How does Mercedesshop do that???
I needed a few small gaskets that didn't come in the headgasket set included with the rebuilt head I am swapping onto my '84 300D. I ordered them yesterday online from Mercedesshop just after noon..... They arrived today via UPS. How do they do that?

The package was shipped from someplace in NJ but the invoice is marked GA and I thought Mercedesshop was in CA??? Seems pretty amazing to me and I am not complaining in any way! Delivery in just over 24hrs of 4 small obscure gaskets that the local dealer would have to order.

Keep up the good work! RT

It's called private enterprise. The Profit Motive works.

Do you have a shop? What is the minimum amount you need to spend in order to maintain the account?
