Off road industry drama

It’s no secret that shocks have a lead time, it seems like everywhere you look there is a disclaimer about the lead time associated with buying shocks
 
Exactly and thats how we sell a lot of shocks. We stock a ton and always have them on order so if we dont have now its usually a much shorter lead time.

When I was building my truck up during Covid, I called PolyPerformance and they were the only ones to have what I needed in stock. Everywhere else was MONTHS out. A lot of the online shops laughed at me when I asked when they thought they would get a set shipped out. The PP rep on the phone even hooked me up with a discount just because. Very pleased with their service and product availability.
 
Yes 2.8 mil in inventory and pallets of fox and king shocks every couple weeks. If we have sold it in the last 6 months we have them on orser if not in stock.

And yeah 2021 we killed it because we stocked stuff nobody else had. I didnt work here then but I bought stuff from them and there was no delays just business as usual.

Now back to the scammers on hand currently. I believe 75% of whats out there on this, every side has a different story, im sure some got legit fucked and others are impatient.

This reminds me of stories I heard about Kellan Meadows 10 yrs ago. Over promise and under/never deliver. I never had a problem with them because I would hand cash when I was handed products.

Sweet. What's the discount code? I need a full King TT shock package.

if nick isnt conveying that up front, that is his own fault though... As a business you need to be upfront to avoid this mess.

Yeah King is always 12 weeks it seems for shocks, so unless they're on order it's gonna take months to get them. Most people don't understand that and have the Amazon, 2 day delivery mentality.

I had a guy buy a set of BD lights for a raptor recently, he got the part numbers mixed up and needed a kit I didn't have in stock, I was amazed he didn't ask for a refund when I told him they would be backordered for 2-3 weeks, I can't fathom taking money from someone and not telling them their stuff won't ship for weeks or months, part of the reason I don't typically backorder 3rd party stuff on my site.
