just wondering if anyone else here uses " boats.net" to buy OEM parts ??? I have bought some stuff this winter and thought the price was good and shipping real reasonable. shipping only takes a few days. just curious.

The first time I ordered some OEM accessories for my 06 RSTD I checked the local suppliers in the Toronto area and found their prices to be outrageous. So I starting searching web sites south of the border. I found one that had the best price on the items I was after, but after placing the order and heading for the checkout I discovered they wouldn't ship outside the U.S.A. Then I stumbled upon www.boats.net. Although they specialize in boat parts, if you type in and search the OEM part number their database will quote a price (and if it is in stock at Yamaha) they usually received it and ship it out within a week. They had the second lowest prices I found and they shipped via USPS at a reasonable rate. I was ready to order the saddlebag trim rails this week and remembered reading a thread recently on this forum about www.motorsportssupercentre.com having even lower prices than boats.net. I checked them out and sure enough they were twenty dollars less on the rails at $159.00 compared to boats.net at $179.00. I placed the order and headed for the checkout but was shocked to find they would only ship them via UPS International at a whopping cost of $99.50 to Toronto. I even called them on the phone and asked if USPS was an option but was told UPS was the only option for international shipments. I ended up spending twenty bucks more for my parts at boats.net but ended up saving over fifty dollars U.S. by having them shipped via USPS at a cost of twenty-eight and change. Canadian buyers beware!
