Default How many days a dealer can hold parts bought online??

I live outside USA.
i would like to buy some parts for my harley and pick them up in a dealer store.

Does anybody know how many days will they hold my parts after I buy them??

I’m asking because I would like to take advantage of june’s promo, but will be arriving 2 weeks after that.

thanks in advace

You are going to have to call the dealer and ask.

I would think they would hold them for a couple weeks if you pay in advance for the parts. I've taken almost that long to pick up parts I ordered.

The way business is, I'd be very leery of leaving anything pre paid at a dealership too long.

When I bought parts and had it shipped to the dealer they acted like they wanted nothing to do with it .

At my dealer, you have to pay for parts before they will order them, pretty standard.

Makes me wonder, if someone orders items from the MOCO website, and has them shipped to a dealer, if the dealer gets some type of bump.

If you order the parts from the specific dealer they should hold them until you arrive to pick them up.

If you want to order from the MoCo online find a friend that will accept the shipment.

***The MoCo may not ship parts to an address other than the one associated with your credit card***

Why not call the dealer you plan on shipping them to and have them order what you want? That's the right thing to do from the dealer perspective. Let them make some money off it rather than the MoCo taking the retail profit and the retailer just being a warehouse for you.

Hello Ed Ford from Panama.
It can be a hassle here stateside, not any easier outside the U.S.
Like others said; call the dealer but be prepared for b.s. Some dealers are as bad as politicians...
