Sourcing reasonably priced genuine spares & replacement parts for automobiles is becoming increasingly difficult so you can imagine how pleased I was to find that not only do vaux-world.com supply a vast range of OEM spare parts for virtually all GM-based English & European vehicles, but they generally do so at a mere fraction of the prices being charged by most other motor dealerships.

Although I'm an Australian resident, because I drive a European-manufactured GM-based (Opel) vehicle, genuine spare parts are usually quite scarce and invariably very expensive, so discovering that vaux-world.com were able to provide the parts I required at considerably less than local prices was a very pleasant surprise.

I have been dealing with vaux-world.com for over 3 years now (literally saving a small fortune in the process) and they have never been anything other than extremely friendly & courteous and totally professional, and their shipping costs are such that in most cases I actually pay less to import a part from the UK than I do to have one posted to me locally in Australia!

It's not often that I go out of my way to recommend a specific company, but in this particular instance I feel more than justified in doing so as vaux-world.com is a perfect example of the benefits & importance of competent global internet commerce.

This is a brilliant site! Its huge inventory makes looking elsewhere redundant as there is virtually nothing they don't stock (or can't get at short notice). Not only are their prices generally lower than most competitors, their shipping is inclusive in the price so there are no nasty surprises with excessive postage. If I require a book, this is the first (and only) place I need to go.

Ebay has pretty much outlived its usefulness IMO. There are now far too many Chinese sellers invading incorrect categories with counterfeits & fakes, making it increasingly more difficult to find genuine items at reasonable prices.

Even worse, it has become a scammers paradise with dodgy listings, hijacked accounts, refusal of sellers to accept safe payment methods, and probably the greatest annoyance of all - non-paying bidders!

The sell-through rate is now so poor that listing costs & FVFs are taking a larger proportion of profits than ever before, so eBay becomes rich at the expense of its casual sellers, who are making less profit than ever before.

I placed my first ever order with EverBuying just recently and I'm very pleased to say that there were no negatives whatsoever. Their website is extremely well laid out, with all relevant information close at hand, and the range of stock listed is truly impressive.

The 2 items I purchased were priced much lower than anywhere else and shipping costs were included in the price, meaning that the price advertised is all you pay. Delivery time to Australia was most impressive at just 11 days and the items arrived in good condition.

Unfortunately, the C3 cell phone which I purchased was missing its user manual but once I let them know, the issue was resolved almost immediately by Lucy emailing me copies of the relevant documentation. Their communication was excellent and the staff I dealt with were very friendly and helpful.

I was so impressed by their prices & service that I'll be making a specific point of dealing with them again in the very near future.
