Megazip's response to a one star review:
If nothing else, Id say to email them before sending them money, but I feel as if they aren't like a site such as CMSNL that actually has NOS stock in their warehouse; instead as Megazip says above, they list every part in existence, charge you, then check to see if Honda has it.
This questionable business practice isn't just Megazip: I've had the same experience recently trying to get CB1100 parts from Partzilla. One order was nearly $200. Partzilla charged my card, then emailed me a few days later, say my parts were backordered. It took me two emails to get them to check with Honda and tell me Honda says they have no immediate plans to replenish stock--the reality is the parts will never be made again. In other words Partzilla took money and had use of it until I pushed them for more information. If I had not pushed them, they'd still be making use of my money right now while I waited for a backorder that never fills.
This has occured with a few Partzilla orders recently.
I really think this has become a business model for some parts companies: take your money and use it until you cancel the order.
There's one Russian company notorious for this for many years, the name escapes me, but I think other companies are now doing this also. A company doing this with enough orders could actually be viable by taking a lot of customers' money temporarily and investing it while they have it. Looking at it in a certain way, its similar to how banks take your money in a savings account and use it until you withdraw it again.
