no experience with them but Fastcorvette? Total crap for service. Ordered 4 solid spicers and after 4 days of no emails, I emailed them telling them to just cancel the order. The next day, the lady emails me saying, sorry, they were on back order and they had just come into their recieving dock that day. I emailed back and said "good, since they haven't shipped, cancel the order anyway as I had requested the day before. She emails back that evening saying, get this, "had you emailed me earlier I could have stopped the shipment. Your tacking number is X###$#$#$#. If you would like to return them there will be a 20% restocking fee". Then, when they get here, they are greasable what appears to be generic ujoints. Nor solid, like I ordered, yet their going to charge me a restock fee when I cancelled the order before they ever shipped them? And 20% on the cost of 4 solid spicers when they sent 4 $12 parts? They now won't return my emails stating "I expect the full refund amount plus the $7.50 return shipping it cost me" Is this justified? Or typical of them?

If paid by credit card, I would dispute the charge. Since the order was cancelled, it should be their responsibility to have them returned. The credit card companies will generally side with the purchaser as long as there is a reason to.

If the wrong item was shipped, it's their nickel. Insist they pay the shipping charges...and they'll do it.

With regards to Fastcorvette, there have been recent discussions about them here on the forum. Let's just say some folks had issues with the way they do business (I cannot vouch for whether or not it's true). Those posts are gone now, which is a pity...

I had a similar color problem with drop shipped mats from Mid America. I called and they told me how to address the box for return and gave me an RMA #. They paid shipping and sent the correct color. A little work, but no real problem. I would assume Ecklers will help if you call. They've been pretty good by me.

I have a dealer acc. with Eckler's. I have had damaged items come in before and they have been quick to take care of the problem, never over the last 25 or so years had a problem with them. I highly recomend them. They might even help you out if it wasn't their fault on the mix up.
