That less then 100 part might actually be the most important part there is to completing your car on time. I had a customer that needed a -16 90 degree fitting that day or he would not be able to race that weekend. So we called everyone that might have one for him and on the last call found a brand new one on the shelf of and old sprint car race shop. He made the race and went all the way to the finals.
I think people ignore these parts because you probably ordered a part they don't stock. So they are looking at the shipping charge that they will get for just one part and the margin is so small on that part they think they have bigger fish to fry. What they don't realize is that if you show your effort in the small things you will be rewarded in the big things. Our website is growing and growing with new parts, but I try not to carry parts that will be come a nightmare to get. Last year I was working with a wiring harness company that wanted to build custom EFI harness's for me with bulk head connectors at a really reasonable price. Well It take forever to get a call back from him. And even longer to get the price. I won't sell a product that I'm going to have to make excuses for the supplier on a regular basis.
Sorry soap box rant over. It's amazing how difficult some people make it for people to spend money with their business. It should be easy and fun to take peoples money in a business transaction. HAHA
