Wayne, what a coinky-dink! I just joined Peach Parts this afternoon.

Peach Parts members...I've been a Pelican since 2002, and have to say that Wayne runs a fantastic parts business, as well as a top notch bulletin board. I've been a very satisfied customer and board user.
Nothing to worry about here, only stuff to look forward to.

Love the website! Do you think that the Mercedes aspect of the deal may become as comprehensive and specific as the Porsche listings? Do you Ship to Canada direct? that's the biggest thing for me, is the shipping..

Damn I was kinda hoping to get rid of the site name, it's too peachy for me. Should be like pelican.mercedes.com or something like that.

I miss mercedes shop...

None the less I am excited for this!

Having Mercedes in the name is what got this website in trouble in the first place.

That sounds like good news. Will you be sending items via the slower but so much cheaper ground postal services? The prices couriers such as DH Hell and UPS quote take the piss...

Well, I've been thinking of purchasing a Porsche of some kind... Hmm... this might be just the ticket.

Wilkommen!

Good news. I've enjoyed Pelican Parts tutorials a few times. Of course, this still has to clear Congress, anti-trust laws and all that.

Welcome aboard Wayne and Pelican Parts. I've purchased several parts from you in the past.


So can we have a Pelican Parts sponsored SoCal Mercedes GTG in El Segundo with "best of" prizes (aka free car parts )?

Yes, I would like the Mercedes tech area to be as comprehensive as the Porsche area eventually. We have a E320 we're tearing apart in the back office right now!

We do ship direct to Canada - the best option is USPS, which bypasses all of the ugly UPS and FedEx "brokerage fees".

Just added "Click control-enter to submit" the post on the quick reply. Something we've been using for years - works great!
