Anyone need anything from West Coast Metric?

« on: December 26, 2012, 02:55:42 PM »
I am placing an after Christmas order for WCM and CIP1. If there are any small, not terribly important stuff that can ship with my order, let me know and we will work something out.

Nick, if you are still placing an order with CIP1 . . .

I need two of these:  http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VWC%2D211%2D945%2D241%2DRK

and one of these:  http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=C16%2D137%2D191%2DLR

The lenses are on sale right now for $23.96 each and the seals are $6.71 a pair.  They qualify for free shipping if your order is $99.  I hate to spend almost $50 on stuff I don't really need to get free shipping, but I also hate to pay $16 bucks for shipping when I could get it free by spending more money.  That's why for the last year, I haven't ordered any.  I've put them in my shopping cart a half dozen times but when I got to the checkout process I kept thinking that if I waited, I'd think of something else I had to have to bump the order over $99 and get free shipping.  In the mean time, I've let Homer sit in the back yard while I paid for a years worth of insurance and a tag 'cause I'm too cheap to spend $16 on shipping . . .  ::)

If you can help me out, let me know and I'll bring you some cash . . . plus the 2 bucks I already owe you for my S-10 headlight bezel (by the way, I installed it . . . it's the best looking part of the truck now!)   8)

Yep, the seal is the same for the big "elephant foot" Beetle tail lights and late bay bus tail lights.  It's just a long piece of round rubber that fits in a groove in the back of the housing.   8)

Ok, I looked it over and couldn't really see anything I needed right now...but if you were a few dollars shy, I'm sure I could have found something!

Order at will.

It seems like every time I want to order something from them, I end up about the shipping cost short of free shipping.  I used to just throw in enough VW logo key blanks to put me over the top.  This last time, I was only about halfway to free shipping, so I would put it off thinking I'd run across something else I needed . . . but since the only air-cooled vehicle I have left insured isn't being driven, I never needed anything else.  Maybe this will FINALLY get me moving towards putting Homer back on the road.   ;D

Yep, free shipping doesn't equal fast shipping.  I think they use the pony mule express for their free shipping.  Slow, but sure . . . and free.  8)  I've put off ordering the lenses for a year . . . and I have good intentions, but I'll probably put off installing them for another year, so I think I can wait a week or two to get my hands on them!   ;D 

Thanks for adding them to your order!  I'll get some money to you a.s.a.p.

I had intended on paying you at the cruise-in . . . oops.   :-[  Let me know when you'll be at home over the weekend and I'll get some money to you.

Got the shipment earlier! I'm excited with all of my new items, BUT there was a little bit of a problem with the tail light housing. Yes, that's right... I said singular. I only received one because I apparently only ordered one. It turns out that when I loaded my shopping cart, I took my time to allow folks to chime in and when I went back, it had cleared it out. So when I added your items, I forgot to bump the quantity up to '2'. So you are only half way there.. but you got the pair of seals!

I'm sure I will make another order before the Ringgold Christmas Parade (2014!)
