Is jegs slipping

FWIW, if you are talking about distributors (not mfr's) , I buy from Jegs, Summit, Speedway, Mancini and others. I look as much for availability as for price.

The last order from Jegs was for 2 MP rocker shafts and only 1 was in the box, despite the invoice showing 2. No holes in the box, so the JEG's shipping dept was to blame. They made it right but had to wait 2-3 weeks for the 2nd shaft. Glad I was not in a big hurry, but Summit and all others were going to take a month or more the ship them.

FWIW, we order a couple hundred $k in equipment every year for business, about half through distributors. We find that there are some reliable distributor's shipping depts and some not so reliable, so finding differences between auto parts distributors is believable. But they all mess up sooner or later. It is a waste of our time, but shipping clerks are not the best and brightest and best paid employees in such organizations....
