TheWilddog Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hey all: Going through a big conversion project and finding it harder to find conversion bits than a few years ago. Seems like a lot of the bits sites have cooled down some since the AOS switch. Just sending a shout out to see what everyone thinks are the best places on the web to pick up bits. Look forward to you thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWilddog Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 No I am in the US but have used UK sites before. I will have to check that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 ebay. Most bit stores sell on there anyways. Usually easy to combine shipping on products and the shipping is usually a couple of bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 US side, I've used Horde o' Bits to ship to the UK without a problem. Bits and Kits in the UK has a great selection but absolutely zero customer servive, all email addresses listed bounce back and they usually take several days to despatch orders. I've only had one order lost in transit out of 40 or so placed, but to resolve it required contacting Paypal directly (even more fun when you don't have a paypal account!)

Makiwara Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hobby Titan has been my secret little weapon for conversions for a long while, easy to use, decent prices and quick to restock. Believe they are based in the US too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I've used bitsbarn (or was ot bitzbarn?) and megabitzshop. The latter one is german. More recently i've used bitsandkits. EBay can also be a big help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyGeekyPersona Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I've used bitsandkits - a good selection, but as said absolutely dire customer service. I wouldn't use them if their range wasn't so comprehensive. I've also used bitzbox - also UK based. A smaller range, and more expensive than bitsandkits, but the only order problem that I've had (out of ~10 orders) was resolved quickly. I hope that helps.

AkumaKaze Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Horde O Bits on ebay is usually my go-to for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true Bitzbox offer fantastic customer service, but sadly their range has diminished since the new site rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
