jimmycapp Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I ordered my AC spring a week ago from sunday (3.8.09) I was amazed with the $60 ups ground shipping on a 50lb box. Thats a 100% markup. Well I paid, and waited until yesterday. I called and the lady on the phone said, "I'll have shipping send them out today". That's pretty lame for the amount they charge for shipping. If I hadn't called, I doubt they would have shipped. Her excuse was "Orders get shipped out first come first serve. So we probably had a lot of orders" I hate people. I should have just canceled my order, or bitched more, but I just want them already. Rant over, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleurys Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I agree, but consider yourself lucky... I ordered mine also and the shipping is costing me 127$US.... once converted in canadian, these springs will have cost me on the border line of 700$ !.....They better be gold plated for that price...hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I don't recall what mine ended up costing, but my lift kit got to Canada in about 3 days. I was actually surprised how quickly that happened. (that was 4 years ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid 20 bucks shipping each time i've ordered springs (2x from wildhorses 1 x from bcbronco's) and had them in 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagwoodzz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Guess I was lucky. I've only ordered a lift and shocks, but they were quick about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 they shipped my stuff the next day as I ordered in the evening, and it got to me later that week. shipping costs were a bit steep, but still cheaper than going through calmini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Gotta know who to talk to and actually talk to them on the phone (vs online order form). My last order got delayed buy the manufacturer dragging their feet getting the parts to AC, but they still got the parts to me in time for my appointment for shop time I had. Don't know who is around these days but it used to be the only people I would deal with there were Jane, Mike, or Volrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatutoryApe Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 i'm too lazy to read everyone else's posts, but i know that AC took like 3 weeks to ship my spare tire carrier brackets to me once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrex20 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 i was surprised to find that shipping for all three R50 skids (front/center/rear) was only $75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneZ Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I found the first order I put through AC for my body lift took almost 3 weeks to get to me. the second time I ordered my rear springs I called and stated while on the phone if the shipping takes as long as last time i will never order through them again, The springs showed up at my door 3 days later. I agree with above post if ordering through AC do it on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I will not order something from an online store that I cannot talk to a human being first, whether on the phone, or face-to-face. http://www.sierraexpeditions.com - Good alternative for more generic stuff to AC. Not as much Nissan specific stuff, but they're getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
