Team,
400sforever started a good thread discussing the issues he had with a supplier and ordering. I wanted to try and bring that thread to the correct corner of the forum and add that I am not advocating stopping orders for your cars. I myself need to get a ton of stuff for the MN Gold project, but cannot afford to lay out a bunch of cash to any supplier who is not honest about how long it's going to sit on that money. Many of these suppliers are not net-30, and do not carry large inventories to meet custom order or even day to day. Summit and JEGs ect do have massive warehouses and tons o on hand product....but also have to farm out stuff to intermediaries just like a lot of the small guys.....but they have cash on hand to refund and often do tell you that they are on back order.....and for how long. Just keep in mind that if a business lays off its folks and is in this holding pattern, they may not be able to refund you.....or give you updates on orders placed on your behalf. ****Trust but verify******
