Kartsparts closing

This popped up in Facebook. Thought I’d post it in case they have anything someone needs:

Times have changed, and we are closing [KARTPARTS.com], 50% off

You can use this discount code on any part 50OFF

I would like to thank everyone for the support over the last few years.

Please allow for an extra day processing (lots of orders, too few staff)

Everything ships from NC.

[www.kartparts.com]

I saw this too but the website doesn’t show discounts or indicate they are closing.

If you apply the code it does cut it in half.

Just an FYI, that’s alot of China stuff.

This is an interesting comment. Do we know the source of many of the parts we use in karting? I think the assumption is, if it comes from an Italian brand it was made in Italy but I am not sure that is the case and I don’t know if there is an accurate way to find out. Regardless the company or business having products made in China dictates the quality. Every Apple iPhone is made in Asia (mosty China) but I think the quality and reliability is excellent, but I have also purchased products made in that same region that are garbage from the first use.

As always…caveat emptor
