Vendor Reviews & Complaints

SE · 06-01-2011, 04:23 PM

Chris hit the nail on the head with that one. Most vendors, believe it or not, DO NOT stock all of their offered products. Sometimes they get them from third party wholesalers or distribution companies. The perfect example is Volk/Advan wheels. Unless they are importing directly from Japan (99.99% not likely), they are getting Volk/Advan from Mackin. Mackin stocks most Volk wheels that are likely to be sold quickly, but most orders will need to be special ordered from Japan.

I don't know of any company that buys 100 sets of Volk wheels to stock them, because Mackin has the biggest buying/stocking power in the entire US. At most I've seen 5-6 sets, and even then they're getting them from Mackin.
