The problem I see with a lot of online vendors is you order something then after you pay they inform you that they don't have it in stock and it dosen't say it's not in stock on their site. Now there are a few sites that state if it is in stock or you need to call to check (Gruppe-S). Some vendors seems that they figure they got your money so now your stuck dealing with them..Which sucks for us being out here we have to order the majority of our parts online. Not all online vendors are bad there are some really good ones but the few that suck kinda ruin it for the rest.

world one is awesome. i have ordered from them with no problems. usps tracking sucks. you won't get any updates untill after you get it. you can call world one for updates b/c usps sends them to the sender not the reciever, but you shouldn't have any probs.

Garrett sounds like a down to earth guy...we'll see.

Well...I did fall in the Vivid trap. It was my mistake for not looking at the SELLER on ebay. I was suckered into buying something from them and now I'm paying for the problems. I was able to work out a good enough deal with them and I just recieved email with tracking number for my parts. Hope all is good when I recieve it on Friday (scheduled delivery date). I've only ever ordered from Z1 which is not bad. They were cool about exchanging my ordered Blitz SUS to an LM and refunded me some of the $$. I'm beginning to get very cautious of Ebay buying but you do get good deals but you can also get screwed...need to pay more attention to ALL details and not just a few.
