coker tire wait?

umm just a quick question..how long did most of you wait for your order from coker? i made an order just before christmas online. i still haven't heard anything back from them. i sent an email to store@coker.com, not an angry one, just a "wondering how my order is"

i only ordered two 15x5 rims, and hubcaps with rings.

im up in canada, so was wondering if thats a problem...

thx

 

George Moir should have those in stock in Edmonton.. why order from down south..

 

My dad too ordered 2 15x 5 chrome wheels and tires just before x-mas and they told him 2 weeks , well still not here and they told him Feb 25th, he told them to stick it, and he ordered them elsewhere. But I just ordered a tire 4 days ago and it should be here tomorrow. go figure???

 

when i ordered tires i get them within a week..

 

I ordered bias-ply Firestones for my A p/u and got them the next day.

 

it took me 3 months to get the ribbed 16"front runners for my car
but that was at the hight of the gas price and firestone was way behind for some reason
maybe its not there fault.... it could be there supplier
tk

 

I would call them on the 'phone, talk to a person. I don't have much luck emailing anybody.

 

i got mine in 8 days in okla

 

crazy part of buying from them for me , is that it takes at least a week to get my orders....and i'm in kentucky... i did order some at the end of the year back in 05, and those took 2 weeks....bought some at the hot rod and resto show at indy in 07....had those in 3 days..

 

Cokers customer service is usually pretty good... call 'em.

 

Good things take time. Patience, gr***hopper.

 

I just got a set of 4 WWW radials, ordered on Monday, one arrived on Weds. and the others on Thurs.
Wheels, on the other hand, come from Wheel Vintiques, a subsidary of Coker, I believe. Last time I ordered from them, it DID take a long time to get (months, in one case, usually a few weeks in others)

 

call charles at extention 251, he does me a great job!

 

They are probably at Canada Customs, with them trying to decide how much they are going to stick it to you . Then UPS gets their shot at you for brokers fees and transfer fees. NEVER NEVER have them delivered unless you are willing to PAY big time.

 

probably because coker is using companies like wheel vintiques to supply the wheels. if i were buying wheels, i would get them somewhere other than a tire manufacture.

 

What he said. You ordered wheels. They manufacture tires.

 

Coker's wheels come from Wheel Vintiques...I ship to Canada frequently...It has taken a little while because of customs...not that long though...I would call them and find out. I get all my tires from them...Jason

 

I order tools for the shop from an outfit in Canada and it always seems to take like a month, maybe it's the Customs thing.

 

This is old useless info, but I was so impressed at the time..... Around 1991 I ordered 4 new all white antique tires from Coker by phone around 4pm one day. 22 hours later they showed up!

Maybe things have changed, maybe not. The UPS guy even opened my porch and put them indoors so they would not get stolen.

I would suspect the Canadian shipping myself. I had 2 wheels shipped seperately from a ebay dealer in Canada. One took a week, the other one was 2 MORE weeks after the first one. He could not ship them in one box due to weight.

 

good thing you ordered before the new year. their prices went up 9% since then..

Contact Charles or Lamar they are really good guys and will take care of you very quickly..

good luck! C

 

I ordered four tires and tubes right before Christmas and had them within five days. I also got 10% off being a H.A.M.B Alliance Member. No problem with Cooker here!

 

Canadas postal system REALLY ****S its slow when it come over the boarders either way!!! Customs has no idea of what is going on, just over paid lazy *****s!

 

I got mine in 5 days (Toronto)

 

they also have an live on line contact at their web site that you can talk to them with.
If they're coming ups look at almost double by the time ups is finished with you !!

 

i have the email from them right when i placed the order, and thats it....the order status is just "queued"

hmmm..i'll wait a little more, then maybe cancel...im in no rush for them, but wouldn't mind having them within the next month.

 

If they can't get them to you, let me know.. Jason

 

About thirty seconds...............just enough time to walk from the office to the tire machine. Coker has a wharehouse about four miles from my house.

 

Good info to know Muttley thanks.

 

Just to repeat it....it's wheels he ordered, not tires.......call and ***** a little, the guys in Coker are good, but Wheel Vintiques are pretty slow with custom orders!

 

Hey guys,

Please email me direct if you are having problems. I'll look into it ASAP. We usually ship within 24 hours of order placement.

Thanks,

Jess
