Angry F***ing Pelican Parts!!!

I've read more than one thread in the last six months where buyers have come on here and vented their anger about issues that include high shipping charges, poor packaging, incorrect parts shipped, etc.

I never thought I would have to come on here and rant, but today I received my recent order.


Here I am in my office, fuming mad... I received a box full of parts for my 911 today, opened it and found that the contents were correct and properly packaged. I double checked my invoice and found that indeed, I was charged fairly for the shipping and the extra packaging didn't even get an additional charge.

I don't know what I'm going to do. Racing season starts soon and I have no excuse to not show up and have fun.

Damn you Wayne.

Same day happened to me. Everything I order was in the box plus it showed up the day after I placed my order.

How can they get away with this kind of service?

if that's not bad enough

Pelican had the nerve to do a follow up and make sure I was happy. Don't they know I am busy. They even sucker you in to more purchases by offering discounts on future orders, Way too sneaky for me!

And not only do you get exactly what you ordered, packaged properly, and received on time, they have the nerve to send you cool Pelican Parts decals for your tool box, air compressor, garage fridge...... etc.

Well... not "exactly" racing parts, I guess.
I had to order a muffler because I was thrown out of Roebling Road for breaking the decibel limit with open header dumps (aka: zorks).

Damn,,, same thing happened to me. Ordered a part for the 968 and instead of charging me the $10 shipping. They knocked it down to $5. And I got the part in 2 days clear across the countryBoy if they would have charged me $0, that would have really ticked me off What are we going to do with these JOKERS

Yep, and they even sent me this fricking coupon for my next order. THE NERVE!!! One more time with this kind of crappy service and I'm not ever ordering from V###x again, even though they are almost local.
