Patrick,
Don't get me started on that one!  

When I was restoring Huxley, I ordered a bunch of Interior items from
them in October to take advantage of some special discounts and free
shipping.  By May I still had no Seat covers after repeated calls asking
for some idea when they would be in.  The short story was, "Nobody
knows".  

I ended up canceling the order and calling BPNW where the covers were in
stock and 20 bucks cheaper.

The moral of the story is: Now I always ask for price and AVAILABILITY 
before placing an order.  If it isn't in stock, I get it elsewhere.

Regards,
Joe
