Default Willcox Wholesale Corvette Parts

Came across this Parts Supplier on Ebay, does anyone have any experience with them. Their prices look reasonable, but I'm always concerned about "made in China" parts when buying online.

They are a legit corvette vendor. I have never personally bought from them, but several forum members here have. I'm sure their products aren't cheap quality.

I bought door panels, complete carpeting, arm rests and mats for my '79 from Wilcox. It is all good quality, shipped fast and was very reasonably priced.

Wilcox is a member of the Corvette Restoration and Preservation List (CRPL) which is a forum type of group that I am a member of also. They are very active in this group and offer much free help/advice. They appear to be very reputable and are very fair with their prices.

Are Willcox parts made in China? Wow things have really changed, 30 year old repro parts made in China (for cars that have never been there).

Have ordered from them a number of times. Very good prices.
Potential issues are they do not stock a lot of items but order them as
they receive orders and in many cases have the items drop shipped from
the supplier. So delivery is slower than a vender like Zip, that
keeps the inventory in stock.

If you have problems with damage from shipping or product quality and you
contact Wilcox, they will contact the vendor and defer resolution of
the problem to the vendor. As compared to a vendor like Zip that will
resolve the problem with you.

I purchased something from them on eBAY and it never came. I sent an email and they bent over backwards getting my package resent.

Great customer service and good prices to boot!!!!

I have found cheaper prices when vendors operate this way. I can wait...if it costs me less.

Before you buy from ebay from them call them for a price I found that most of there stuff goes for more on ebay than you can buy it direct. I have bought almost all of my parts from Wilcox most items are shipped in a day or two and they are very helpful and any problems you have they will even tell you where to get a part cheaper if they can. Its the best place I have used for parts so far!!!

I had good experience wit them and I've got a buddy that bought his carpet from them. Inexpensive and it looked just like my ACC Carpet set to me which I paid more for.
