Your order was placed on January 2nd. On January 8th, we emailed you to inform you that the item you requested was out of stock, but returning on January 17th. The email also apologized for this delay and stated that we would gladly cancel your order if you could not wait. The email also said that if the restock date was OK for you, no further action was required and that we would keep the order open and ship it when it came in stock.
We received no reply to this email, so we assumed that the restock date worked for you and you wanted us to ship it on the 17th.
On January 10th at 12:23pm, you sent an email informing us that you'd placed an order, "on 1-3-13 and still have no estimated delivery date and never had anything sent to my email".
Exactly 2 minutes later, Sheriden Dawes of our customer care team responded to you stating that we had sent you an email on the 8th about the order not being in stock. She attached a copy of that email to her reply. Again, we received no reply.
On January 15th, you called to inform us that you wanted to cancel the order because you had found it in stock elsewhere. You also asked why you were never contacted and were informed that we sent numerous emails, both informing you of what was taking place and in reply to your inquiries. You then directed us to send copies of the emails to a different email address, which we gladly did.
Your order was cancelled on the 15th and a refund was issued.
We strive to keep our customers informed during every part of the ordering process. Sometimes items go out of stock and, when that happens, we immediately notify the customer with an option to wait or to cancel. It seems that in this case, our emails were not being received which you took as us ignoring you. Hopefully, you received the copies of the emails you requested to your secondary email address, which we hope was functioning correctly. As such, you could see that we were very informative about your order every step of the way. It is a shame that after seeing this evidence, you still chose to review our site in the manner in which you did. Our process functioned exactly as they were designed and our goal of keeping the customer informed was met from our end. Unfortunately, we cannot control a customer's email account and it's ability or inability to function properly.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jon Levine
Director of Marketing

"If I could give a negative star I probably would. Ordered part 3 weeks ago, they charged my card immediately then I didn't hear anything. Waited and waited, sent them an email then never heard back after they confirmed my email was sent and that I would hear back within 24 hours. Five days after sending the email I finally was fed up and called and BIG SURPRISE! The item is supposedly on "back order" just like ever other horrible reviewers. Funny thing, I ordered the part from another website and it shipped THE SAME DAY and was in stock. I will never do business with this company again. I was also told at the time of my order that it was in Stock and told a a story today that the "In Stock" isn't a live thing. Why even have it then?! And why charge my card immediately if its on back order?! Final say: don't do business with this company and their poor business practices. edited to add: I find it very amusing that the person responding to the emails continually places the blame on everyone else but themselves as you can see based on their "comment" below. I also find it very amusing that I was emailed as he stated but I received the other emails with no problem yet cannot find in any inbox or spam folder this response. And I will review based on the events at hand. I feel like they do nothing but try to bully people into giving 5 stars. The BBB will be contacted about this company and their business practices. I stand by my previous complaint."
