Default Pelican Parts

Has anyone dealed w/ Pelican Parts? Are they a reputable company? Quick shipper (especially parts from newer Porsches, such as Cayenne...)? I would like some feedback from people before I buy from them. Many thanks!

I like them. One of our top-tier sources, I'd say. Great bulletin board too. Use them with no worries, but might not be the cheapest.

Very reputable. I've purchased from them many times. If they do make a mistake, they fix it quick. I'm not sure how much they stock in the way of later model parts though.

I've only ordered a few small parts from them over time, but they've always done me right. I hear good things about them, too.

I use them all the time for the random bits other 944Vendors dont list. The only annoying thing about them is the harder to find parts (stuff that is not commonly bought) is usually drop shipped and takes a bit longer than most other parts that are well stocked. I am mister instant gratification and want it right after i click the 'order' button. When i say it takes longer...i mean it takes an extra 1-2 days .

They are one of the TOP players/vendors. Don't worry, be happy! You'll hear good and bad about ANY and ALL vendors. These guys are still up there in the list of vendors to use. Your experiences, and situation may vary..........who knows.

Very quick shipper, will deal with again. A+++ (generic Ebay reputation).

All kidding aside, pelican rocks. They really do ship items quick.

Hard to complain about Free Shipping on brake rotors! I've had no issues with my orders to date...

I just ordered something from then 2 weeks ago, i didn't like how they have a 3 day processing period before they ship, but oh well. I was VERY happy with the customer service.

I have used them many times and have been happy.. one time they sent me head studs instead of exhaust studs..

now finding out how much head studs cost I shouldve kept my mouth shut since I only paid 20 bucks, and returned them for the right parts!

Honestly though, I find that paragon usually has most of teh same parts they do, for a few dollars less, and ships faster.
