    I ordered a finned aluminum dash insert from Early Ford. Got nothing of a confirmation nor charge on my card for a little over 2 months, so long I'd forgotten about the order and bought a dash from somewhere else.
    When it shipped they said just send it back for a refund. They've now had the dash back for 2 weeks, I've called 3 times and they were going to process the refund right away... still nothing.

    Looks like everyone else has been happy, but man they've been SLLLLOOOOOOOWWWW for me!

    ^^^ x2

    The dreaded chargeback does have teeth.

    I would call them and tell them they have 24 hours to process the refund or you will be contacting your credit card company to initiate a chargeback. Each chargeback against a co IS a big deal and if enough, impacts their CC rates.

    Funny!
    I had to do the same thing with a vendor. He got charged back and the problem was taken care of.

    As far as I'm concerned that place is a joke. Paid big bucks for a rebuilt 39 ****** that jumped out of second gear after a week. Didn't learn my lesson and paid too much for a 40 ford wheel. Asked them over the phone for a straight one as I already had a very wobbly one. The one they sent me was worse, like an inch of runout. I won't do business with those crooks ever again.

    I'm in Australia and buy a lot from them. Good prices, fast shipping and good quality.

    Since a beef with a vendor is being aired in a public forum, let's make sure which "Early Ford" you're talking about. I'd hate for a good vendor to get a bad name. I'm guessing you're not talking about the one in San Dimas that Jalopy Joker posted a pic of. They've always been straight up with me. Good people.

    Yes, San Dimas. I'm good with them now, but I'll probably not return my business to there. 3 month circle for a dash plate.

    I also have had issues with them. They will not email me back or call me on a part I was looking at needless to say I took my business elsewhere.
