I ordered some things today for the first time from Pelican, since Phil passed away. He was a class act that can`t be replaced.
sure miss him and you could BS with him about MB cars if he wasn`t busy or other things until he got another call.
He knew where to locate things from his years in the Auto Part business. If he had to search to find something, he would alway get back to you with a call or E-mail.
I decided to order the Prechamber Lock Ring remover tool and the Prechamber tool and some PC Seal rings.
The guy I talked to (nice guy) is a BMW guy and definately not a lover of Diesels.
I think the only things they know is what is on the computer screen in front of them as far as MB`s go. maybe different if I had a BMW and needed parts for it. since we became part of the Pelican, or actually they bought the Forum, we are the Red Headed Step Child. Or feel like it.
I have purchase things from Phill and Fastlane, Allpartsexpress, and used my credit card. now with Pelican, Iam not in their system and had to start out brand new. evidently the info Phil had never got sent to Pelican Parts.
Now since Iam a new purchaser as far as they are concerned, and I have a PO Box for my CC mailing address, (mainly because the home mail box is down on the County Rd) where the important stuff goes, bills money etc.... (feel free to send all donations to the po box
) they would have required me to send them a Fax of my I.D. if it was to be sent to the home address. so the first order is being sent to my P.O. Box.
Any additional orders then can be sent to the home address. this is a first for me, with this order or any other order from whom ever I bought things from.
Have any of you come across this since the take over?
