Automobile Atlanta Has Done it Again, ARRRGGHH Options

I recently (June 23, 2003) purchsed, via Ebay, 2 complete sets of "New European Front Turn Signal Bucket Assemblies with Lenses" from AA for the grand total of $700.00. As of September 1, the
item(s) were not in stock and were "On Back Order" and would be for 2 or 3 more months. When I called to complain, I actually spoke with George who gratiously apologized and refunded my money (less of course the PayPal fee of $27 bucks) and stated that I would be put on a waiting list to be contacted as soon as the item(s) arrived. You might say, "Why are you mad about this?", and the answer would be that this feels really typical of the things I have read about this company before. If you don't have it in stock, don't try to sell it today unless it can be delivered tomorrow. They have all of the parts we want, most of the technical advice we need and are poised to be the absolute best in this biz, but yet they pull crap like this.

Secondarily I WAS in the market for STEEL flares for my 6 project and was going to buy them in Georgia, but I am obviously having second thoughts. Anybody out there have advice on where to buy flares or if AA can actually provide a satisfactory unit in a timely fashion? Specifically if you have bought a set of flares from AA and like or dislike anything about the transaction or product, please post it here.

Regards and Thanks for This List
