To Good To Be True 10/31/2013
« on: October 31, 2013, 05:48:55 PM »
I ordered a few things from marinepartdepot.com and today was the last day of the sale.  Stuff was  really cheep.  After I ordered, I read good and bad review's.  Anyone had any dealings with them?

I really hate to be a sucker.  I hope I am wrong...

Received my parts Monday the 5th.  Everything was there, now they are not the best but we didn't pay for the best.  I would buy from them again and the prices were good.  We will have to see how they hold up...

There are some items where cheap makes no difference I suppose and I am not one to talk having invested $75k (and counting) in a $25 k boat but an old sailor gave me some advice long ago: "buy it once".  Just me but if it's metal made in China it scares me. Fwiw

Stay away from Chinese  shackles!  I am sure the other stuff is crap too.

I've bought some parts from them and they have held up well. I wouldn't bet the boat on any of their shackles either. But I have used their tiny shackles on the tack of my furler- There's not much load there. They're good for interior decorative SS hardware.
