Default Don't make my same mistake.

I finally received the remainder of my order from Florida Caliper after a 3 month waiting period. I wish I would have done some research on this board before I sent them my order and credit card number. I just hope I don't have any problems with anything now!!!!! These guys are really nice up front, then watch out. So much for this summers fun in the sun. :mad

Mark,
Yep, they're the same guys. Of course, now that I have the parts I ordered, I'm happy. It's just not right that they, or any retailer, leads you on with a bunch of BS while they gather together your order. I was told several times that everything was on the way and that duplicate orders were shipped, but they seldom would give me a tracking number. On the items that I did receive a tracking number, I received the parts within a day or two. Hope nobody ever has to go through what I did. This just isn't right.

Hey,

Just wanted to let you know I helped a buddy drop a ZZ4 in his 72 last summer. Bolting it down was easy, getting all the accessories hooked up was next to impossible! We finally got it done though, and damn is it fast :eek:
