Anybody else waiting on parts from Year One? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My dad ordered 4 KYB shocks for his truck a month ago and still has not recieved them. He has never ordered from them before. Are they typically that slow?. The only vendor that slow is Classic Industries.

Year One, like other vendors, do not stock some of the items they sell. My guess would be that the supplier of the shocks is holding things up. Keep hounding them. I pass by the exit for Year One on my way to work but have not bought to much stuff from them (they tend to be on the high side).

It's about a 30 min. drive from my house to Year One and It isn't worth the drive to me.I don't have much experience with them but the one time I went there I found several things I didn't care for.
1) High prices
2)No showroom,just cataloges and lots of warehouses.
3)long line of people waiting for them to go dig parts out of the warehouse.

I prefer to do bussiness with the members of the BB because most of them will give you advice on the parts you buy even if you didn't buy from them.I like to see what I'm getting,or at least have a recomendation and the members of this BB will give you one.
Year One is a high volume sales co. and are in it for the money,many of the parts they sell they haven't used enough to have a good idea of whether it is the best quality available.
I met one of the people who work at Year One and he acted as if he were a public relations guy rather than a real car nut.
This is strictly my opinion and as I mentioned it is from very limited dealings with the company.
