SS396.com bad experience
I called the location in Palm Coast and told them I wanted to order a sheetmetal firewall and dashpad for a 73 Nova. I told the lady I would drive to their location to pickup the parts to save shipping. She said thats fine but I should pay in advance so the parts would be pulled and waiting on my arrival. So I paid over the phone. I get there and have to wait for the parts to be pulled. So much for paying in advance. Unfortunately, the firewall was bent and not usable. They told me it was supposed to be bent that way when we both know better! I told them no, that it was not usable. The air conditioning suitcase will not seal to the firewall when the heater opening is bent ineard 2 inches on one side. They offered to drop ship one because they only had the one in inventory, but said I had to pay the $160 shipping. Why would I do that when they stated “all” of their inventory had the same damage, and that OER manufactures all of them with the same poor quality? I would just end up having to pay return shipping and a restocking fee! No thanks. I said just refund me and they said they would but that I had to wait 5 days for my refund. They got my money immediately, but want to hang onto it 5 days before giving it back. I drove 6 hours for this? Poor customer service and they offered NO solution. Only finger pointing. The guy up front was very nice and polite. Cant argue with that. But ss396.com is not a customer friendly company when something goes wrong. Buyer beware. ss396.com is a Fairweather Supplier.
