Done business with Bike Parts USA lately?
me: longtime HPV/bike driver, do nearly all my own repairs. (I.e., "bike mechanic" only with big-ass air-quotes :-) Recently got new-to-me e-bike, so now need a few new small tools, plus wanna {replace, get a spare for} some tools I already have.
Bike Parts USA:
Hence I'd just [register with, order from] Bike Parts USA, except for some matters of concern:
Hence, I'd like to hear from anyone who has done, or attempted to do, business with Bike Parts USA "recently" (say, Apr 2023 or after). Did your transaction(s) go well, and so I should just get over my quibbles? Or did you enter a burning hell of criminality/incompetence? Or something in between? |
This is a joke, no?

Biggest concern I see is you can’t buy anything from them right now even if you wanted to.
Fwiw, never heard of them |
Very inventive how you obfuscated the URL. So I give you credit for that!
A little too involved though. You might have just done www . bikepartsusa . com Most of us could figure out that we need to remove the spaces. And if the spam filters still balked at that then www dot bikepartsusa dot com As for that place, I wouldn't buy online from a site that doesn't use https. Even if they themselves have good intentions, http leaves their site open for others to do you harm or mischief. Welcome to BF. |

I've never understood new ebike owners.
They buy a lowest priced BSO of an ebike, and go thru great lengths and effort to find the lowest priced ebike parts. Afterall, LBS are evil to rip us all off. Quality cycling experience is an expensive thing. A popular idiom: You get what you pay for. |
Just buy the parts from different vendors instead of all from one.

I've used a company below for small parts that I need and every transaction has been perfect. There was a part I needed that was out of stock but their system allows you to be notified when it is in stock, I got my email, ordered my part, boom, delivered in a couple of days. Is this what you are wanting ?

Never heard of them but like I say every single time, DON'T BUY FROM THEM. If you have a doubt there is nothing that will change that or should change that for you. I wouldn't want to give money towards shady people even if I got another random internet person to say yeah you should buy from them.
In the end buy from your local shop, you may not save that buck but you will have the opportunity for good support and service down the road and you can generally be assured you are a getting a legitimate real product from an authorized seller and they have a physical location you can go to and verify if you want to shop there. If you develop a good relationship it benefits you greatly and helps out your local shop and the local economy which is a good thing. |
