Okay, I need to vent out regarding a recent purchase of a rear valance from Automotion (Ecklers).
It was cheaper than AA so I ordered one online on the 03/18/13. According to their website it was dropped ship from California. I am in California so I thought it would not take too long. After a week I called Automotion, who told me it usually takes 10 days for oversize items, so I called them again after 10 days, and they said to give a little more time. I called them on the 15th day, and they finally called the vendor and found out that the vendor failed to ship it. I received two calls from managers the next day, who assured me that they had straightened out the vendor and my item is enroute. I should get it by last Saturday no later than Monday. Guess what still no package. I called today, and they checked the vendor and found out again that the item had not ship and they will ship it today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) On a separate matter, I also ordered one of those red heater knobs on the floor to replace my faded one. I returned that because it was colored more like a red grape. My old one looked better. I am not telling you folks not to buy from them, but I will never buy from them again.
