Vendor issue?

I ordered some stearing gear box items two weeks ago friday from John's F fun 100 over in Anaheim CA. They had to back order some bearings but they said they would get them the next day. It was going to ship last Monday. I still havent gotten my parts and cant get ahold of them. I called and left message and emailed twice. Has anyone ever ordered from them before? any problems? I want to give them the benefit of my coming doubts.

Dang that sucks for me. I have been ordering parts for about 3 years now and never had anything problems with the other vendors I use. Guess I should have payed the extra 10 bucks per part. I would already have had the gear box assy back together by now.

I suggest you talk to some of the guys at "Pickups Limited". That is their territory and I'm sure they can give you the low down.

I have no axe to grind but since it came up, I had a poor experience as well. I placed an order for some routine stuff and after several weeks nothing was delivered. A few follow up calls were placed. I'm not on a tight schedule so I was easy-going but there was no particular urgency on their part to make things happen.

I own a small business and if I got that call, ther'd be a package on their doorstep overnight.

I also had very slow delivery and no communication from them.
SAC Ford, Mid 50 & Macs have been great.

I must be the rare exception. I have ordered from them several times and got nothing but good service.

AFAIK, Bob's F Fun Hundreds has moved from their original location.

Last June, before the WesternNats, I went to Bob's Anaheim location along with Aussie53, his brother and FTE member camperspecial65.

There was no one around, the lady in the adjoining office said Bob had moved...but didn't know where.
