This is a Special Order Item
The Manufacturer Offers Drop Shipments For Special Order Items: Yes
Manufacturer's Drop Ship Fee For Special Order items If Desired: $ 5.00
ARP Drop Ship Special Orders typically ship in 1 day. Please confirm availability if delivery is critical.
The customer elected not to pay the $5.00 drop ship fee and instead had us add it to a stocking order. We were not immediately able to provide an ETA as we were unsure when the stocking order was going to be placed.
We have a company policy that we do not and will not tolerate any form of verbal abuse from customers. After one warning we will hang up and wait for a sane, rational email to answer questions. We feel this policy is consistent with most businesses in most industries.”

A week or so ago we received a call from the customer that he was having an issue with it and asked for assistance with the manufacturer. We received the call after hours so we had to wait until the next morning to take action.
Keep in mind, as the brake kit was long out of warranty, neither us or the manufacturer were under any obligation what so ever to take any action. Also, all warranty issues are handled directly by manufacturers unless the manufacturer specifically directs us otherwise. However, we were sympathetic to the customer and I placed a call to the Wholesale Sales Manager of the manufacturer and asked that they please look into the matter and gave hime all of the details of the original purchase. He assured me that he would have one of their tech contact the customer and resolve the issue.
A few days later I received a phone call from the same executive that the problem had been diagnosed and replacement parts were shipped to the customer at no charge. Case closed.
This review is totally unjust and it's hard to believe how a customer can be so ungrateful for us going way above and beyond rather than just saying sorry, it's out of warranty.
Please note that our Google Review score is 4.7 out of 5 exactly equivalent to Summit Racing, .2 better than Amazon and.4 better than Buy.com”

Our Terms of Sale state that Special Order products are not returnable. The customer ordered a part that was clearly identified within the item description in big red bold letters " This is a Special Order Product". The customer placed the order and we delivered the product within 2 weeks. After the product was delivered the customer realized he ordered the wrong part. He then requested information on submitting a RMA request so we directed him to our Return Policy on our site. As with any reseller in the industry, special order products are not returnable. We are not unique with this policy as it's an accepted industry wide standard. The RMA request was denied in an email on November 23rd but the customer ignored it and continues to press for a RMA.”
"I had a great experience with Race-Mart. I placed an order and 7 days later it was at my house even though the web site said it wouldn't ship for 7-10 day.... it was a great surprise! The prices are the lowest I've found online and that is with the shipping included. I can't comment on the customer service because I had no need to call. Already shopping and going to place another order soon!"
