Where are my Borla Headers?

OK I have patiently waited for my headers for almost 2 months (since 3/23/00). Every so often Carparts.com decides to send me an estimated shipping date that is a couple weeks away. After recieving 4 or 5 of these I am really starting to get annoyed. I dont think i will be a customer of Carparts.com any longer. I'm posting this because I just recieved another one of these estimated shipping date letters and I had to tell someone because I have never delt with a company that couldn't fill an order within 1 and a half months!!!! ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Well I have one better. I ordered a Borla
CBack and headers at the end of February with
the 1/3off coupon. I received the CBack last
week and the estimated shipping date is
the end of May for the Headers. I was starting to think that they were not going to
honor the coupon. I believe the problem
may be Borla and their production schedule.
The packet of instructions I received with
the CatBack had a print date of just the
prior week. I guess we'll just have to wait.

I just got my headers on Monday. I ordered them about ten days before that (Carparts.com w/1/3 off coupon). They are labeled 4.0 Ranger/Explorer headers, so they aren't any different from yours, although I got the ones with EGR valve. I would start making a stink!

Bill:
Sounds like you're going to fix (is rebuild a better word) your truck. If not, you might want to sell the headers to Chav or Joe.

I canceled my headers 2 weeks ago. I waited since March 15 or around then and keep getting those delay notices. I'll never order anything from them again.

I don't think I would order from them either just not to long ago they had another fellow on this site that ordered some lights from them and Carparts.com and miss advertised the setup, i dont know what the outcome was but i wouldnt order from them.

agreed. Carparts, although their prices are hard to beat, sucks in their delivery procedures. Whether it's them or the manufacturer causing the delay, it's their responsibility to get people their parts in a timely fashion (i.e., have SOMEWHERE where things are actually in stock because from what I understood in talking to them, all they do is drop-ship from the manufacturer and manufacturers don't tend to make stuff in batches of one). anyway, to Chav and anyone else that has had to cancel an order for headers: Hedman makes an 1 1/2" TEMS hedder that Summit carries (part # is 89400). they're not stainless or anything, just painted black and not the most precisely made part I've ever laid eyes on, but I ordered them mid-afternoon on a wednesday and recieved them that same friday (cost: $180 or so). food for thought for those of you tired of waiting around for parts...

I would cancel the order for the headers, but I don't think anyone can beat the price of these headers (280 for borla headers w/o egr). Although I am very anoyed now, i dont know what else I can do. It seems to me that it is easier to wait and get them for this price, but I WILL NEVER ORDER ANOTHER PART FROM CARPARTS.COM. The last delay notice said they would be shipped by 5/15/00 and today is the 16th and i havent heard anything, but the last notice they sent me wasnt corrected until 7 days later. I am going to call them and find out what kinda of expliantion they have for this because anything short of a hurrican or worse would explain a 2 month delay. Thank you for the replies its good to know i'm not the only one having troubles with this company.

I guess whats happening is with all the 33% off coupon orders, the Borlas suppliers seem to be having a hard time keeping up with the demand. Plus with each set of headers and catback being hand made, its even harder to keep up. Now I'm don't mean to sound like I'm defending carparts or Borla in anyway. I'm just suggesting an explaination for the shortage and delays. I do feel for you guys!
 






ANOTHER ONE!

I ordered a Borla cat-back from carparts on 5/2/00 on 5/3 I got a notice saying that estimated shipping date is 6/1/00. Has anyone actually gotten there order in the past couple of months? If so were all the parts there?

I mentioned some of this earlier in this thread, but I want to retell it. I ordered mine on April 28 with crossed fingers after reading all the earlier horror stories about long ship times, but my coupon was expiring, and I'm cheap. It was delivered May 8 to my surprise! Maybe mine are different, but they're labeled "for Explorer/Ranger 4.0 w/EGR 93-94, part #17030." They came shipped straight from Borla. Have you guys ordered these, or a different year, or no EGR?

The headers I ordered are w/o EGR. This is terrible.
