What are you looking for?

[KFunk]

IE will certainly come through with what you need, eventually.  No scam artists there, just a few glitches.  It may just take some bugging. They're also the best/only supplier for numerous performance parts, so ya gotta wait on it if that's what you want.

 

If you're just wanting stock/OE quality non-perf parts, then AutohausAZ and Blunttech are far more reliable and quick shippers.

Call Blunt direct, or email direct.  I never use the website and I get everything I need promptly.  He is great to deal with.  I do not have any experience with Ireland, but I know they are a reputable company.

I wasn't clear enough.  Call Steve at Blunttech direct.

 

As I said, I have no experience with Ireland except they are a legit company.

 

I should have separated into two separate lines before.

What's the probability that you'll ever need any kind of support for the product(s) you're ordering?  If the answer is "greater than zero", forget AutohausAZ, as they're just a supplier.  Ireland Engineering will support anything and everything that they sell, and go way beyond the call of duty in providing that support, both in terms of the scope of support, and length of support.  Are there some hiccups in delivery?  Perhaps.  But only by comparison with companies that don't provide uncommon support to the products they sell.  Does this make me an IE apologist?  Yes, it does.  I've received uncommonly good support from Jeff, Jeremy, and Andrew, and I can only assume that with me wasting their time on the phone, they can't be simultaneously shipping you your parts.  

 

In general, when it comes to boutique companies that sell and support top-end products, my experience has been that calling the company and speaking directly to the representatives has been the very best way to achieve satisfaction.

I've been buying parts from IE for about a year now and have found them to be top notch. Now I am in the fortunate position to be able to drive 5 min to pick up the parts and talk to the guys in person.  I know they moved buildings a few months ago and that was hard on the team there. Hopefully your experience with them is the exception. I know I and others are very happy with the parts and service they supply our hobby.

Sounds like you should just sell it and quit whining, Jeff is a large contributor to making and developing parts for our cars.
