NPD catalog

[67ChevyRedneck]

Unlike a lot of Suppliers, NPD actually keeps their inventory "in stock" at their locations. That way, they can control their inventory and shipping times. It's very $ to keep inventory, so a lot of places drop ship their inventory from the supplier. You can't control your shipping times that way... your at the mercy of the supplier.

The truck line is new, so there will likely be some issues at first, and they're not just introducing 67-72, but an entire GM truck line. If you go online you can see what locations have the parts you want. I'd guess in 6 months or so they should be able to keep stuff in stock.

Florida is their "home office" and largest store/warehouse, so it makes sense FL would be fully stocked first.

Whatever random part I have ordered for my Mustang or Firebird projects, they've been "in stock" in the NC facility 98% of the time. I've spent *thousands* with them between my two projects. One time, a part and instructions were missing from a brake kit I bought from them. I was converting my 65 Mustang from non power single bowl MS (NOT SAFE!) to a dual bowl power set up. Their customer service was great. They OVERNIGHTED the missing piece and instructions from another kit from FL to SC even after I told them that standard shipping was fine. According to the box it was $30 for shipping.

Yes, I noticed the green check boxes or red Xs indicating where the parts where in stock, so I already knew parts were coming from Florida. So if you're in Socal and you order parts no matter where they're stocked then, NPD will use the stats and start stocking more parts.... I think!

I most likely wont be purchasing anything from them even though they are a couple hours from me. They don't carry GMC stuff or Blazer or Jimmy items????????????
