Just wanted to let everybody know that Bratton's has put a lot of parts out on their website and the prices have dropped. These are all first quality new parts just ones they have too many in inventory.

Thanks for the heads-up....

Bruce of MN · 09-02-2025, 06:20 PM

Naturally, nothing I need for my current project!

Synchro909 · 09-02-2025, 06:43 PM

Pity they refuse to ship to us!

shipping is madness lately! just beginning to revive my truck and every order is another $20 shipped....

I personally do not care for Fed Ex, they have screwed so much stuff up that I ordered I avoid them at all cost

In my opinion they are complete morons. They are 'contract workers' that way Fed Ex can work them cheap with no benefits so the people actually don't give a sh++.

UPS is Teamsters, union guys, they get good pay and benefits and it shows in their work, I have never had a single issue with them they are really good.

I agree 100%. The driver for fed ex that I have throws the packages over our porch rail onto the porch. I could have a glass lamp in the box, and this guy just doesn't give a damn. I've complained several times with no change.

That happened years ago when our government wanted the sender to pay the import duties before shipping.

Why and when they refused is irrelevant. Other vendors can do it, why not Brattons?

I tried to read the laws introduced at the time and couldn't understand it. That is what Brattons also said at the time. Feel free to try yourself.
I put in a complaint to the minister at the time responsible, that businesses were refusing to send here. The response was ... "that should not happen".

I don't know why they didn't. But we have Snyders through Henry's parts, and Brattons through Early Ford Parts, so I'll support the local Aussie retailer and let them deal with the import duties and transport costs.

I have just received an offer from a Forum member to forward any items I want to me using him as an intermediary.
This forum just keeps on giving.

Dodge · 09-03-2025, 11:15 PM

I put three things in my cart and the shipping was 3X's the parts price.
Didn't order.

Thanks for this post, completely lacking any context or relevancy.

Were you ordering lock washers or Mitchell overdrives?

Details make a difference.

As a non related business owner, the cost for preparing products to ship combined with the actual shipping costs are terrible. Sometimes we all forget that someone has to be paid to process, pick, and pack the order. It takes time, and time costs a lot of money these days. We all need to plan our needs better or maybe shop with a club mate to split shipping costs.

ronn · 09-04-2025, 06:03 AM

cleaning out the shelves makes total sense today.

on time ordering keeps cash in the vendors pocket so they can live to see another day.
I am watching the new owners of Coker tires and I think the profits arent what they expected. Coker rarely ran sales.
