so i placed a small order with then a couple of days ago (just some valve cover gaskets). they arrived today and i am very happy with how fast they were. the total was like 18 bucks i think, anyways i opened the package and was kind of amused at the milky-way bar they included and now i am thinking why? i am now wondering do they put it in there just to add weight to the package? if so why? i will continue to place orders with them and can only hope for a snickers bar next time.
Call and ask. Chris Kelley is a might nice guy and I'm sure he would answer your question(s).

[laugh]
I got a pack of m&m's with mine...
Chris is probably trying to make up for all the CycleCat mints he consumed :D
I got a KitKat last week.
Can't wait to see what I get in this week's package!
That's a nice touch. I REALLY appreciate not only their super-fast turnaround but the fact they don't try to screw you on shipping.

Maybe they just thought you'd like a free candy bar. ;)
cool i love candy bars, just wondering if i was the only one to get it.
I got a Kit-KAt in mine last time, and it even lasted the trip to Australia
nice touch I think. [thumbsup]
Milky Way bars with my last 2 orders. Gotta love Chris and his crew! [thumbsup]

Wow...
are you the fun police?
Probably true in the State of Victoria [laugh].
By the way I forgot to mention I like doing business with true believers (eg Ca-Cycleworks and Brad Black). Better to give your money to fellow nutcases than cold entrepreneurs.
I'm expecting Brad to come up with the snickers bars now. [drool]

gosh i'm a noob.
i pissed cause i didn't get any candy with my order. :'(
chris hates me, i've ordered a bunch of stuff over the last 4-5 years and got shit
i mean, i got my order and i was fine with it and happy even UNTIL I READ THIS GODDAM THREAD
reminds me of the old Gene Berg shop, they would send out ZOTZ with each order. Order an engine case, get a big roll.. order some heads, get a medium roll..
You fools! It's all a plot! Once he fattens you up you'll need to buy suspension components! Evil!
Nestle crunch recipient right here. [bacon]
i think mine was a milky way
and yes, i believe in the suspension change theory.
I bought the entire cycle cat system (forgot name) triple rearsets clipons
because of those damn mints
I miss them
:'(

lol. ditto. Then again I haven't ordered anything recently as I've gone back to being a poor college student for a bit.
Hmm, I just seem to get the wrong parts and run around when I ordered from him...

Strangers have the best candy.
I probably shouldn't teach that to the boy.

Its tax fraud, the piece of candy is actualy worht 50% of your order, he pockets the other 50%

they are still in business?? (googling..)
wow..
yeah, they had great deep sumps, i had a lot of head work done by them and a few custom cranks and full flow oil systems.. i had a 68 van with an engine i built from their stuff, and it was still going strong after 4 owners and 100k miles
Hmmm, I just got my first order ever from them last week, NO CANDY??? Darn :( I was getting excited about getting my box of parts, but then when I read this thread I was looking forward to some free candy.

I call your candy and raise you some stickers... ;)

I was thinking about ordering a bad of candy and hopefully he'll throw in a pair of timing belts or some cool bling parts with the order. You think I'd get a better freebie bonus if I order a bag of "Whatchamacallit" or the bag of "100 Grand" bars?

none, twix is the way to go. it tells them your willing to share.
Wish I could find the write-up/review someone did on the mints back in the day.
"The mints arrived in pristine condition, but I was somewhat concerned with the slight casting mark that ran along their circumference. However, a few touches with some 600 (wet) sandpaper made quick work of the marks and brought out the natural luster of the mints..."

I assure you it is nothing personal! We just started including candy this year and If you didn't get a candy bar in your box of parts it was because we ran out that day. We try not to ever run out, but I personally pack your boxes and can say that it has happened twice. ??? We are working on never letting it happen again! Love you all for supporting us!!

The little prizes inside may be an expanding trend. I just purchased a new Miller welder and it came with two, not one, but two pieces of bubble gum. Now, I can't chew gum and weld at the same time, but I did enjoy my double bubble.

Hahaha! Naw that's not the case. Actually, you CAN hate quickbooks, though. Sh*tastical software tried to put us out of business a few times. Now we're using open source xTuple and Candice can actually GET through the orders every day. This enabled us to invest time in fun things like candy. You, too, can get a care package...

Naw, its all cool, I was just whining a bit. I'll just have to convince the wife to let me order some upgrades!!! Its time to mod . . . Oh wait, I can't, I just spent $500 on new tires to replace the ones that got slashed a week ago. Dang it, more waiting and saving.

Kaveh, please please give us a call when you get the wrong part(s). We are always happy to ship the correct part to you the same day while you prepare to ship the wrong part back. We are so sorry that you feel you aren't getting the best service and we hope to make it up to you next time!
It's confirmed... I do indeed want a duc. I require free candy with purchase of accessories [laugh]
