I ordered some minor things online from them on Monday morning. Like $70 worth, no big deal. First thing I was not pleased with was that you do not know your exact total after they have your CC and the deal is done. I still don't know what shipping is going to cost. I did call them and ask and all I got was, "oh around 12 bucks", which is fine, but a site not confirming how much you just spent? Also, I still don't have a confirmation that it has been sent out yet. In all fairness, their site does say to allow 72 hours for your order to be pulled and sent out via UPS. But 3 days to get it on the truck!?! Then however long UPS takes to deliver it to your house from North GA. I could have driven down there, and gotten back in less than 8 hours. I'm just left with a bad taste over this order so far. Am I being too critical?

I have National Guard drill in Winder, GA next month. I can't remember the exact date but I want to say either the 2nd or 3rd weekend of September. If you haven't gotten your stuff by then I can run over there and see what's up. This is a worst case scenario but just in case you need somethin, ya know?

I've never bought anything from them because I never agreed with their pricing.. but they have been around FOREVER.

Thanks man, that's quite an offer.Yeah, if I havent' gotten it by then I'll definately see if you want to go by and shake them around a bit for me.

I have also thought their pricing was way above average, but in this case it was on par with other places.

I'm going to call them today if no shipping confirmation is e-mailed, which they say they send out once it goes on the truck.

Bonestock87 - I ordered a donut spare from them bc they had one for cheap and it sure beat buying it from the dealer. I ordered over the phone, and was never given tracking either... but they did call me to let me know when it had shipped and when it should arrive. I'd give them another call and see whats up.

i've had nothing but good experiences with them. the only problem i had was when i ordered an AC vent for my 97 from them and they sent the wrong shade of gray, so it didnt match too well. i called them and they got the right vent for me in the correct color and shipped it right away

I emailed them about a cobra motor at 2 AM last night and got a response this morning so I don't think they're bad. When I ordered my Cobrar R hood (not from MPS) all I got was an OK and it'll be sent. I didn't get a price on it or confirmation numbers. It got there but it was a heart pounder.

Good news, I had a package at my door tonight. Bad news, they shipped the wrong crap! Extremely frustrating. I just got home (10:45pm) and e-mailed them. I hope they can immediately ship the right stuff and not require this stuff to come back first. I knew I had an uneasy feeling about how hap-hazardly they handled my order.
