Wed the 17th i ordered a Mallory Unilite distributor, along with plug wires, and an oil pressure relocation kit from supplier "A" . Minutes after I ordered i had an email confirmation saying that "A" had logged my order. In that email it had the list of items i ordered, and if any were to be delayed they would have a 'd' next to the item description. no where in the email was a 'd' .

Fast forward today.... one week later.
I call the 'shipping manager' at place "A" , asking when can i expect my package (christmas presents to myself....) he asks, 'what did you order?' i tell him mallor........ he says "vac or no vac" i say 'non....' he says, " were out of those" , i say, "My invoice says you arent, and if you are, it would have been nuce to get a fricken email saying that there was a delay!", he says "SORRY" (very short with me) i ask, when can i expect it.... "mid january" WTF (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/finger.gif)

needless to say im kinda pissed. website/emails said it was instock...... not a notification that it wasnt....

WTF???

where else can i shop for a mallory unilite.....at "A"'s price?

I had the same exact problem with my KB pistons. First they were like 2 months late with the pistons. Then they shipped the wrong ones (for the wrong stroke). I took the pistons in to get balanced because I got them in an unmarked box. The bill from the machine shop was like 17 bucks for the pistons. When I went to assemble the engine they didnt fit. I called "vendor A" and they gave me crap. They said I should assemble my engine 100% before taking my parts out to be machined... I said BULLSHIT and I got a 17 dollar credit (which I ironically used for a mallory).
