Default Glutton for punishment

I swore I never would....but I have ordered from Ecklers AGAIN.... now I set back and marvel at the ways these morons will without doubt ruin an order for a front air damn replacement kit, Wolf car cover, Seat back bezel and left window outside weather stripping..... When I come on in a week or so with an infuriated rant you can all tell me you told me so and watched as the insanity happened right here in thsi thread.

sounds like your really mad at yourself already. you don't even know what's happening with the order yet, how can you get mad at them at this point?

when the order goes smooth, be sure to report it here as well.....then YOU'LL get to be the moron

also.....when's the last time that you didn't F something up?

Nothing like throwing a brick through your windshield before you hop in it in the morning...

".....when's the last time that you didn't F something up?"[/QUOTE]


Where the hell did that come from?

Oh btw they already screwed it up in less than an hour they emailed me saying the parts would have to be sent in several batches due to ordering problems and the cover would have to come from another supplier who cant supply a tracking number

I new better than deal with these idiots. Some one peed in their mothers. Thats why I started this thread... I KNOW better than to order from those incompetents. There was a voice telling me the whole time not to do it but there was no one place that had everything I needed. And now it looks like its all getting shipped at different times any way. Le sigh.

There are other catalog houses that give good service. Mid America, Corvette Central, to name a few. All have their ups and downs. My experience is that Ecklers is usually higher in shipping. So shop wisely.

hip, it comes from the sheer fact that we all screw up. i'm in no way defending the corporate glutton in the form of eckler's, but you have to remember that 1) you ordered via the web (right?) and 2) they DID respond to you and explained whats going on.

remember the Led Zeppelin tune, "Nobody's Fault But Mine". it sounds like you already realize that since you went back for more. sorry about that.

How does that old saying go?
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Seriously, hope your items arrive in a timely fashion.
