Well it was the first time I used CC and ordered a magnetic drain plug. I received the shipment very quickly but when I opened the box there were frame bolts in it. I called CC and the lady was very nice. She said she would ship me out the correct part. A couple of days later I received the shipment, opened the box and it was a drain plug. The next day I changed my oil, when I was putting the new plug in I found it to be the wrong one, the threads were too big and also found out it wasn't magnetic. Well they are closed until Jan. 3rd, then I will proceed again. Wonder what I'll get next time.

Never had a problem with corvette central. I like corvette central. Sux during the holidays for contact, but they will make it right.

I also haven't had any problems with CC in the 3 1/2 years I have been dealing with them..You didn't date one of the owners daughters did you???.This could cause that kind of problem..

My first shipment from CC I wasn't that impressed. The stuff that I had ordered seemed to be very cheaply made. However the customer service is excellent and they offered to take back any item that I didn't want as long as it was returned within 30 days

I just order u-joint straps and an exhaust hanger from them. They sent them out at 2 different times. Got what I ordered though and it was only a couple of days. Sorry to hear that you're having problems.

I've used CC for a couple of years now, but no problems yet. It happens though and maybe it was a holiday temp noob. Sorry it was your turn over the barrel...
Let us know when it gets resolved.

Is there any particular reason you used CC to buy the drain plug? Magenetic drain plugs for SBC oil pans are available at just about any chain parts store.
Not saying that CC is any better or worse as a source, but it's too easy to get small parts like this at a local store.

Actually it's very comfortable, better than some of my other cars. The way I look at it life goes by fast, so you have to do what you love or miss out and sometimes put up with some unpleasantness on the way.

Ken, I don't know how bad yours is but there was a time when I could not walk, sleep or sit. I found a doctor that did a procedure on me that took 85 percent of my leg pain away. If you want more info pm me and I will fill you in.
