Avoid buying parts from these guys. I called over the phone to order a MAF bracket for a 90 GT. The guy told me it would be $30. A little steep but since it is no longer available from Ford and I didn't have to go out and salvage it out of a yard, I said o.k.. The next day my card was hit with a $55 charge from them. I sent them the following:



I was appalled to find that I was charged $25 for shipping on a $30 part that is the size of your hand. I ordered a small bracket for the MAF on a 1990 Mustang GT. This bracket is not that big and I live in PA. If I am going to blindly get hit with these kind of shipping charges I will have to consider sticking with local recyclers and refrain from using or recommending your company.

Their reply:

Shipping & handling charges are out of our hands, Bitch at UPS!

I received the part today and it is now clear that I wasn't charged $30 for the part and $25 for shipping. They jacked the price of the part up to $40 and charged $15 for shipping.

I am guessing from the professional response that I received when I initially complained that They wouldn't give me back the $10. I sent them an email today telling them that I would have "bitched" at UPS like they said but they sent it DHL. I am new to this forum and to using forums in general. I think I will either ask you guys about parts or stick with eBay or the local boneyards.

Thanks for the responses!!

I've ordered some stuff from prestige and havent had a problem with anything, a little high, but you pay for convenience, and they often have parts on the shelf that ship the same day that you would have to wait months, or years before you ever 'came accross' in a local junkyard... And you always get a shipping quote prior to agreeing to the purchase.

ALSO... if you paid with a Visa or other creditcard, and they pulled that ****, all you would have to do is call up visa and they'll reverse the charges... I've had to do that before... of course, i did have an email saying they were going to charge one thing and an invoice saying something COMPLETELY different, but nonetheless...
