Complaints about the Wholesale Direct GP on Bendix rotors

![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Just got a e-mail stating they had shipped the rotors. I was told 30+ days as they were backordered. It has been less than 3 weeks, way to go! Looking forward to putting them on.
The e-mail does state they are C5 rotors, hopefully they are C5 front and Camaro rear or instal could be a problem.
I will let you know when they get here and how they look.

I ordered my front rotors from you guys yesterday before finding this offer at LS1Tech. The order said it would ship in 48 hours.
I sent an e-mail today asking if I bought the rear rotors as well, if I could get this sale price of 149.00.
So, can I still get the sale price (already paid 113.00 for front only) and will it be shipped in 48 hours.
I would love to get the price even though I do not need rear rotors yet. BUT more importantly I need my front rotors ASAP since the current pads are worn down pretty low and I am changing them this week.
Please respond to my request as soon as you can.

Oh well. Sounded like a good deal, but no brakes and I'm not going to make a payment to my CC without the parts. If I never get the parts I'll be out of my money. I'll let my bank talk to their bank about this. I wonder if they'll make them pay interest or fine them for charging before shipping.

What I was saying is that my payment is coming up and I'm not going to make it unless I have parts in my hand so I have no choice but to deny the charges.
I've been given 3 different ship dates and the parts are still not shipped. I can't stand dishonesty. At least tell me up front it's going to take 6 months to a year. Instead of this next week we'll ship them every time I call or PM.

Dom have you called? They don't seem to do real well with emails/PMs about orders, but on the phone they were pretty good about letting us know what's up.
I understand your frustration, I was right at the breaking point, too, but if you do perhaps call them they might be able to tell you whats up.

Here we are almost a month later.
I got a track event in 2 weeks, a cruise later. I'm not going to wait any longer. I was lied to way too many times about shipping. They should have told me from the beginning there was a back order. I would have never ordered since I needed brakes ASAP. They're screwing up my entire month with their lies.

Meanwhile they're holding on to my money. Have anyone ever had a sponsor charge you before they shipped the item? I ordered so many parts from so many places and had that never happened.

When you need rotors you need rotors and not more than a month down the road. At the site they say within 48 hours I believe (I just ordered Monday before seeing this thread). If I am in the same boat as those in this offer then I will cancel the order.
My Hawke pads from UMI sjipped within 24 hours and i will have them today or tomorrow. Just in time for the wekend.

I'm sure WPD will make good on all the orders. I got mine a while back. Called up and they shipped them that day and they arrived in a weeks time (From Cali to NJ) and looked awesome. Threw them on and they work amazing. Stops are effortless and i've been using them for almost 5k miles without a single problem. They don't even make noise. I would order again from them for sure. Hope everyones order turns out alright.

We got ours Thursday and put them on Friday. They look great on the car.
The box was packed well and they made sure nothing would get damaged en route.
All in all, the process took a whole lot longer than we would've liked, but got the product and it was all correct, and a lot less than it would've been somewhere else.
We would probably order from WDP again.

My rotors cracked just like all the pictures on here with less than 5000 miles on them. I asked Brian for rotor thickness to see how they are wearing and what not. I told him about the problem he was like o we never had that problem. He said I could send them back on my own dime and they would look at them. Brian also said he would call back and I called twice after that and said forget it. I would never do business with them again. Seems like some people have good luck some don't. I notice most of my cracks formed near the cross braceing was drilled out.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up. As you know, we're having the same problems over on the corvette forums that you're having here with WDP. I won't even bother going into my whole ordeal, but wanted to post an email I received today from Bendix.
Last month, after having major problems with WDP and reading their feedback on Ebay about them using cheap after market rotors and calling them by brand names, I contacted Bendix directly. They asked me for all sorts of information about WDP and said they would look into it. Today I received an email back from Bendix stating the rotors WDP is selling are NOT Bendix rotors. I'll paste the email below.
I just wanted to let you guys know this since there's some serious safety issues here. Please do NOT take my word for it, contact Bendix yourselves to remove any doubt.
These rotors are NOT manufactured by bendix. If you want real drilled/slotted bendix rotors, call any advance auto parts stores, they can order them for you.

I know I received at least (3) different types before receiving the correct rotors.....how you can mistake diff manufacturers/numbers is beyond me, but I am hoping and praying I don't have a misfit issue.
I am sure they sent the correct fronts/rears
