Ecklers Bites
This is a rant :rant:
Dec.9 Order two weatherpack connecters and vette baseball cap.
Dec. 29 Phone to check on order, informed they split it up and Dec15 cap was shipped, Dec.22 connectors were shipped. Two shipping charges :mad
Jan. 7 connectors show up. 84 cents to ship by mail.
Still no sign of cap :smash:
Today credit card bill shows up and the charged me $8 bucks to ship the connectors and $7 bucks to ship cap :confused:
This has cost me $57 canadian and all I have are 2 plastic connectors.
I'll get over it :mad
Have a nice day :D

Ugh. Gotta love those split up shipments.. Happened to me (At Amazon, but still the same situation), where a $50 order cost me over $100 cause the items shipped from 10 different locations :smash:

Re: Ecklers Bites (AGENT 86)
I have a rant as well about Heckler's. They advertise new clutch slave cylinder ON SALE, I order it and wait 1 1/2 weeks only to find out after finally calling them that they actually don't have any, never did, and have NO IDEA when the shipment will arrive at their warehouse :mad :cuss
Heckler's just went to the bottom of my lists for parts sources.

You have every right to be upset about this. Try to keep it in perspective. My hope for you is that this is the worst thing that happens to you in 2004.... :yesnod:

Wow that sucks; in cases where double shipping will substantially increase shipping charges the company should contact the recipient for authorization.
I deal with Summit for most non-Vette specific parts, with the exception of valve train items. The treatment from Comp. Cams was supurb.
For most all Vette items I go to Contemporary Corvette or MAD.

Remember, you are on the other side of the border, I know with UPS, shipping is a pain with customs and all that, don't know about the US Mail.

Re: Ecklers Bites (AGENT 86)
Oh yea. I'm not a happy summit customer either. Last year I placed my firsts order with then, an order for some $19 spark plug wires. You get free shipping!! Whoo Hoo! To bad they tacked on a $15 handling charge that I didn't know about until I got the paper invoice. That cost them any future business with me.

My business all goes to ZIP anyways. I've heard a lot of horror stories about Ecklers since buying my car and haven't placed a single order with them. ZIP's made a couple of mistakes, but they own right up to them :thumbs:

What burns my butt, when an order comes across the border into Canada, customs looks at it and then makes me pay the GST and PST.
I can live with that, well, just barely ......... BUT .......... they charge me another $5.00 because I'm paying the taxes ...... GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Ron in Ontario ... :mad
