Default GM Parts Direct - back orders

Has anyone ordered something that had a "national back order " on it to have some idea of how long that wait might be ? from any past experience

I don't have anything on order specifally from GM Parts direct. But, I can tell you I've had door panels on order from GM for what seems like 6 months that are on national backorder and also a HUD bezel on order now for 2 months.

Default Gmpd national - back order

Wow, They did not respond to my request other than to say they have no idea how long it would take to get the parts. They are making me keep the insulators and other things that go with it, eventhough I cant get the main parts. Thats like ordering two gallons paint, two brushes, and 3 rolls of tape. Then you are told the paint is not available and they are not sure when it will be - but you cant cancel the order and you are stuck with the brushes and tape.What good is it without the paint ? And they have posted a pending sale for the full amount on my card. This was my first order with them, and there is no phone number to call. E-MAIL is slow, so I do not have a good feeling about getting all of my parts anytime soon.
Thanks for the follow up.

Waiting for C6 sway bars may be a national back order.

Window revile moldings for my 01 Z have been on national back order since late 08 still haven't heard anything on them yet, so kids don't break your windshield

I ordered some parts last month and the gentlemen on the phone after taking my order told me that a delivery date depended on what kind of schedule the GM parts depot warehouse is operating at. Ya can't get parts from a warehouse that on three weeks work stoppage. Just the way it is.

isn't GM Parts Direct is a Dealer in NC?

try Scoggin Dickey they are one of the largest GM Parts sellers in the country. Many dealers buy from them when they cant get parts from a GM ware house or other dealers
