Unhappy GMPartsDirect.com Question

Anyone ever get a "special ordered" for the status?

Order Status:
Special Ordered


Does this mean its going to take 6 months before I receive my wheels?

I had to order some AC parts a few years back (broke a line doing my cam install) and it was special order... took about 3 weeks to get it

I've been going through SDPC for the past year though and have had great luck...

When I was doing my cam swap, I ordered something that was special ordered, and it came at the same time as everything else. Just 1 week after I ordered

I've had special ordered stuff take a couple of weeks to get here, and sometimes longer. ordered new front marker lights in march, got special ordered, and it took almost 4 weeks to the day, but they did show up. I just find it irritating that they don't tell you before you order, (or if they do, I have never noticed)

I have always received everything I ordered, but sometimes it takes a looooong time.

Ya know, I tend to wonder why people deal with GMPartsDirect.com - when you can pick up a phone and give Kris at SDPC a shout, and check on things anytime you need to. No wondering about anything there...

Can't help the current situation, but in the future, think about it.
