    Regardless of the many months behind on orders, they DO NOT offer a full refund. My order is in the middle of the queue somewhere, not even being made yet mind you, and their customer service said I would just lose out on near $100 of the purchase price just to cancel. Seriously?!? Wow...

    Just putting it out there if your even considering this style grille it a full commitment without knowing when you'll get this thing. So don't change your mind

    I feel like that shouldn't be a surprise though. You're buying a custom aftermarket piece. It's not like you can pick one up at Walmart. Also just keep in mind most fab shops are only 5 people deep or so, at the most...

    Understandable, however my custom part is not even in production. Not sure why the charge just to cancel something that's not even made yet.

    You order is in fact in production as I told you I'va email today. I'm sorry you feel that way but that is our policy you aggreed to the terms when ordering as seen in the box you checked.

    Call your credit card provider, explain that your order was promised at date X, and it's Y weeks past that date, and that you want to dispute the transaction. Your full money will be returned in no time.

    Delays are not all that unusual, but they can't simply break the purchasing contract (and that's exactly what took place when they promised a product in a certain timeframe and you paid for it) and then hold your money hostage.

    ...too much shit to list.
    There sure is. It's part of the checkout process.

    @motozachl, please change your thread title from "buyer beware" to "I'm too fucking lazy to read and now I'm mad at the vendor for charging me exactly what is stated in the checkout process for cancelling my order and I want to tell the world how ignorant I am".

    He is not even close to the minimum 12 week lead time noted on our site. it's not a delay his order is still on track for just after 12 weeks.

    Clearly, what we have here is a failure to read the purchase terms.

    I'm really sorry to say this OP, but from the sounds of it, your money is lost if you decide to cancel.

    Mods should delete this thread, @JLee and the crew are a solid vendor/team here, this shit pisses long time members like me off, OP is in the wrong here and has no business imo running his mouth about a respected member and vendor here.

    I wanted a price quote before for item. Didn't get it. Doesn't surprise me at all op.

    But there are regs when buying online.

    This.
    Just about every retailer/vendor has this. It costs them money as well. It's a business, after all.
    I don't see this as an unusual business practice
