American Parts Depot

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

When buying stuff from a vendor, if the sale "goes right" it
doesn't matter if the vendor is any good or not. The real testis
what happens when things go wrong!

So I bought this AMC T150, OD, bell, flywheel, plate, yoke from
American Parts Depot. They're on the Least Coast, I'm on the Left
Coast, so shipping is ouch. Probably $125, truck freight.

A week later the shipper calls me -- $392 C.O.D.!!

So I called up Doug (this is the last work day before Christmas --
of course) left a message, expecting some sort of stress -- nope.
A simple clerical error, didn't check "USED PARTS" on the
paperwork. Another week went buy for the shipper (Overnight) to
"research" it. Eventually it went for the USED price. Whew!

APD didn't freak out (I admit I did), didn't blame me, didn't
blame Overnight, didn't blame anyone, they just checked it out,
worked at it, solved it.  Clearly I'll be ordering from them
again.
