a couple summers ago...I ordered a Diamond primary chain from kirk...what I received was from motoworld (not a diamond) when I called to elt him know..his reply was..they are all the same( or something to that effect) so that's not a quote..but still..kinda floored me and I let it ride..
few months later, I ordered a few things along with some rockerbox bolts...after about 3 days nothing..i called and was told they weren't in stock.hmmmmmmm ok could have sent what was in stock, and backordered and shipped them later, not held up my whole order on some bolts..
this past Tuesday...I ordered cams shims..( 1+3+4, and shims for #2 along with idler gear spacer/shims all 10 packs) and also lifterblock O-rings a couple cam cover gaskets and head gaskets...its now after 11 pm Friday night... still nothing...no shipping invoice... nothing taken from my acct to indicate it has been filled etc..nothing ....gave my email acct to notify me with any issues and shipping...
I understand and am pretty patient and know things are sometimes busy...but after this amount of time???
also the last couple times ive ordered the shipping cost were ridiculas..( I ship a lot of computer stuff often and generally know the shipping values within reason...)..
guess im just ranting a bit here....but also..im curious, has any one else had similar issues???
those here know..when I see it ..I recommend Kirk, usually over J+P..even though they have both become the same ( V-twins ..custom chrome ...etc etc
I could have ordered the exact same things, from ebay. for about 3.00 less each item..and most with free shipping...but have always felt that those that advertise here deserves our support, and also those that have been around and been supplying ironheads parts pretty exclusively at some point or another deserve the support....
but im now having second thoughts with ever ordering again...
ok rant over....
