Lakeshore refused a paid order and refunded my money.

I tried to order enough parts to cover three services 1 case of SYN3, 4 qts Formula+, 6 oil filters (extra filters to get me over $250 for free shipping), air filter, drain plug and trans dipstick "O" rings.

Here is Bill's reply.

No stocking quantities as per our website and flyers>>> MAX Oil 6 QTs Syn
3 - filters 3
Sorry we have to go by the rules set forth

Invoice No. 34836
Feb 6, 2013 Refund Completed

The website states no stocking quantities but does not state what the limit is.

According to Bill you are not allowed to buy a case of oil anymore or more than three filters per Harley.

This is just to UN-American for me, here a your rationed parts comrade.

 

I don't see a problem with this. They have to do what they have to do make a profit or they go out of business. I order everything from Lakeshore. Good folks IMHO!

 

So?....

 

Find an Advanced Auto parts store near you,and watch for the sale on Mobil1 V-Twin oil.Around here,it sells for $8.99 a quart on sale.

Its a better oil then the Syn 3 Kool Aid,and you can stock up on however much you want.

Problem solved.

 

It costs them too much to eat the freight on fluids....the weight is high and they are covering their asses...

 

Order too much and they think you're a dealer trying to avoid business taxes and fees and such. Lots of discount parts places have similar restrictions.

 

A case of oil shipped free....cmon asking for a bit much IMO. I would of cancelled the order as well. Too much coin to ship.

 

Un-American? Are you nuts?

 

.....

 

They used to ship full cases of oil BUT the MoCo will not allow them anymore to ship quantities of anything anymore because it MAY be going to an indy who will resell it at a profit. That's the MoCo's rules not LakeShores, so cut them a break.
