Default Pelican Parts Rocks!!

I'm so glad they are relatively local to me.

We've had some rain here in SoCal, and I've noticed my wipers are chatting a bit. Went on to the Pelican parts website yesterday morning and ordered a set of the Bosch wipers. They were delivered to me this morning at 7:30 AM.

Installed and clay bar'ed my windshield and they are nice and smooth.

Us SoCal guys are so lucky to have them close by.

Pelican is no offense, terrible. You could have had them shipped from amazon with the same speed at probably 2/3 the price. Pelican prices are silly high on everything but a few items. Their shipping to the east coast is expensive and slow.

FCP Euro for the win.

Actually, the price on Amazon for the wipers was about the same. I wouldn't have had to pay shipping, but I would have received them in 2 days, not 1 day.

I haven't had issue with pricing on other stuff I've ordered from them. Ordered some brake rotors and pads a few months ago and found the pricing reasonable and similar to other on-line sources.

Ive had only positive experiences with them, and will continue to use them.

If prices are close, I always go with Pelican. I like how they support DIY projects on their website for all us Porsche owners. Before I start a project I always check two places, this website and Pelican parts.

I've only had good experiences with Pelican.... not always the cheapest, but always great service. Umm... oops, edit: I didn't have a good experience from them with Corteco engine mounts, but they were good about it, they took them back and refunded my money no problems.

Peace

Pelican usually has 4 or 5 options for every part ranging from OEM to after market suppliers. The price range also varies depending on what you choose. I've never had a problem with Pelican and give them a big thumbs up.

I've ordered from Pelican a bunch of times, I got nothing bad to report. Once they sent an incompatible part. No problem, they just credited me for it. A couple of times I got different guys on the phone who knew 997s inside out and knew the parts they were selling very well. That's really rare when it comes to parts stores and super helpful.
