Hello,

I do apologize that the Corvette Shifter Linkage was not delivered in the timeframe that was advertised or expected. I understand how frustrating this can be especially when it is for a customers vehicle. We take full responsibility for this and know that we can not do anything at this point but own up to our mistake. I am not sure what happened with fed ex taking so many days to deliver to you in WI from KS this is normally a 3 business day delivery which would of been Friday not Saturday. Seems it might of gotten stuck at one of their hubs. Due to the inconvenience I have issued you a refund for the shipping although this does not make up for the customer not being able to drive his car this past weekend your concerns did not fall on deaf ears. If there is anything else in the meantime that we can assist with please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you,
Allison

Eckler's great- freight company not
May 25, 2025

I was expecting a call from Maersk Freight to deliver my windshield. They just dumped it on the front porch & dashed. No doorbell or opportunity to inspect. Guess you can't expect much for $300

Hello Richard,

I apologize for the recent experience with the delivery of your windshield. With freight we do not require a delivery appointment or a signature upon delivery. The freight company can choose to reach out to notify you when they will be delivering but unfortunately this is correct they can just drop the item and go. If after you inspect it and you find something is wrong you can contact customer service and we will take care of it. I apologize again and if there is anything else that you need please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you,
Allison

Hello John,

I'm sorry to hear that one of your items arrived incorrect and you had to process a return. I can assure you this was not something we expected and completely apologize for the inconvenience! I see the correct windsheild wiper is currently processing and should ship within 24-48 business hours. We apologize again and if there is anything else that we can assist you with please do not hesitate to reach out to customer service.

Thank you,
Allison

First experience is not good
May 21, 2025

I am new to Eckler's and should have only placed one order to see how it goes. Unfortunately I've placed four orders and the first two have been screwed up. I purchased a new center console single DIN bezel to accommodate newer stereo system. The employee who pulled the order, pulled the original style unit. After explaining the situation to customer service over the chat line, the representative did not grasp the situation and condescendingly proceeded to explain the description as written by the manufacturer as if I didn't know what I was talking about. Guys I ended the conversation as this person had no clue of what they were talking about and decided to call Eckler's personally. The person I spoke to over the phone was marginally better but still difficult too make them understand that I need the unit and not a refund. They kept apologizing for me not being satisfied with the quality of the piece, which, of course is not the problem, they sent me the wrong piece. After more wrangling, they instructed me that I had to return the piece through FedEx, and that they would not ship the new piece until FedEx receive the old as if it was my fault and not theirs! I could go on about the incompetency all around. My second order which was made the same day April 28th has not arrived in three weeks. The customer service representative told me that it was lost, when I went to FedEx, they told me that they never shipped it. Instead of expediting it quickly, they said it will take 2 to 3 days to investigate first before they send the unit to me. God help me with the rest of the orders.! This car is being worked on for someone who is dying of cancer and I fear that by the time I receive the parts he will have already been dead! They gave me a $30 voucher for my troubles, but they can keep it as I won't be using them again.

No first order discount
May 19, 2025

I provided my email on Wed 12:30 am, and was waiting for my $10 first time order discount. It didn't show up so I ordered my needed part on Wed 1:00am. Checking my email and the discount code showed up 48 hours later (Friday at 1:55 am) I also wanted to enter customer service reps. Name "Jan" ext. 1949, on my order so he would get credit for order#*******. There was no place in the online order form to enter his name. Please see that he receives credit for his assistance and sale. Thanks!

I saw a video on u tube. They were using your parts, and made the replacement look easy. My 51 steering was getting Wonky, so I went to your websit, Boom, there was all the stuff. It was a breeze getting everything ordered, now justgotta get it done and get the 51 back on road. Thanks, John l. Wickline

Renovating a 77 Vette
May 10, 2025

I am renovating a 77 Vette and looking for a few pieces that are missing.
Eckler's was very quick to respond, and started sending me emails with numerous parts. I'm just getting started and not sure what I will fully need, but I ordered a piece and received it within days! I'm sure I will be using Eckler's for all I need. They were quick, professional, and reasonably priced. Thanks
