Question on buying gears from buyfordracing.com
Well I found that buyfordracing.com has 4.10's on sale for $139 with free shipping and no tax! Well, one thing is bugging me...When you go to the page that shows the gears, it states "All Year 8.8" 4.10 Ring Gear & Pinion Set." Wtf does "All Year" mean? This is just a normal set of FRPP 4.10's, right? I just want to make sure I'm not getting something else...

I wouldn't buy your gears from there. Read here.
Due to the number of orders our company processes each day, we DO NOT release tracking numbers / information. If you would like to estimate when your order will arrive, please refer to the chart below.
So, I feel he was in the wrong, especially being that it was a National holiday followed by a weekend.
EDIT:
After reading more, I feel both sides were wrong. But a vendor should NEVER talk to/about anyone that way, especially on a forum. Oh well, guess I'll just spend the extra $25 and get them from AM.
Double Edit
Everyone on our forum seems to be calling him out...WTF...I'm confused...

Anyway, for that price, I would be all over those gears.

I tried buying from them, gears as well. Was concerned whether they were "A". was told bluntly, "Ford Racing only has one 4.10 gearset. It is that one. I have no idea what a "slinger" is." Had to explain slinger was washer between outer pinon bearing and flange.
When finally decided to buy gears from them as their price was best and no shipping I mistakenly gave them the wrong Credit Card verification number. They canceled my order and even though I caught this that same day with an email to them with the right number and follow up with two more emails the following morning asking them if they tried the right number. I suggested that if they wouldn't help me out I would have to go to AM for the gears. They did not confirm that they tried the proper verification number and sent this reply, "Maybe they can get the card to accept a charge for $139. We tried to get you to go somewhere else over a week ago. Now you're in a hurry with a credit card that won't approve $139 charge."
As the order was canceled already I simply went to Late Model Restorations and they matched the price and for 14.99 shipping I'm getting the gears this Friday, having received the tracking number a few hours after my call yesterday (Tuesday).
BuyFordRacing does respond quickly to emails, but their irritation really shows up quickly. Have utilized other places where I have mistakenly used the wrong verification number and they have always contacted me back to correct this and proceeded with the order.
