now for the really good news.

>The price was right. Even with shipping better that walk up retail.
>The clutch cable I purchased arrived with in 48 hours dropped shipped from a supplier in New Jersey.
>OEM part. made in Japan.
>Wayne made a nickle on the deal and it was probably all automated so wayne and crew had to do very little in the transaction.

Wayne, I purchased from the site to keep this board and other Pelican resources up and running. Thanks for the great deal.

Thumbs up order your honda crap here...

Its all about the "Friends and Family" stock options.

I dont qualify for either.

Between books, Wayne was shown some porn sites that had pop up windows advertising other porn sites and thought it was a good idea to implement the changes on the PP site..

Maybe it wasnt Wayne... it could have been Don H.

I actually like the new changes.

Wayne has been doing some smart things. (At least I think it's Wayne. Maybe it's some guy named Bernie and Wayne is just taking the credit.) But, leveraging their arrangement with Worldpac and providing us with a source for parts for our other beaters is one of them. Automated orders, drop-ship delivery and, unless there is a big problem with the product or shipping, guaranteed margins. Incremental business and incremental profits with minimal effort is always more gooder.

I've looked around at the other sites using the Worldpac system and, from what I've seen, it appears that PP has the best pricing. Perhaps Wayne should put up a new site similar to PriceGrabber.com (PartsGrabber.com ??) that would allow you to check the price for an item on all of these sites. Of course, PP would always have the lowest price.

I have found a lot of value from the service and information that Pelican provides. So much so, I can even forgive Wayne for the pop-ups.
