3rd Party Vender Issues!

Gonna get flame sprayed, but here we go. . . On 31 July 2025, I placed an order for the rear bumper pads for my 83 911 with the company that used to be Automotion. Mea Culpa to Pelican: They had a discount sale for the pads, Pelican didn't, and $250.00 saved is $250.00.

They gladly took my money, sent me an invoice, dated 31 July. On 3 August, I sent an e-mail status check and received a response (canned) on 4 August telling me that it would take a week to prepare the delivery.

Their on-line stock check revealed that they had one right pad and six left pads so a delivery delay should not have been an issue. As yet (9 August), nothing. I have previously purchased parts from them with absolutely no issues so this is not my initial transaction with said company.

So, are they (SMC) playing games?
