I ordered my headlights and corner lights on eBay and they never told me that the suckers are on BACKORDER! I sent them three emails and didn't hear a word from them. So yesterday I got eBay's help in getting the phone number. I called them up and they tell me that the lights are all on backorder for another two weeks. Well I really cant wait another two weeks for these lights. The best was they weren't even sure it was only going to be two weeks! UGH!
So can someone help me find them that are NOT on backorder? eBay's listers shouldn't put up auctions on backordered parts like that... or at least put it on the ad that its on backorder.
I'm thinking I might wind up with the clear Halo lights instead of the black ones just so I can get my fingers on them faster. I have to put the nose back together properly.

Some of these companys know if they delay enough time you wont be able to go back on with if you paid with paypal, due to paypal has a time limit you can file a complaint. I would be supper careful and ALWAYS read their feedback before bidding.
This is a SUPPER DOWN FALL to Ebay/paypal (one in the same company). They don't really protect you from FRAUD or SCAMS. I know I have two class actions against Paypal for simular reasons.

All that does is justify my reason for buying close to home.
I recently made my first internet purchase, a computer from Dell. I got everything within three weeks....except the moniter. The moniter took another 3 weeks, so for three weeks I had a totally useless computer.
They sent me a $50 discount cupon for the inconvenience towards a future purchase. Whoopie.

I bought from GT_Racers, which I had gotten their phone number, called them and asked them what they could do. I explained that I needed those lights ASAP and I couldnt wait for a backorder. I also asked why they had the auction up without a warning that the parts would be a bit of a wait... so within 20 minutes I had a FULL refund!
So at least they were good about that. :)

thanks... i just placed yet another order for the lights. I'd love to buy "close to home" but no one seems to have them! they have these really ugly lights that there is NO way they are going on my truck! hah!
anyways i'll just wait now for the new ones and hope that they come in properly.
