Same here, parts came very quickly to MD.
Besides, you can still go to Mechanicsville and get your parts from the shop !

I like ZIP. Willcox is closest for me. I can hop in the car and be there in an hour. They're also good for shipping quick.

I usually receive shipments from Zip and Corvette Central within 2 days if I order before noon. Ecklers takes up to 7 days from FL as they ship UPS and Corvette America is 1 day if they ship FedEx Ground. I have been to the CA retail center in PA as it's on the way to PSU, but haven't been to the other vendor stores yet.

Order received in NJ within two days even on a holiday weekend. Zip is A+ in my book!

I've switched from Corvette Central to ZIP, because Zip is always faster. Also better at telling if an item is on back order BEFORE you order it.

I recommend ZIP Corvette Parts! I live in Louisiana and get whatever I order in two days. They have GREAT service and I especially like dealing with Tom in the sales dept...he's been extremely helpful.

I just placed an order with ZIP and each time I can only select ground shipping. If I need it sooner I call them. Great service and good prices.

I made an order a few weeks ago now. Received everything within a week however the new oil gauge I received was messed up (dial spun all-the-way around). Talked to Tom on the phone and had it resolved no questions asked. Had a return shipping label email that day and the new oil gauge was shipped the next. Great service; thanks guys.

Tom,
Curious about something. Do you pay someone to scan the forums for customer issues? If so, I would like to be that guy.

Or........do Vendors have some sort of cue when you're being talked about? I've always wondered. Seems that if there is any sort of problem or kudo's, that vendor chimes right in (which is a good thing by the way).

@Hooah,

The cat is out of the bag. Between calls, and when I have 'a moment' I will look through the forum for people with parts issues, complaints, or just questions I can help with. I am also looking for your opinions on products, what is popular, and where we can do better.

I am alerted when 'Zip' is used in the forum, however this also applies to 'zip code, zip tie, add some zip...' which can be pretty funny some days. I'm sure other vendors do this as well, if they are smart.

I'm happy to do it, and glad to be a small part of the Corvette community.

Tom
