Painful to be one of the few thinking the opposite of this title, but for what its worth Iâ??ll share my very recent experience.
Ordered my first set of parts for my 96 from Bill on 5 Apr 2006 â???I wanted to see how it would turn out. Nothing to complex, but a selection of stuff that a solid understanding of the car as an enthusiast would be useful â??? even essential.
The ordering process was fantastic! Bill knew just what I was looking for with only vague descriptions:
"Need the grill attachment part that breaks sometimes when you do a cabin air filter replacementâ? â??No Problem, I own a similar car â??? can I give you some advice?"
â??Need all the parts required to do an upper and lower intake cleaningâ? â??Got the list right here â??? will you be changing injector O-rings?â?
â??Need the Cougar caliper brackets so I can run SVT sized front rotorsâ? â??No problem!â?
And so on.
Ordering the stuff could not be better!
Most of the parts were supposed to arrive on 7 Aprâ?¦
Well... sent an email 12 April asking what happened to which Bill almost immediately replied that heâ??d look in to it and Iâ??d have my parts by 14 April.
Well... still nothing. No email saying itâ??s on the wayâ?¦ Not even a charge to my credit card.
Just not seeing right now how this is better than building a relationship with a local Ford parts department.
Today, 15 April, I am putting the brakes back together with standard sized rotors. Iâ??ll just have to postpone the manifold cleaning for a year. (Or whenever I can set aside time for it again). Definitely not a good experience.
Maybe Rara or N2EAL would let me â??channelâ? my orders through them (just kidding! - or am I?).
