Placing a big order
I am going to be placing a bulk order with Corvette America in PA. All will be interior. Interior package(including taking the seat frames to them for the installation), gauges, usa 6 radio, bezel, so on. Apx. 3000.00. I can drive there to save on shipping, about 2 hours. Any good or bad experiences with them. I spoke to a salesman named Shawn, he seemed to know what he was talking about. Let me know, thanks.

You may want to check about sales tax if you pick them up. Most states require that it is charged on all counter sales. This could cost you more than the shipping unless you are one of us very honest guys that report all of your out of state purchases.

All good news so far. As far as the pick up, I think I am ok ordering on the internet and picking up at the counter. My plan is to pick up everything, and drop off the seat frames, that would give me a couple of weeks to get things installed before the seats are ready.

I Have Bought Several Items From Them. Shipping Was Fast. Order Takers Were Knowledgable. The Upper Dash Pad Fit Perfect But The Lower Drivers Side Was Way Out Of Wack. I Had To To Modify It To Make It Fit.for The Most Part They Were Good.

Said that they would knock 10% off whatever the total is and include shipping the finished seats if I don't get impatient and go to pick them up. This car is a dream come true, and I just want it done to drive every good day available.

Just a fyi I bought all my interior parts from willcox alot less than corvette america and the funny it all came in corvette america boxes. You might want to call them ask for Norm and they give discounts to CF members.

I guess it's all about bulk discounts. Still doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Thanks for the heads up on the CF discount. I've got to say, never doing this, and spending this much for the first time has me being probably more cautious than I should be.

try www.vipcorvettes.com most of my stuff came from corvette ameria or ecklers with at least a 10% discount than ordering direct. if you do talk to them you want to talk to pam. she was very helpful and even came up with ideas that saved me even more money... just a thought.
