Has any one ordered anything from Ecklers Corvette Parts & Supplies?
I ordered some stuff back in August and still haven't received anything, all I keep
hearing it's on back order.
I can see a few weeks, but now it's turned into 3 months, I just want to caution anyone
ordering from these people, just hope you don't need anything fast!

Eckler's is not what it used to be. I've had some issues with them in the past on parts they didn't have "in stock", even tho they told me when I ordered them they WERE. Of course, they don't actually manufacture everything they sell, so they sometimes are at the mercy of their suppliers.
3 months is too long to wait....I'd have to demand a refund. There are other parts suppliers out there.

i would check other places. sometimes there is a back order on something with all the places. had to wait two months for a proportioning valve for my 75 but again that was a case where no one had it. i have always had pretty good luck with ecklers.

When I bought my '86 back in '85, I purchased several things from Ecklers. They had good, prompt service. I tend to go with Zip and Corvette Central now as I have had better luck lately.
I ordered some parts Monday night and received them today.

any of those suppliers are good. i know each of them have some parts the other doesn't. i always check everyone and see availability and price and then decide who to buy from.

Not bashing Eckler's here. I've had dealings with most of the Corvette parts vendors over the years, and had minor problems with then all, in one way or another. It's how they handle the issue that makes the biggest difference. I gotta say, in that respect, I've had the best dealings with Rik's, and Zip. 
I've never been able to get anything from CC except toys/t-shirts and such. They have never actually had any of the parts I needed.
Go figure!

Never had any problems with Ecklers, and i have ordered quite a bit from them. I have spread mine around from several sources, Zips, Corvette Central, Ecklers, Volunteer Vette just all depends on who had what i needed and the price, haven't really had any problems with any of them.
I just oredered and received and installed my new front air dam, roof strorage mount covers, and the little lug nut cleaner tool from Ecklers. No problems at all and very happy with the merchandise.Trooper 2010-11-12 06:20:58

Check out Corvette America www.corvetteamerica.com. A lot of the items you get from the above mentioned vendors get THEIR stuff from them. I've seen times when I received somethng from
e.g. MAM and it has a CorvetteAmerica sticker on the part.
