Now if something sounds too good to be true it usually is. Got tht out of the way :)
Anyone used this bloke at all? - Autoelecau http://myworld.ebay.com.au/autoelecau/ (http://myworld.ebay.com.au/autoelecau/)
His prices are incredibly cheaper than elsewhere - (~$150-200 on Ctek's for example $279 V $429 another seller on Evilbay). Dont know if its a good thing, but he is in Bairnsdale, and I've contacted him regarding his items. He tells me that his items are from the Genuine Aussie Suppliers.
Me: "What about the warranty setup? Is the Ctek covered by Baintech and DBE180S covered by Piranha factory Aussie warrantys?
EG: if I have issues anywhere will it be an issue to get repaired anywhere under warranty if need be."
Him: "Hi , Correct , there will be no problem as this is genuine Bona Fide stock.
Regards Peter"
So, anyone used him?
-
Yep, got my PROJECTA IC1500 & TEKONSHA P3 PRODIGY from him - no probs
:cheers:

Got my Projecta IC2500 charger and brake controller off them and all good, genuine product and fast delivery. you won't go wrong ;D
Cheers Jacko
-
Got my projecta 2500 from there and also just bought 10m of 6 B&S twincore for $100 including lugs and heatshrink. They have been good so far.
-
Yes Lost... deal with him regularly. Never a problem.
David
-
Yep, used him twice. Picked up once (heading off camping down that way) and delivered once.
Haven't had to test any warranty claims or anything, but very happy with what I got and what I paid for it.
-
Lost,
Bought a few things off him and all good... and always cheaper. (Richo has too)
First thing I bought was a P3 and he told me he'd filled in the warranty form for me. I initially thought 'that sounds a bit suss' but to his credit he just said it was easy for him to do as he does them in bulk but he was happy for me to do it. Just another bit of service he offered.
I bought a uniden UHF I thought was a good price at the Sandown show recently, but I should of trusted my gut instinct... turns out Peter was $20 cheaper. Live and learn... as in 'never check ebay after buying stuff from a shop'
LJ
(In fact I've got him on my 'Saved Sellers' list.)
-
i used him for all of my electrical needs great service fast postage
-
Yep... Purchased a few items from him..... Excellent service and price
-
Yeap, same as above, I have bought several items from him with no issues. Check his feedback rating - 100% with plenty of sales. Usually a good indicator.
Steve
-
yup, used him and will do so again when the need arises
-
Brought my Waeco CF-50 from him. No issues whatsoever.
-
I have purchased from there. All good.
-
He has quite a few fans on the Touareg forum too.
-
I got my P3 off him with no issues and happy to use him again
-
I just bought some 50 am :cheers:p anderson plugs less than half price.
-
Well there ya go then eh!
:) :) :)
-
O.K. the power of positive advertising.
I've favourited the site and just bought some gear........
Probably didn't need it, but with all the great reviews I felt compelled...... :D
Ah the joys of buying gear for the camper.
I'll just go get a beer and my world will be perfect 8)
Brian
-
bought all my 6 B&S off him and controller :cup: he is good.
-
I got a brake controller (plus some other bits and pieces) thru him and all the wiring was 6mm.
-
I've used him, for a two zone fridge therm. the item came quickly, but was faulty. I sent it back, he replaced it and refunded me my postage cost to return it... you cant get much better than that.
-
Purchased a number of items from them with no problems at all. Will happily deal with them again.
-
Same as all the above. Bought from him a few times and always left 100% feedback. Can't beat the price on quality items and always responds to queries about items quickly. Should be more ebay sellers like him 8)
-

there are a lot of quality sellers, (I'm on there as well) unfortunately there is becoming more and more an influx of OS sellers and people still see it as a great way to shift junk items. eBay to their credit have spent a lot of time luring corporate sellers, eBay itself is still rubbish but their arguments were sound enough for me to dedicate a staff member to them.

Would be nice if you could exclude them in a search
-
I'll put my hand up too. I bought a projecta charger from them. It was one of the most professional online transactions I have ever had. I paid for it over the phone. And had the item in 2 days. You can see why retail is in trouble.
-

lost for the most part simply either go for sort by (closest first) hidden in the grey area just above the listings, or even better on the left bar just above the stores section there is a location selector where you can choose Australia only items.

Try it, then come back to me when you can do it excluding them all - you can't - due to most of them bullShitting about their location etc. "Shipping from Australia".
Then go on the ebay forums and they will tell you "thats how people want it". What they mean is thats how Ebay wants it and bend over and accept it.
Searching by state would be handy. No use me searching for an 500kg anvil or <insert other heavy item> in WA. BUt again thats "how people* want it"... *ebay marketing people.
IMWO, ebay was better when it was very very few business' on there.
-
IMWO, ebay was better when it was very very few business' on there.
Lost mate you can't have it both ways..... you want very very few businesses on there - yet you started the thread searching for comments on a business that is selling cheap gear...... ??? ???
-
I just got a battery 120ah it's a cracker. Bought a few bits from him.
Really great gear and arrives next day
-
I didnt say it was perfect, but I will often do both of those search options when looking for heavy gear, main reason is that although it might not get rid of 100% it does get rid of 90% and if I only have to look at 1/10 of the rubbish to get to the gem then I consider that a great way forward:)
-
Well done the deed on 1 thing..
Still confused on the second, and havent got to the third one yet :( :(
So that will wait until next week.
-
Bought an Ampfbian from them, good price and very fast delivery to Adelaide, would certainly recommend them!! :cup:
-
Lost should be asking for a commission with the amount of intrest and probable sales for this thread ;D

wish I did, I'd expect at least 1 freeby :P maybe a Ctek D250S Dual or BCDC1240 would suffice... :)
Got the Piranha Dual Battery setup off him. $75 cheaper than Piranha wanted... ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

You may find their prices cheaper on Ebay than bricks and mortar... that happens regularly with Ebay sellers.

I'll jump on board, two battery chargers and a P3 brake controller, I love him, wife hates him :cheers:
Disco Teddy.

Hehe, my wife hates Ebay as a whole for the same reasons I'm guessing.

My wife made the mistakle of complaining to me about how a courier has mixed up a consignment number, and because she has so many deliveries coming she doesn't know which one it is. Game on baby! 8)
I don't mind at all that she buys stuff online, just means I can too.

I have bought stuff from this seller also. Seams to be ok. Good price fast, postage, the right stuff turns up
-
Hi all,
New here, but have been stalking for a while. I'm in the stages if a camper build and asked this company for quotes and advice. Pretty much is what you see is what you get. Don't ask questions and just pay their price. I will probably use them or the S.A. 4wd shop for parts rather than china. Thank you everyone for your contributions. I'll add some posts in the future on the build.
Regards,
Troy

OK I just had to add my bit. They are a great seller if everything goes OK. If you have a problem with your purchase that's where things start to go a bit off the rails. I purchased a starter motor for my lawnmower and when it turned out to be faulty I was told to take it up with his supplier. I bought the starter off him not his supplier so I voiced my disapproval. The vulgar language he used in his response shocked me. It was a barrage of obscenities. After this I did a bit of research on this company and found this.
http://autoelecau.weebly.com/dont-trust-their-ebay-feedback.html (http://autoelecau.weebly.com/dont-trust-their-ebay-feedback.html)
18 negative feedbacks removed from their feedback in just one month. I'll let you decide if you trust him but for me I would never buy from them again.
-
Mmmmmm that's interesting
-
I have bought about 6 items from him over the last couple of years from a waeco 60 ltr fridge to a UHF & brake controller and other bits & pieces and all positive products tip top had no dramas at all.fast postage great communications.I guess things can't run smoothly for everyone I guess all the time!!!!
-
Have bought 6 or 7 items from Autoelecau and never had an issue. Good prices, good quality and very fast delivery every time. I had to ring once to seek advice on a purchase of a gme uhf cb and the bloke I spoke to was helpful and friendly. Never had a warranty issue, so I can't comment on that side of things.
-
Mmmmmm that's interesting
Yea....
But ive bought heaps off him without issue and will buy more.
Mate works fer a large 4b chain n cant get teh prices autoe sells for...so also uses him regularly.
I dont hold much faith in feedback on fbay, this just reenforces that.
-
It's a percentage game, you will not please everyone. Some people's expectations will always vary. But interesting regarding the responses mentioned for after sales service.
We all want things to go smoothly but sometimes things happen and customer service is below expectations.
I have purchased goods from them and had no problems. Maybe another purchase may see a better ending.

Don't get me wrong, I have bought heaps of him also, but yeah more points out that you can't rely on the feedback thing on eBay, like you say
-
I have used him, all good and prompt.
-
All good with me so far. The last order was missing an item and when I let them know they sent the missing bit straightaway.

I bought a big lot of bits and pieces about a year back to do a dual battery system and extra sockets etc. All arrived promptly and as one of the items didn't automatically trigger "combined postage" (didn't bother me and I paid the full total on checkout) they voluntarily added a couple of extra similar connectors to the value of the postage. Nice touch.
-
Mmmmmm that's interesting
Cheapest projecta prices I could find and delivered to the door within a week... I've used them a few times now and am very happy :cheers:
-
just on how this guy responds to issues; I have used him 6-8 times. once there was an issue, he was more than fair in my view, replaced the item and refunded me postage for the return, which I didnt even ask for.
So for me he's the starting point.
-
Bought my Lightforce HID and a lot cheaper than others. Good service and quick post
-
OK, here's the stupid question you all should get a laugh from.
BUT.
You think I will get evilbay prices if I call him up for an item rather than do the evilbay buying thing and hope I "Win" it or what ever it is that happens.
I am not on evilbay, i tried once long ago when looking to buy a car but I refused to give my credit card details, address etc to get some guys phone number who was selling, and I anit bothered since.
Cheers
Dave
-
Autoelec's sell prices are better than many companies can buy them for...
I love it!
-
Yeah another satisfied customer here. Got the Tekonsha for the work ute a few months back and was real happy with the delivery time. :cup:
-
I've used them too and bought some Narva 225s very prompt delivery and will use them again
-

Just to mention some points - the prices in the Bairnsdale Store are NOT the same cheaper prices on ebay. The gent working at the store was queried on this and said, "two different businesses, the ebay items are cheaper as a lot of stuff comes direct from the supplier to the ebay buyer".
The Bairnsdale store has plenty of stock, but its cheaper online.

interesting... he has 100% feedback as we speak, but has neutral (13) and bad (5) feedback listed. ??? ??? ???
-

What is his total feedback?
If he has, say, between 2,000 and 20,000 total and less than 20 combined neutral and bad it may well round him to 100%.
Bottom line, 'nobody is perfect', and he retired as ARU Captain a few years ago, IIRC.
-
We have brought from them plenty of times, never had a problem, they are the cheapest I can find, delivery is always prompt and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
-
Just ordered a flush mount ciggy socket and twin usb charger in one and a 9ah a battery for my shooting spotlight, great prices.

I have used him a few times with no worries.
Generally cheaper than most.
I just purchased a powa beam HID roof mount spotlight off of him and saved almost $200.
I d recommend him.
:cheers:
-
Used them a few times and most one of the better sellers I have used.
-
Have used him a couple of times Tekonsha P3 Prodigy and a Anderson plug and lead, no problems and quick delivery so will use them again,
cheers Andy

I love it!
Ive had a browse through as well and yes very well priced. Buys bulk maybe?
-
Ive spent some fair coin with them, not a drama. aways fast to post and with regard o having to "win" to get the cheap price most stuff is "buy it now" meaning there is no bidding and no missing out. Only found a few things cheaper elsewhere, usually on "show specials""..
