Default Wilcox Corvette

I don't know if it's kosher to knock on vendors here, but I think I am done ordering from them. Don't get me wrong, they seem like nice people, and they provide some very good diagrams and how-to's on various aspects of parts installations, but holy hell, get your shit together over there.

I ordered a few parts from them on February 24th, which was a Friday, so I'll give them that. I understand it's a small outfit, so no big deal, they process it on Monday. Nope. It was processed on Tuesday. Unbeknownst to me though, because they never sent any email to this whatsoever. No tracking numbers, nothing. I had to login to my account to even see if the order was processed or not. So anyway, processed on the 28th, said 7 to 10 business days. Now, it's only the 10th of March, and that's only 8 business days, but holy jumping shitballs! WTF are you guys using over there? Horses? The Pony friggen Express?

I ordered items from ZIP and Corvette Central AT THE SAME TIME and they have been in my garage since Monday. Sometimes I can order stuff from Summit and get it THE NEXT DAY!

I have noticed a lot of Wilcox parts have Corvette America stickers on them, so maybe I'll just go to the source from now on.

Good god, it has been almost 3 fukin weeks waiting on lousy switches and contacts. I was hoping to cop a buzz tonight installing my parts, but no dice.

I yanked my distributor out on Monday Afternoon to send it back to Performance Distributors (Davis Unified) to have it recurved. Sent UPS GROUND on Monday at about 4pm. It arrived today in Memphis. (sent from Los Angeles)

Just sayin.

Don't you live in California? I don't see what the problem is.

Willcox has good prices but I don't think they actually stock anything. When you order from them, they order from their supplier, usually Corvette America.

And as you found out, they don't provide emails when your order ships.

I have had good luck with Paragon.

Fair enough.

I have still not received my parts from Willcox Corvette


I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on this. They have until Tuesday, that's the 10th business day. 20 days total from the time I ordered. After that, I'll call them and ask what's up. If I get smoke blown up my ass, I am disputing the charge.

They gladly took my money, where in the FUK ARE MY PARTS? I have gotten shit from China faster, or anywhere overseas for that matter. This is flatout bullshit.

Never again.
