scooter parts directly to your hand.

further woes of consumer clunky.

So ok, I tried to order a Vespa repair manual from Autobarn.com. On their website it said the manual usually ships the next business day. That was like a week and a half ago. I just got an email from them today telling me the book is "on order" and "might be available in a week or so."

The two options they gave me were to wait a week (or more) or cancel my order. So I cancelled my order. But there is a pot o' gold at the end of this crapbow

I ended up calling Scooter Parts Direct, a local Georgia scooter parts distributor. They had the book in stock, and I placed my order immediately. Then just like 5 seconds later I got a phone call from Danielle Dañell, she works at Scooter Parts, and lives near my house.

She offered to bring the book to me in person! We're going to meet at The Thinking Man's Tavern on Wednesday for their weekly scooter club meet. Wow, what a better shopping experience.

From now on, I'll buy all my stuff from Scooter Parts Direct.
