can somebody tell me how long it should take to get a brake kit from wilwood ? l did not order direct from wilwood I went through a vendor

[Vicinity]

I would assume they are regularly stocked items...

I ordered it on April 9 and have not received them yet!!!

Have you tried calling the company you bought them from? Maybe they're having shipping problems, waiting for more stock, etc.

[a wade]

yes called multiple times same answer every time ship tomorrow over and over these where part of a big order I have been short changed on some other things to out of this order

maybe there a few things on back order or one item holding the whole order up? Ask them if they have all the items in stock? If they piddle around much more cancle the order and re order through Frank.

Find a vendor with the parts in stock and cancel the original order. I did this for two orders in the past month and a half.

Four SS -4 AN brake lines from one company that stated "ships within 3 days". The other company, for a flaring tool claimed "in stock."

A) SS -4 Lines: after 2 weeks, received 2 of the 4 SS -4 AN lines.

B) Flaring Tool: the day after the flaring tool order received an email stating a week for the flaring tool to ship.

After 4 weeks from time of order, canceled the remaining (kept and paid for the two -4 SS lines that were delivered in the mean time (OK by me)).

Ordered else where and received within the week. Continued bolting car together.

If they ain't got it, give them a reasonable amount of time. After that, bye. Get it elsewhere. A vendor can't ask for more then that.

3 months!!! Solly you went to the wrong vendor. Some vendors move more stuff so they get pricing discounts. And a part of that vendor pricing discount means that they will have to have a large quantity of the parts from the manufacture on hand. Mainly because they have to spend a certain amount of money with the manufacture on a yearly basis. So to keep the A+ vendor discount alive throughout the year it may mean they have to stock ALOT of parts if direct sales wont cover the minimum purchase (money) requirements.

So the A+ vendors for say wilwood will have a pretty good stock of the fast moving products. If your order had a couple of off the mainstream parts that are normally ordered the A+ dealers can usually get those faster from the manufacture also.

There are some A+ vendors of wilwood products here, just a thought. JR
