Sorry to dissapoint everyone looking for a Rapid-Edward-type encore. 
Suffice it to say, I got great communication, rapid delivery and awesome prices. Between Chris and Eddy, its amazing any of us has any money left! 
Thanks a bundle guys. I am now done customizing my bird...Probably...
...not.

If only *I* was done customizing...

Can't beat them for genuine triumph accessories. With fast service, free shipping over $40 and lowest prices to begin with it's a no brainer. Get the word out....the better they do the longer they will be around offering the best deal for us.

I purchased quite a lot from them for both the Bonnie and 'Bird. Under the previous ownership, and now with Chris moving up to run the biz, I have never been less than been perfectly satisfied. Having both Eddie and Chris to take care of us is better than we deserve.

Glad to hear about another great supplier just wondering about any experiences by forum members outside the US? Eddy certainly has proven his worth internationally!

Parts in Switzerland are double-price compared to madss, therefore I ordered with them....speedy delivery, excellent quality, very low prices, what more can you ask for? If I will be allowed more money for parts  , I'll order them either at quick Edward's or at madss !

they have a toll free customer service number....just call them. I called them twice last week and both times got ahold of them right away. Not sure about phone calls from canada but shouldn't be much if it's toll free in the states ? can't imagine buying genuine T accessories anywhere else when all other places charge list and shipping. I just ordered pipes friday and they cost me a total of $365. Had i bought anywhere else it would have been $429+ shipping which no doubt would have been $20 minimum, so $450 at least. Or if thru my dealer i'd pay 10% tax or $475. Not a bad savings...$85 to $110 depending on where i got them ! Now i just have to figure out what accessory to buy with the savings.

He shipped it quickly by USPS, no duty, no brokerage fees. He quoted me $30 for shipping an extended cable kit so product with shipping I think it's cheaper to order locally (Blackfoot Motosports). It's probably more worthwhile if you're buying several items in one shipment.
He was good with communication so I'd just call or email again to remind him.

| | Posted : 13 Apr 2011 - 09:13 Post title : Re: Shoutout to...Chris at MADSS (Re: Fordster) | | | I have to admit I can't complain about their service because there is none! I have recently purchased some items from MADSS and am awaiting delivery. I also made an email enquiry via their contact on the web and have not had a reply. I am afraid they have lost me as a customer as they can't be bothered answering simple requests. Over a week for a simple answer is too long.
Maybe they dont want to deal with customers outside of the US of A !!

Of course, there's really no excuse for him taking more than a week to answer a email or voicemail.
I can only speak to my own experiences which have always been very positive with pretty fast responses to my inquiries and orders.

| | Posted : 13 Apr 2011 - 14:11 Post title : Re: Shoutout to...Chris at MADSS (Re: EnGage) | | | I just figure that so far i've gotten what i paid for, took a relatively shot time, and the savings is quite substantial and well worth any trouble concerning communication even if i HAD that issue. I think there are probably issues for him selling outside the USA from the looks of it. Not an excuse, but if thats the case then it's probably not a good place to buy for those of you not here. For those who are it's a gold mine when it comes to T accessories. I likely would not have sold my scratched shorties to get a clean pair if i had to pay whet i would have anywhere else. But at such a big savings it was worth it to me.

His prices are the best, which helps from my point of view as shipping costs can kindof kill things to New Zealand, so every bit helps

But, then again, eddy sends me email when he's on a plane, from his Blackberry.
All I can think (hope) is Chris is an employee.
If only eddy distroed Triumph accessories.
