Default Hello; VBP ?

Looking to spend a few bucks, but obviously having an over-fifty moment!

Is VBP not an active vendor? If not, did I miss the memo? If I am overlooking something; even if it's obvious, help me out! How do I find them on the forum.



Thanks,

Dan

I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it.

IMHO things at VBP just haven't been the same since Pattie left.

I just ordered a pair of their tubular control arms for $311.99. I called VBP and asked the sales guy a couple of questions and he answered every one of my questions. Seemed like a real nice guy. I just hope they don't forget to add the discount.

Just cause I'm over fifty, I've got natural gas issues?

Just buying and stocking parts so I don't have to buy all at once.



So I go to VBP profile and don't like what I see. They're on hold?

On to their website.

Their website is OK. However; they are no longer listed under the forum supporting vendors.
I didn't know they pulled out. Did they?

Like someone mentioned they do have a sticky thread on the C3 Tech page. Link.

But it also says under their user name something about Collection Hold or something like that. Hmmm......

I went over there before Christmas and got some stuff. Looked like they were doing fine and conducting business as usual. Very helpful, as they always have been to me.

I have not heard any negative comments on the business or their product. All comments I see are positive.

This thread question isn't so much about the status of VBP, it's really a question as to whether or not they are still on-board with the forum as Supporting Vendors.
