I've been a big fan of buying car parts from on line sites. They seem a good value. Except that I have had a near consistent supply of miss-shipped and un needed and defective parts. Am I just unlucky or does everyone get miss-shipments?

Here’s a list of some of the defective or incorrect car related stuff I've received over the last several years:

broken headlight assy
wrong distributor cap sent
brake rotor that warped about 2 weeks after install
brake pad kits plus un needed but paid for extra wear sensors
broken CD changer
miss manufactured radiator
sometimes parts are ordered and paid for but not shipped

I am not naming names, as this is not an attempt to slam anyone or any company.

The simple truth is by the time that lost time plus the need to ship the bozo parts back at my expense, plus, inevitably the time to replace the parts with the right one have all been added up, the value is far less than what it seems on the surface.

Comments?
