Not a Corvette.
Ya'll are really trusting to order a part, pay for it, and not have it shipped to yourself and then bring it to the shop.

The aftermarket auto industry is shady as all fuck. I've been a customer and worked in the industry. Shady ass characters. I trust no one.

I mean dude, come on. Protect yourself. It's clear as purple crayon.

Most likely he bought from a big distributor of Wagner, not Wagner direct.

I’m not familiar? Is there a difference between ordering from Wagner or the distributors? I know you mentioned something about CARB, is that the main reason?

Think of a distribution company as like Walmart, they buy Hershey chocolate in bulk and sell to anyone. VS if you tried to go direct to Hersheys to buy chocolate, they're going to want a minimum amount ordered, big orders, etc.. So smaller shops use distribution companies to buy from.

Gotcha bro. I will ask him today, like I’ll explain the situation. If he chooses to ignore me, then I’ll file for a chargeback, as tomorrow would be my last day to file it.

I would just cancel the transaction through your credit card institution. I usually bypass Paypal service as they are mostly useless.. if that is what you used.

Wagner USA never has them instock, while Wagner UK always shows instock. I went with a known UK based distributor which I’ve dealt with in the past. Got a manifold for $2500 shipped, they checked availability prior to taking payment from me. Once paid I had a manifold at my door in less than a week.
