Thumbs down thepartladi

Very disappointed in the product. I got one from her/him whomever it may be, not going was the case cracked, but it took 8 days to get. and I just put my old cap on it cause the cap was newish and the damn thing is DOA. Very upset, poor customer service. I have tried to call them several times with no answer. Back to the dealership I go.

No problems with any parts I ordered. 4 days wait for most stuff and packaged well. Sorry about your luck.

yeah, it sucked I even thought I was going crazy...so I had my buddy come over I swapped his coil ICM and computer, still nothing. and fuel is good... I'm trying to send it back, but I want to tell them what happened first. so they don't just get it back and go wtf... and to tell you the truth it wasn't packaged well at all.. it was in a box with peanuts but in side was another box where it was just floating around...and we all know UPS drivers suck.

I've never heard anyone complain about thepartsladi. Isn't their EBay rep close to 100? It will be interesting to see how they respond. Perhaps UPS is at fault.

What kind of item are we talking about? I actually bought new stereo speakers (factory monsoon replacements) from them via eBay. Price was good and no issues.

99.9% sure we're talking about an Opti.

This is the first complaint I've seen about her as well! Everyone on the forums here generally recommends going through them for a real Delco Opti.

Getting in touch with them shouldn't be all that hard I wouldn't think. Either via eBay message or I'm sure you can reverse-look up their phone number on whitepages.com with the address on the box.

I've never bought anything from them, but I have inquired about some of their products via email. They always responded in a timely manner.

They probably are a dropship company and never even see the material, making it almost impossible for refunds.

When the EBay unit fails, which is very likely from what I can gather, you'll be happy to have an oem replacement piece.

I heard they all have that crack on them. Someone made a thread with pictures not too long ago and a couple other people said they received them like that and that it's actually not a crack but a casting mark or something.
