I needed a part that I could only find at kings or ebay(which is them too probably), and the ebay one had $100 shipping on the $19 part. kings was $15 shipping (to canada). I tried to fab the part once myself and failed.
I was well aware of kings and associates reputation, but wanted the part and decided to take a gamble and order it.
I ordered last saturday, received shipping email with tracking on monday, and received the part on friday (no duty or extra taxes, unexpected bonus).
the order is 2 small parts and 4 screws. 2 x m6 20mm and 2 x m5 65mm. I am missing one of the m5 65mm. I'm pretty sure I can source it locally, I'm going to look today.
perspective is a funny thing. had this been an order with the canadian site I've ordered from I would have been annoyed, because all my dealings with them have been so good and smooth. but because I've read enough bad stuff about kings I felt lucky to receive my order at all, I would have been happy if just the parts and no screws showed up.
if not missing the screw, it would have been a 5 star transaction for sure. the missing piece is very visually obvious in the package, but to err is human and s**t happens. so all in all, I'm happy to have my parts and so quickly.
