    Not that I've ordered a ton, but the few I have...something always goes wrong! The only thing that has gone smoothly is meeting Josh (aspitfire) to get my Prodrive springs.

    Otherwise, I got a used Stromung axleback off a guy on Nasioc who didn't ship it until like a week after I paypal'd him. All in all, it took my about a month and a half for that entire transaction!

    My Prosport boost gauge came to me with a cracked lens (luckily fastwrx was nice enough to send me a new one immediatly)

    Now, today I get the Kartboy short shifter that I ordered from Oakos and they sent me the one for 98-01 Impreza's...not the 02-07 one like I ordered!

    I guess nothing is easy :mad:

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune that really sucks, depending if you like MAP or not they price match and are in town.

    Other than Bielke ordering me the wrong rear brake pads twice (and he did fix it) and MAP not getting me my turbo inlet (but that was fixed when Josh at Import Image sent me one to my door for free) things have gone very smooth for me, I even ordered a Invidia bell mouth and received a divorced model at no extra cost! :) Even Perrin was a good sport when I wrote them an e-mail about the TMIC Y-pipe failure I had.

    Well I e-mailed Oakos to see what they are going to do about it. If they send me the correct shifter at and don't have me send back this one...It'll be fs.

    I hear you man. I have had many issues ordering things. I was sapose to have Qwest high speed installed today and I find out they rescheduled on me and didn't tell me. I have lots of problems with parts as well. The best service I've delt with has been throgh subaruwrxparts.com. They're good people.

    Well, with my boost gauge www.fastwrx.com had awesome customer service and I'm sure www.oakos.com will too.

    It just seems like I'm cursed. I now always expect something to be wrong when I order something.

    I think like that too! At least then your ready for disapointment, but on the other hand it might only be better than you expect.

    I've always had issues whenever it came to getting Internet services at my place.

    First, comcast came to install the cable internet and tv service, as he plugs the cable line into the tv, there was a huge freakin' spark and killed my tv. Also shocked the heck outta the install guy and he screamed like a girl (litterally, and guy has a deep ass voice too). Got them to fix the tv but it died a few weeks later and i canceled it and went with Qwest's dsl service.

    Oh, and when they sent the modem, it was signed by someone else and i didn't get it.
    Had to wait another week for the modem.
    Then the service wasn't activating at my place.
    Then when it did work, I kept getting disconnected
    Waited 2 more weeks. Install guy found the issue and tapped some other phone line to get it working (which he wasn't suppose to do)

    Got comcast again (cuz dsl sucks), and it kept disconnecting.
    Had to wait a week for repairs. Got it working.
    Then had poor connection, slow internet, had to wait another week, figures install guy did a very poor job with the cables. New guy fix, and things seem to be fine (for now)

    ^ Jeez I'm glad I went with broadband, but what does that say for the type of work they do?
