Default Ordering from RaceNet, Problems...

It may by premature, but I would adivise anyone ordering from Racenet Performance to consider another source. I ordered my MSD plug wires over 2 weeks ago & they have still not arrived. (supposedly, they were sent via USPS Priority, ie 2-3 days). I talked to the postman today & found out that Racenet should have a tracking # that only costs them .15 cents to get. Subsequently, I called Racenet & told them about that. Now, they insist that they have contacted the post office & are trying to resolve it. My advice, use a different service. There is no reason to wait 2 weeks for a simple set of plug wires. I have called Racenet 3 times in the past 2 weeks w/no help until now. Heck, my Cap, Rotor, & Looms are sitting here waiting. Now I have to go through the whole process again.
Ok, maybe this is a rant, but still informative.

Just FYI.

I always order hot rod parts from either JEGS or Summit.
They have the best prices, and usually free shipping.

Hmm, I've ordered a lot of stuff from them over the years and have always recieved it quickly. One time they forgot to send a certain item but a quick phone call got it sent out priority. I didn't need it immediately anyway so it wasn't a big deal.

A good rule of thumb is to not order parts when you need them, order them BEFORE you need them. Gather all your parts before you start a project and it will go a lot smoother.

I've also had very good luck with Summit and Jegs. Summit is usually a little bit cheaper, something like $.04 per item, but hey every little bit helps.
