Flossy Shift Knobs on Amazon? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Bowen · 06-22-2016, 09:21 AM

Browsing around Amazon today when I noticed a Flossy Shift Knob listing. When I clicked on it I discovered that Flossy was the seller of the item.

When I clicked on the profile I saw that he's also got listings for all his other types of shift knobs as well!

I know people in the past have had issues with Flossy, but I wonder now if he's on Amazon he'll be able stay organized and ship out orders effectively.

I'm deff thinking of picking one up now that he's going through amazon.

I recently purchased a shift knob (shorty) from Flossy and didn't run into any problems. I will say that I didn't do anything custom to the shift knob and just requested that it have the flossy logo on the side.
Prior to ordering I contacted the site directly and expressed my concerns around responsiveness based on what I've seen on the internet. The person that replied was on top of all of my questions and got the shift knob to me in a little over a week from when I ordered it.

I would recommend the shift knob but I have my fingers crossed that the service has improved for everyone because I've read some horror stories about flossy just like everyone else.

When the time comes, I'll also be ordering through amazon. Hopefully that speeds up the order fulfillments that are notoriously slow.

I'm surprised to hear they'd been grinding gears on orders... Flossy seemed to be a quick shifter when I ordered from them. Never did I think they were knobs. I guess when the going got tough and it was clutch time, they didn't have the ratio's to keep up. Perhaps Amazon will help keep Flossy in gear, their packages shifting, and maintain Flossy's bearings with their customers.

I think most of the problems with wait times revolved around custom engraving requests. With Amazon, I doubt you can ask Flossy to do a custom job.

While this may speed up processing times, there is also the fact that now they're reaching a wider audience with Amazon. So they may experience more orders than they have had before.

Looks like your joke stalled in its tracks.

I enjoyed it but guess puns just don't mesh well with some people.
