I ordered four rotors, the wheel bearings and seals.
WITH shipping it was still $30 cheaper than PP. Even though I never had a big issue with them... the one small issue I had was exaggerated by a few members here. I MAY be on their "whiny customers" list as George called it... But when I feel like I am treated badly... I will say something!!! When I am treated GOOD... I will also say something!!! Whether or not I am on that list is unimportant... Brad treated me great, he was professional and treated me the way i feel a customer should be treated. I DO NOT ALWAYS BELIEVE THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!! THANK YOU BRAD AND GEORGE!!! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I remember that thread, I remember what I said too. Be cautious when throwing complaints in public forums where the seller is a member you might might need him someday.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/splat.gif) Love 'em Hate 'em Either way George has great value in the 914 community.. I have had mistaken invoices and billing but when my car was on Jack Stands, One phone call and I got an answer from him personally that I needed. Grain of Salt.

Am I the only one that never really found PP to be all that cheap? Seems there were generally better deals to be found elsewhere.

PP can be pricy, but if something is more expensive, Tell them. They will tell you "their best price".
However the last time I ordered something from PP was 7 years ago and price compared on about 10 different things. |

I have been buying mostly 911 parts from Pelican for a long time now. I have rarely purchased parts from them based on price. I purchase from them for selection, customer service, a great forum and great follow up AFTER the sale. Now I'm not rich so I do watch my pennies but when it comes to an overall shopping experience they are tough to beat. For 914 parts I'm still jumping around to various suppliers but I always check Pelican. You should shop where you feel comfortable with no anxiety over when or if you will receive your parts.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) w/ Pelican I get what I ordered exactly as I ordered it and receive the order most of the time the next day if they stock it.. I return something no problem.. done! That is all I want..
I hate getting held up a week on a screw around bull whack, GPR is right there too, They can get more than they show alot of times better price or the same, but never higher, I get what I ordered no error in 2-3 days usually.. |

Pelican's site shows you if they have in stock. I consider that a big plus. The other online 914 parts merchants don't have that (last time I checked).

Hey guys, this is my first post here. Thank you Steve for speaking your mind, I am glad that I could be of assistance.
I have been working at AA for almost a year and a half, and I have been working my hardest to make the process as streamlined as I can. There are some difficulties that still need to be ironed out, but we are working non-stop to make the purchasing experience as user friendly and painless as possible. I really enjoy speaking with 914 owners, and Porsche owners in general. I may not have one myself, but I have been working on them for quite a while, so keep the stories and questions coming. If you ever see any part on our site that you think the price is too high, please feel free to call me, and I will either set it right, or inform you why our price is higher (sometimes, other companies sell cheaper branded parts under the same part number). AA will ALWAYS price match if it is financially possible, and I will help you do the research in most cases. For straightforward answers, cheapest prices, and the best customer service at AA, please e-mail or call. Brad@autoatlanta.com or ext. 104. If the mods, or anyone else flags this as spam, please notify me, and I will remove it from the forums immediately! (unlike some other people). Thanks again, and keep those teeners rockin!

Now call Jonathan at GPR & see what youc could have got it for. I'll bet it's cheaper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) EVERY part I've ordered from GPR has been perfect and delivered the next day, and you get a free pair of gloves! Wish it was a tool box magnet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) . AA takes a minimum of 8 days for the west coast i've found. Not totally there fault, it's just the distance in most cases. |

Unfortunately, standard FedEx ground is a 7 day delay to the west coast. We can overnight things, but the cost is usually REALLY high. You would think that in this day and age, we would be able to ship things for relatively inexpensive totals, but anything over standard ground is exorbitant. |

AA takes a minimum of 8 days... Or going on 5 months now, in some cases (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) What part are you waiting on, I will give you the honest truth on where it is, or why it is delayed. I don't even mind answering in open forum. It's part of the changes I am trying to implement here at AA, complete transparency. Just ask, and I will help with anything I can. |
