The one thing I do realize when ordering any aftermarket parts, Everything is weeks out. I have been around the aftermarket scene for many different vehicles. This by far is the worst. Especially for an impatient person like myself. :ROFLMAO:

At least you have options. You should’ve been here back in 2020 when there was no aftermarket support and parts were barely trickling in. What you have is called a “first world“ problem.

I just have an impatience problem. Just about everything I have ordered is 3 weeks to a month out. Shoot I ordered all of my FenFab parts before I even got my truck.

I am not going to bring in actual businesses to this. It was not to trash anyone. Just an observation. Everything I have ordered has arrived so far just not in a timely manner.

Respect then, reason I ask is a lot of parts are made to order so that may be why.

Definitely understand the made to order especially on high dollar parts. But some of the parts shouldn't take as long as they do. Like I said It's more or less my impatience.

I'm finding many parts I order make no mention of backorder on the website then later find they have a manufacturing run later and the part is delayed. Sometimes I have had to wait for more than one manufacturing run as they fill prior back orders. If you are expecting a part quickly, reach out to the source prior to ordering to confirm availability because the websites I have found are not reporting backorders.

Some retailers stock product. Some just drop ship. Many do both. If I am worried about speed of delivery, I will contact them before I order. My Waido splitter took over two months to produce and ship.
