Not sure if this will be left on here or if its against any rules so I'll keep it clean and nice.

cprparts.com has hosed me on an order. I'll explain.

I am just about done swapping a 351 into my car. I have all my parts for my car except the upper elbow to match my Eddy vic jr FI lower intake. So I wait to order in case eddy gets off their tails and starts producing thier piece that they have been advsertising for 2 months now. So finally I call eddy and they don't have a production date. No big deal as I have a plan B and knew I can get my hands on they EFI spyder elbows and they will work just the same. Other than costing me about 50 bucks more, no big deal as I need the part.

So first I start pricing and find that CPR is cheaper than CHP and cheaper shipper (should of been my first clue). But Instead I decide to order from them last thursday. I ordered online and called Friday to verify as is my sop when I order from a new or unheard of company. They said they got my order and it was all ok, part was in stock and would ship friday afternoon monday morning at the latest. Ok, no big deal. called monday for my tracking # so I can watch as its a long way from cali to Mo. They said it hadn't shipped yet but would go out that day. Ok not that big of a deal as it still has time to get here by Friday so i can start my motor for the first time.

Called Tuesday for my tracking #. None yet. Then the freaking guy had the nerve to question me as to why i waited so long to order my last part. I proceded to make him feel like a dick and tell the above story that we were waiting on eddys matching part but had to do this as a plan b. But the real problem is that I now have to pay for rush shipping to get it here in time b/c of their slowness and inability to deliver promises. They were not willing to offer any type of consolation or even admit they were wrong. So I had to pay 40 bucks more to get it here b/c of this. They were not nice, not helpful and I would highly reconmend anyone to think twice before ordering from them.


Rant off. Thanks and have a nice day. Sorry its so long.

On a side note, I should be starting my new motor this weekend. Will post pics of the build If i can figure out how.
