Default Never Buy From.....

autopartswarehouse.com
partstrain.com

They will tell you the material is in stock just to get your money. Back order it and never tell you. I was waiting two weeks for my headers each one intially told me they were in stock. When I called to get tracking they said they are shipping that day, I call two days later the order is not in stock. I end up cancelling and then the same thing happens with the other site. They are affiliated with each other. Buyers beware !

Sucks to hear! I have ordered from autopartswarehouse twice before for parts for a Honda and parts for a Cavalier. Both times I didn't have a problem, but I may reconsider them in the future.

I ordered a converter from autopartswarehouse and had no problems. Good to know about their crappy service though.

OTOH, I've had very good luck with Parts Train last year on several orders. Very fast shipment. Maybe it's a lottery system - or luck of the draw. I'd order from them again.

Call Gene. Great service. He always has specials posted, and my order came quickly, and I was updated all the way.
