<ZIP RULES>
I started replacing one brake caliper and ended up replacing every single brake part on the entire car except the power booster and pedal/linkage...
I got my calipers at Auto Zone (in Ohio) I could not refuse for 60 a piece with stainless... However when it came time to replace all the brake lines, I called Zip and had them 2 days later at my door. Great price Great service and Prompt delivery. When its that good, you have to speak up.
THANKS ZIP!!

I've placed about 5 orders with Zip, and was happy every time. Great producs, great prices, and the one time I had to speak with customer service, they were very nice and helpful.

Just to keep this discussion balanced...
My first and last order from Zips was a couple months ago. They assured they had all my items in stock. Wrong. I got half of them quickly but had to wait three weeks for the rest til the backorder came in. Meanwhile my car sat and I fumed.
I was going to try them again because of their 10% discount offer. The item I checked was $29 at Ecklers, $40 at Zips. Even my math tells me that 10% ain't so hot.

It has happened to me several times where I have told customers their order will be here in a few days (because the company I order from said it would be), and have their stuff come in months later.
We waited on a set of Tiger Grinds for 6 months. They were limited edition special order custom fit... backordered 6 months.
By the way, before anyone starts in, lets not make this a "bag on Zip" thread... they are supporting vendors and we can't afford to lose them as such.

I understand that. But there is a big difference between "in stock" and "on order".
Do you tell your customers something is in stock when it isn't?

Re: <ZIP RULES> (groovyjay)
I ordered the braided stainless hoses 3+ weeks ago and havent seen them yet. They were up front and told me these were back ordered and said it would be a few weeks. To me thats part of good customer service.
I dont realy need them for at least another 4-6 weeks. But I hope if it takes longer than they expect they will send me a freindly reminder.
Also I tried to use the CF-5 discount, but Im told it doesn't apply to on sale items. It doesn't mean much to 50 bucks, but if its 300-500 bucks, it can mean alot.
