If you search, you'll see that wholesale direct has long standing issues with communication. Most of this is simply due to the fact thats its a relatively small operation with a small staff. It simply takes them longer to reply to people and theyre not alway able to answer the phone. I do not believe that its anything resembling a scam or a company on the edge willing to take you money down with it.
If you need immediate communication with a vender, you may want to check out another sponsor. But for quick service, youre gonna pay for it. However, if you can look past their slower response time due to being understaffed, and endure their possibly lethargic ship times, you can score a good quality set of rotors at a hell of a bargain.
*This is from what ive read aboutd WD, not my personal experience with them. Take it with a grain of salt.

So you're happy with it overall z284u2try? I really need some new rotors (my car shakes horridly when I brake) and this seems like the best deal but these problems in communication and such are scaring me ;x

Re: Order Number WDPQ8549
Thank you for your purchase from Wholesale Direct Parts, INC. Your order Is processing and will ship shortly. You will recieve an Email from UPS when the package has been recieved by them. Please look over the attached invoice and If you find anything wrong please let us know via Email so we can make the correct changes. Thank You for your order and we hope your experience with our company was a pleasant one.
The Wholesale Direct Parts Team.
Well, as the date says, that was 18 May, and no news or email, or reply to posting. Will also post up in the Sponsor feedback section. Not sure it will help since the last fiasco of a sponsor not answering the call of their duty and the lack of support to resolve the issue before the Shop owner was evicted... Anyway, will be calling again tomorrow, for the umpteenth time. Its not like my brakes are going to become true on their own!
FWIW, from reading 90% of those rec'ing their brakes they love them, but the wait is what sucks.

I've left a message w/Brian to get in touch w/me by EOB today concerning all of this. Hopefully he'll be able to get back to me and we can get this whole communication thing worked on.
EDIT : I just got off the phone w/Brian, and everything seems in order. CAT3, your order is en route, PM me if you need more details.
If you all need to get in touch w/WD in a timely fashion, they request that you give them a call at (714)666-8585. They don't get on the board as much as some of the other sponsors, I think we've all noticed that. Yet, after talking with Brian and a couple satisfied customers I don't think there has been any issues with shipment or customer service as of yet.
I myself talked to Brian about purchasing a set of rotors from him today as well, so rest assured if I am going to get my product, you all will too!

What about the #%$&ing brake pads I posted. Why no reply to me. Actually I am not very happy over all guys pads seem shitty. Not sure if they are deffetive or what. B4 this set I was running a powerslot rotor from thunder with a hawk bad and never had a problem with them. Thinking I made a mistake trying to save some money.
