Just wondering if anybody has dealt with Parts Mike before?
Was it a good experience? Would you deal with them again or recommend?

I ordered some stuff (T-18 short-shaft trans. kit) about 12 years ago and never received all parts ordered. I was told they were back ordered and being sent but never received parts and no refund or contact back from them. I know, I should have followed up but busy time of my life and project on hold. (marriage and kid).
Well, here we are in 2014 and I'm trying to get back on the project(s) that have been sitting. I needed those parts. I ordered what I needed. Didn't even talk about the past, just ordered the parts I needed. ( Pilot bushing for t-18 and amc crank, syncro's, etc.). I also ordered a few extra parts that I wanted. (Clutch fork boot, trans mount, etc.) I ordered these parts on 3/7 (Friday) told they would ship Monday 3/10 from CA. Called back on 3/18 since their website didn't show any update since "received payment on 3/7. I was told the shipping guy was gone for the day. (4:30 PST) He would call me back in the morning. No call by lunch (their time) the next day. I called them back to be told they just received some of the parts and they would ship that day(3/19). I finally got the parts on 3/25 and it is missing the (2) clutch boots! I was shipped 3 day select. I paid $24.26 for shipping/handling. This was a box 6"x6"x4.5" and weighed 3-5lbs? It was (1) trans mount, (2) sycro rings, a spring and washer for shifter retainer, and (1) pilot bushing.
I'm calling them Monday 3/31 to see what they say. Just wondering if anybody has a good dealings with them. So far I don't think I will be dealing with them again. Just trying to give them a chance if other people have been happy with them. Let me know......
 
Ordered from them several times. Very helpful, I have nothing but good things to say about them.
 
Thanks GONOVRIT!
 
Wow, I haven't even heard that name in a very long time He was probably one of the first "jeep" experts I stumbled on when I first got on the internet, mid/late 90s. I think this is the first bad parts mike post I've ever seen!
 
I'm with Renegade T. Been a long while. But I bought a many of transfer case gasket kits back in the day Advanced Auto would laugh at me. Now day's I'd say you can get t-case gaskets at AA??
 
Guys, thanks for all the replies! I guess that this was probably just my luck! And my luck hasn't changed!

I called them, they drop shipped my 2 clutch boots. Looks like straight from Omix-ada. I have been working long hours this week. My daughter said they got here on Thursday. I opened the box last night and they are the wrong parts! They sent boots for 72-75 CJ instead of 76-79 CJ. Looks like the part numbers got confused between my on-line order and the shipping pack list. Correct number on my order history (seen on their website), wrong number on packing list with parts! Guess I call them Monday.

THANKS again for ALL the replies...sounds like my luck just hasn't changed.
