Keep in mind that these guys don't have little elves in their basement hammering out Vortec heads while the rest of the world sleeps. They buy them from a supplier (wholesaler). Suppliers often say that they expect things in, and then they don't come in. They even announce new products, and the products never actually make it to the shelves, or they do one run and get with some complaints, and they go back to re-tooling. This is not the retailer's fault and there is really nothing he/she can do about it except relay the latest information they have been given. Sometimes the latest information from the supply chain is that there is no ETA. Should you buy somewhere else? Only you can decide but you should probably at least see if someone else has them in stock. You may find that every retailer has the same answer, or you may find your parts. Do call and cancel the other order though if you get them somewhere else. It can save lots of headaches for everybody.
John Nasta -----Original Message----- Hi Is there anybody out there having good or bad experience with gmpartsdepot? I am trying to buy two new Vortec cylinder heads # 25534431. A note on the webpage: Item is currently on backorder please call for more info When I call them, no-one (even if the guy was helpful) can tell when the heads asr availible. not even an estimation. To double-check I sent a mail, but the answer was about the same. To me its a strange way of doing business and I am not sure di I dare to buy anything from them? They have an alternative head availible. Or should I buy heads somewhere else? Br Hans
