Thread: Bummin' on Bekkers

  1. #1

    Bummin' on Bekkers

    Three weeks after ordering clear corners to replace my smashed stock driver's side turn signal, Bekkers still has not gotten the part in.

    Everytime I call, Tony says, "Next week." My other favorite response is, "Call us back tomorrow and we'll know when we'll get them in."

    I really don't want to buy the aftermarket lights. I also don't want to buy the stock lights. But I want to get this done. So does anyone know another place where I can get Bosch clear corners?

    Thanks in advance!

    I would too like to know where else we can get Bosch Clear Corners for maybe cheaper than bekkers? 110$ sounds a lot for a pair of corners...

    same with my grill, too. carbon grill was discontinued, and the avant garde is supposedly stuck in customs...

    been almost a month now...

    Well, I've given up on them. It just took too long.

    But FYI, a friend of mine that owns a body shop in Van Nuys said that his parts supplier has informed him that the Bosch OEM clears have been discontinued. Looks like its aftermarket or nothing.

    Now how the hell can a grill get stuck in customs?

    Just called. Grills apparently arrived today and are being unpacked, checked and labelled. I'm told that my grill is going to ship tomorrow.

    many, many reasons.

    Improper manifest/documents for example.

    But in this case, it sounds like the source is the one to blame.

    Post pictures up when you have the grill installed.

    good luck!

    I spent over a month waiting for them to get a set of euro lights for my w201 ordered. Towards the end, I was calling daily, and they kept telling me..."ummmm...I dunno when they will be shipped....possibly this Friday they will be leaving Germany (on a Monday)". I gave up, called capitol west (capitolwest.com) in CA and had a new set at my door one day later w/o any fuss. IMHO and experience, Bekkers is overpriced and equally disorganized.

    Does anyone else sell the avantgarde grills that Bekkers does?

    Or even better, the carbon fiber ones they sold, but which are now apparently discontinued?

    Dont know whats going on here, but I've had nothing but good experiences with Bekkers, and I've been buying stuff from them for almost 6 years.

    Sounds like you guys hit a bad time or something. Possibly dont have items in stock?

    Why dont you call and ask? If they say its in stock then question why so many people at Club202 are still waiting for theirs.

    C'mon you can do some of the footwork yourself.

    Bekkers is bad news

    Well, I called 5 minutes ago and spoke with Tony (not Anthony - different guy). I'm pretty pissed.

    Monday, Anthony told me that the grills had arrived, were in the process of being unpacked as we spoke, and that they would be ready to ship today (Wednesday) at the latest. I've been hearing these kinds of promises since I ordered my new grill back on September 3rd! (Yes, it's Oct. 4th today)

    Now, Tony tells me that the grills did not come in at all. They are supposedly communicating with the shipper to find out where they are. Yeah, right.

    These guys have obviously been feeding me bulls**t for a month now. Meanwhile, they continue to indicate on their site that these items are in stock and available for purchase, roping other suckers like me in. Is this how Bekkers does business?

    Is there anywhere else (reputable - not eBay) where I can buy these grills? I'm looking for a quality product, not inserts, not stickers, not crap.
