So who all bought stuff from IPS's Black Friday sale?

[whitedevilstealth]

I ordered some stuff from IPS from their Black friday sale. Just wondering if anybody else did and if you got your stuff yet. I've been waiting 2 weeks now and still no info on my stuff. I know they were very busy with the sale and have been kind of a pain in the butt, calling them all the time, but I spent almost 2k and want my parts. The only e-mails I have gotten from them is telling me that the orders are processing and that was last week. I like IPS and buy a lot of stuff from them but this is getting kind of annoying.

[green-lantern]

I bought 19t’s about a week or two before the sale. I had talked to Jeff on the phone about ordering them and even asked him about deals for 3s members. So a few days after receiving the turbos I see they are about $400 cheaper for the black Friday sale. I was a little upset that I wasn’t told they were getting ready to go on sale. I definitely would have waited if I had known. Sucks to be me I guess.

[Quick VR-4]

I ordered a set of Megan coils on the Black Friday sale. Like you, my order went from pending to processing without any further info. I happened to call yesterday and Jeff answered. I started to explain my concern and he said, "without even looking up your order...if you bought stuff during the black friday sale, we are just now starting to ship those items." They are starting with orders placed in order so since I ordered around 5:00 that afternoon mine was probably still processing. I would have appreciated him actually looking up my number, but I guess he was too busy and gave me a cookie-cutter answer. Hopefully they will show soon.

[whitedevilstealth]

Teah I got the same answer. I got the 19t's with the sale though.

[whitedevilstealth]

yeah not "teah"

[DrGonzo]

Last year it took almost a month for some to get their orders. IPS gets thousands of Black Friday orders that they have to process. You also have to remember that they support other platforms also and those guys also got their own deals and are having to deal with the same delays. Everyone just needs to be a little more patient. If it doesn't show up after a month then i would start to get concerned. I have dealt with IPS the last couple years for Black Friday and things always slow down due to the amount of orders they get. In the end everything always ships out.

finally some common sense

[CoopKill]

I think it took 3 1/2 weeks last year. They are swamped with orders right now I'm sure.

[whitedevilstealth]

Oh yeah I dont doubt they are busy. I just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing delays. I'm not complaining I'm just wanting my stuff that's all. I have bought lots of stuff from them and expect to keep buying from them. My only issue is that I have ordered some stuff before from them, just little stuff like exhaust gaskets and they never have gotten shipped but they never charged me that I know of.

Yea, I've also bought items that were never shipped & never charged. No contact on the order.

Their delays are nothing new.

:awesome:

[whitedevilstealth]

I'm just excited to get my 19t's cuz I've had pretty good luck with my old 13g's and just want to install them.

[Show Killer]

Yep, when i ordered my TD05 kit from them it took almost a full month. I got a good price on it so i was in no hurry though. After it arrived it sat in my living room for another month before i installed it.

[DrGonzo]

One of the reason I hate all the sales going on during Black Friday and x-mas is the fact that I buy so much stuff but it has to sit around for months cause it's too damn cold to work on the car....LOL

I HATE WINTER!!! :(

You and a few other people who bought stuff from me on black Friday were delayed a bit so I sent out e-mails to let them know. Everyone replied with the same thing you did...it's cold out so it'll probably be a while before I can install it anyways. :p

What is "too cold"?

[DrGonzo]

I'm going to be fitting the cold this weekend. I need to get an oil leak fixed and the horn working so I can finally get the car inspected and registered. I have a pile of parts to install and it looks like it might be in the low 50's this weekend.

I wish I had a nice warm garage to work in! Then again if I did I would probably never leave it...:)

[DrGonzo]

Figures that would come from somebody in ALASKA...LMAO

[songsay ratana]

back in the "im a po ass mofo" days i bench pressed the transmission back into the vr4 in -14 weather.
had like 5 layers of clothes on and could only go outside for 15-20 minutes at a time.
it was in those times when returning the vr4 from whence it came (mt fuji lava) was very tempting.
couldnt afford an engine lift and fair weather friends are too plentiful.

but now that many years have passed and times are better, i have a wonderful garage. but whats funny is that everything on the vr4 runs fine, now that i have a garage, and an engine lift. it ran all last summer without even losing any fluid or anything busting. i was amazed.

so i know how you guys without garages feel.

Gotta agree -- especially the I HATE WINTER!!! :Clap:

Got outside today as it made it above freezing for the first time in a week here in Michigan. My bank account took a hit for over $800 at IPS on Black Friday. I figure that I saved about $400 though so not bad at all. I ordered a new South Bend Stage 3 clutch, 2 Carrier Bearings, front & rear Power Slot brake rotors, and a Mitsu timing belt tensioner. Was hoping for free brake pads, but called for a status update this past Tuesday and didn't get any free stuff :Sobbing:Since it will be another month or two before the RT/TT will get worked on, waiting isn't a big deal. Told them to send it all once they get it in from the suppliers to save on shipping costs. ETA is next week!

Once it is here, I'll really start getting anxious to get the car back on the road. By then though there will be a foot of snow and the Avalanche will work a whole lot better. Might have to get a heater for the garage/pole barn.

The shop I work at had its thermostat set at 52 all the time...if it were that warm out id be out working on the stealth all the time lol
Instead im inside cuz its -15 windchill and we just got about 14 more inches of snow....i hate Minnesota and so does my stealth lol

[TurboSinceBirth]

Last year I had to wait over a month to get my parts. They've very busy for Black Friday because of all the sales they do over multiple platforms so be patient.

[whitedevilstealth]

I got my exhaust gaskets today but I'm still waiting for my 19t's.

[tripsung]

Has anybody else got their stuff yet? Not complaining but just wondering, I haven't received anything yet

[DrGonzo]

I just finalized my order with Jeff the other day. They had to order some parts directly from Mitsubishi for my order.

[Quick VR-4]

Jeff called last week and told me my order was shipping on the 22nd. The next day I get an e-mail saying it would be an additional 3 weeks due to back-order and $50 shipping that was not shown when I placed my order. I questioned it and they said they did not list shipping charges for the one day sale. Now I ended up saving no money and having to wait 1 1/2 months if it even comes then...not happy.

[Keyan]

Jeff called me 2 weeks ago to quote me $16 for the rotors and pads I ordered. a Very reasonable shipping price for such heavy items.


but I still haven't gotten them yet.

[Unknownvr4]

Yea, I had to pay $8 for shipping but haven't received my item yet either

[DocWalt]

My item last year took a bit to ship, but I don't remember exactly when I got it. I'd probably wait until after the new year before bashing some heads. :)

Is it still too early to bash??? I still have no product with no word when I will receive it. Also, how does it cost $50 to ship coilovers from OH to TN???? This will be my 4th set of coilovers (not all for this car) and this is the most I have ever paid in shipping and the other 3 sets came from Cali??? I have dealt with just about every 3s shop in the last 13 years of ownership and this has been "MY" worst experience to date. Almost no communication with a $50 shipping charge out of nowhere. Some people wonder why many 3S owners run to E-bay instead of supporting local shops and this is a prime example. I saved no money after the shipping charge and am still waiting.

[DrGonzo]

Have you tried to call them?

I spoke with Jeff just yesterday and they were just shipping mine out. They had to get something ordered directly from Mitsubishi as it is a somewhat hard part to track down. My entire order was on hold cause I told them to ship it all at once to save on shipping.

Just give them a call and find out why the shipping charge is so much. I've dealt with them allot over the last couple of year and they have never once BS'd me about anything.

[green-lantern]

LOL.... I think I hear an echo!!!!!

:lo5l: I was WTF didn't he already say that in this thread.

Bolded the most important bit. I had to call them last year. I can't explain the shipping costs, that's up to them.

[Keyan]

I emailed them. apparently powerslot rotors arent answering their phones. He said he would send out another email with information pertaining to when it will all go out....never got it.

[Unknownvr4]

I got my stuff in the mail last week.

[Quick VR-4]

I did call them. They said shipping is what it is and they ran out of stock right before my order so the hold up is with Megan. Oh, and they apologized for taking so long. Like I said, I have dealt with the likes of GT-Pro, Altered Atmosphere, etc. and had better experiences than this one. I am not pissed as much about the delay as I am the shipping charge. Like I said, I have received many items of similar size and weight from much further places that did not cost near that much.

[DrGonzo]

The shipping charge is most likely due to the fact that Megan is shipping you them directly. I'm pretty sure they are based out of Cali and with you being in Tenn shipping is going to be a whole lot more than someone shipping something from the east coast. Anything I have to ship to the west coast or buy from the west coast I guarantee shipping is almost doubled!

[Quick VR-4]

I think it was just a combination of the wait and then coming to find out a month after the fact that a $50 shipping charge was being applied. There may have been some fine print regarding the addition of shipping charges, but it was an impulse buy which was my fault for not reading thoroughly. When I saw the shipping charge listed as $0, I thought I was getting it for $750 shipped which was definitely worth it. However, this price with shipping is pretty much the e-bay standard and would have been here in a 1/4 of the time. Oh well, I just can't wait to finally get them on the car.

[Quick VR-4]

Quick update...called to check on the coilovers again a couple of weeks ago and was told I would have a tracking# by 1/7 as their shipment came in. E-mailed Brandon last week for update instead of calling because I know they are busy and figured he would respond when he could. Still nothing so I called today 1/18 and was put on hold for 5 minutes. A girl (cannot remember the name) said they had a call into the Megan rep and they would call me back. Next week makes 2 months...anyone having better luck than me?

[Keyan]

I ordered a transfer case from them VIA email. had a nice long discussion, he would respond within minutes of me sending an email. when i brought up my black friday order he stopped responding. it kinda ticked me off.


2 weeks later, I finally received my rotors, they were drop shipped from Power Slot. I am still waiting on my pads from IPS. I was told they were waiting for confirmation the rotors got to me before shipping the pads...but...why not ship the pads when I place the order and then atleast keep communication going and let me know the rotors are gonna be late?

Now that 3SX is doing a transfer case sale I'm seriously considering cancelling my t-case order with IPS. I don't really like how they handled my black friday order.

[Maximal]

It might not be my place to say but this has been going on for a while...

I can get FWD Megan coilovers shipped right out, AWD ones should be available late next week.
