Re: Beware

If something was that important to me I'd go with a tried and true route. I would have ordered MSD Superconductors from a extremely reliable store that gives your free shipping and orders are usually recieved in 2 days or less. They start with a Sum and end it a mit, open 7 days a week. Although I'm biased cause they are right down the road, so that makes it easy for me.

Matter of fact if you called and ordred right now you might be able to get them by Saturday.

PS MSD's work fine with Hooker/Pacesetter longtubes. You just need some zip ties.

You can always throw some cheap Autozone wires on there and have them replaced whenever you please.

>This is true ... but the company still should given him/her a courtesy call/e-mail indicating the part went back order. This is just something that will make the customer return and not badmouth them as to drive away other potentional customers.

just my opinion (and we all know that about opinions ... right?

Re: Beware

Yeah i feel your pain. I orderd a set from Elite almost 2 months ago now and still havn't recieved them. I was told ther ewas only a 4 day backorder. I dont like to badmouth anyone but this is just rediculous. I tried to handle everything through PM's the last one I got said they think my wires were shipped, and that was 2 weeks ago. Yet they got multiple adds on ebay showing that they have 49 sets available. Like this one.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Black...temZ7997514029

Re: Beware

Yah, I think it is their new building. Looks *very* impressive from the outside, unfortunately at the times I was driving past, they were not open (early AM on the way up, and late night on a Sunday way back)...

Had the same thing happen (didn't wait as long though), filed a complaint w/ Paypal and they never responded to them either. I got the money back then received the wires. Ended up using them (after buying another non-OVC set), so I paid for them again. The way the Ebay ad reads they are in S. Florida, but they are actually shipped from California.

Very poor communication, kind of like using a 286 computer w/ a 14.4 modem back in the "old" days .

Yeah th eonly bad part is i bought it straight from their website. I think it went through like their yahoo store. Guess i should file a complaint with them seeing as they havn't responded to anymore PM's.

Re: Beware

I ordered from them and waited about a month with out hearing anything from them. Finally i received an email saying it had been shipped and giving me a fake tracking number. another couple weeks go by and i file a complaint with paypal. He then quickly emails me his usual bs story about how they're back ordered (why'd you lie to me about sending them if they were back ordered? ). He then sent ANOTHER email saying they were going to be shipped the next monday (which was also bs). Paypal was able to recover about $55 of the 80 I sent him. Don't waste your time with elite.
