Default FYI. Bad dealings with Corvette Originals from Corvettes@Carlisle

Well I just got off the phone again with Corvette Originals. I purchased molded floor mats for my 2000 C5 and a padded leather center console cover. Total cost $160.00. Purchased these on Saturday/25th at Corvettes at Carlisle in August.2007. I was told that it could take 2-3 weeks to receive the items. after 4.5 weeks I received the floor mats. OK a little excessive but I'm not that picky of a person. So I call after the 5th week and say uhhh was the floor mats supposed to have the center console in it? The way the box was I figured that it was not hence why I waited a couple more days. Told no it was not to come with they remember my order and they just didnt get to making the console covers yet. I mentioned I was to have them in 2-3weeks from the show. He said it will be made next week and shipped right away. Here we are over 10weeks later and no center console cover. So I call and yes I remember you and they have a bunch laying around and I'll get one out to you tomorrow right away. Lets me know he went away and he said to ship it but they didnt. I was so pissed I didnt even know what to say. I just mentioned are you sure what one is to be mine? He's like yeah the one with the red corvette logo. So I politely correct no sir my center console cover is to be black with corvette in red with a silver logo. Who knows what I would have gotten if I didnt correct him. I'll give it to the end of the week/Friday and keep things posted. I'm just really pissed that vendor at Carlisle when all vendors are saying hey buy here and it'll ship free or you'll have it in a week or so and this is what I'm dealing with. I can't speak for others but for me its hard to pay for something at a event like Carlisle and hope it comes. To me thats part of going up there is you can see it, touch it, feel it, smell it whatever and pay for it and you got it!!!

Well I'm sorry for the rant just so pissed right now. I'm a easy going patient person and when I want something right I'll wait if its necessary. 10plus weeks to receive a center console cover is a bit disheartening IMO.

I'm sorry about your dealings with Corvette Originals. I bought a set of 2-tone custom leather seat skins with C5 emblem and a matching center console cover from them at Carlisle as well. The price was about 1/2 that of the other sources. I received mine in about 6-7 weeks, order complete and install finished as well.

I hope Dennis (I remember his name) can straighten out your order. It won't bode well with others on the forum and could hurt his business next year. You may want to mention that business can be promoted by word of mouth, but also lost by the same

I will say, he does provide a great product, so hopefully the wait and aggrevation will be worth it.

Good Luck

Ed

Did you ever get your order correctly??

I ordered some Lloyds from him at the Corvette Expo in TN several weeks back. I guess I had best call.....
