Ecklers sucks
Did and order from Ecklers, and did an order from Mid America, had some defective items from both places. Called Mid America, said no problem sending me a new one, no charge. Called Ecklers, said sure go ahead and send the items back, but I pay shipping both ways. So basically I pay shipping twice, because they ship me defective products. I think Ecklers needs to learm customer service, from Mid America. I am in retail and I make sure I do what I can for my customer, so they will come back. They just don't give a ****.....Well live and learn.... MID AMERICA ALL THE WAY............

I just ordered some things from Mid America on Tuesday and they came yesterday about 23 hours from when I placed my order. I got what I wanted and fast.

Unless something has changed since last year, Ecklers provides you with a return postage sticker. You call them, they give you an RA number and it ships back for free. Did it with numerous items as I was trying to color match red. 92 Red doesn't match anything sold by anyone btw. (Brilliant Red)

Eckler's shipping chrges are BS, as was discussed in another thread. I ordered my outer window seals and they were suppose to come with the rivets. Open package, no rivets.
I think all these places suck but suck in different ways. I do like that Ecklers has a C4 specific catalogue. It's tiring going through MAMO to find C4 items.

I've owned my car 3 years and have noticed a definate decline in Ecklers over that short time. My latest problem with Ecklers is I bought a seat dye kit from them. Total crap. Looks like a 3rd grader put it together using a chemistry set and Dad's computer. There is no color match, it's off by about 10 shades. And it's not really dye, it's kind of a paint.
With Ecklers, it's buyer beware. But, to make up for that great service and quality control, Ecklers makes sure you can't find a place that's more expensive.

I have only used them maybe 2 times, the rest of the parts are from here, or jegs, and summit.
