Yes, lesson learned. The vendor still has not given me a valid tracking number, and UPS says they haven't even received the package from the shipper.

I'll find another source

I have been one of Mike Chirco's most staunch supporters but even my excellent patience has reached its end.

The issues, to name a few, with the most important being lack of communication:

• More often than not, we're in the midst of discussing some parts that I need, then dead silence and no more response.

• Parts I bought nearly two years ago are still not here and no refund either. In one case, he said the part got damaged during polishing (which I did not ask to have done) and I offered to take it damaged at a discount but even that offer was ignored. Long delays don't bother me as much as the lack of communication!

• The parts received were not what I ordered based on the photos I agreed to. A case in point was a wheel that I wanted exactly like it was shown in the photos but what I got was not that. In spite stating that I need it quickly, it was delayed several extra days to sand blast it which I absolutely did not want and on top of it the blasting was a terrible job.

• Another was a grille that I wanted in excellent original condition without having had any disassembly and/or painting but what I got looked nice from a distance but had clearly been disassembled and had epoxy holding parts of it together with gold anodized parts that were gold painted instead. No refund was offered even though I paid a premium price for a pristine piece.
