“Piece I ordered wasn't even close to fitting”

I ordered package shelf fir 1966 chevelle. Did not come even close to fitting. I can't return it because I covered it to match the new interior. O could check fit because the car is at at different location. I wa assuming SS396 would not make a mistake like that on some so simple.so now wth shipping and cost to replace fabric and travel time I'm out for over 100 bucks on $12 dollar item. Not happy with them.

Overall good. Live close to NPD, but their prices are on the high side. Even with shipping, still a good deal. Quick delivery, quality part.

Box arrived within reasonable amount of time. I haven't opened box yet due to knee surgery. Assuming all parts are inside I'm completely satisfied with the purchase.

Good experience, I would definitely order from SS396.com again.The part arrived on time. I did have to cut the dash panel as it lacks the lip on the front for the dash bezel on my 69 Nova but that was expected for a "multi" vehicle/year model dash panel.

Got part of my order then was told the other part was going to be drop shipped from the manufacturer. Now I find out it had the wrong zip code and it's now taking a ride around the country maybe some day it will get here. The 7th will be a month since I made my order.

I enjoy browsing the Ground Up SS396 site. The parts always seem to be in stock and arrive in a very timely manner, usually within 4-5 days. I have been very pleased with my overall shopping experience with SS396. More orders are forth coming.

Ordered item # DPC858 pump to carb fuel line for new style Holley carb with 3/8 inlets and 8 5/8 spread between inlets as advertised on page 117 of there latest catalog. They sent item # FPC69ZZ which is for 5/16 lines with a 9 3/8 spread. When I called about the mix up I was told I received what was ordered. I was given a RMA number to return at my expense. Just another example of companies selling parts they know nothing about.

I was initially frustrated with my experience because my order wasn't shipping, so I called customer service and asked about my order status and was then informed that my order couldn't be shipped until I verified my information, address, etc. Doesn't make much sense to me that I was not informed of the situation before I even called. I feel as though I should've been contacted by email or phone in regards to the situation. However, when I called the lady I spoke to was very helpful and got the situation figured out for me.

Orddoir panels for my 81 camaro they showed up damaged sent pictures in within an hour of receiving package. I was told to send more the next day and did still no response called again said they needed more pictures that were not on the list and sent them. Called them again today was told that they are waiting to hear from ups before they can send replacement or refund now it's going to be another week or two before I even find out if I get a refund if ups doesn't dispute it what a joke
