    I placed an online order with Howell’s sheetmetal in Texas. Got an email for placing order, that was it. Nothing since the 17th. I called, twice, and just left my order number and phone number. Line is either busy, or I get answering machine. Not in a panic, just wondering if anyone has had experience with them. Thanks, Don

  2. If you did a search. You would have seen many issues with them.
     
  3. Yes, do a search to see you are not alone. I bought several panels from them off of Ebay and did not have a problem. So I think if you order direct from them is when you get slow service.

    Don't order direct from them. Support one of their vendors for better service. I personally think they should shut down the direct mail order department and just go wholesale. Jmho

    I bought some patch panels for my Model A from them. Don't remember it taking as long as I was told it could to get them. They are still in the basement waiting for me to get off my ass and use them 5 or 6 years later :)

    BE PATIENT, BE VERY PATIENT! Keep pestering him constantly, eventually he does answer the phone and he will tell you your order is going out this week. Then next week you can start the process all over and over. Eventually you will get your order but you won't be impressed, especially if you ordered a trunk skin.

    Actually, it was a middleman vendor on ebay. My problem is actually with them not Howell. My bad!
