Bought a dashboard, door panels, brake rotors and calipers from CwC. Overall, I think they are an awesome group of enthusiasts, who certainly work hard to satisfy you. I'm beyond satisfied with CwC, and I'm sure you will too, they go out of their way to help you, even after hours. My items came packed nicely and I received them earlier then expected. One of my favorite Samba vendors.

Ordered a book from them and it was as pictured. They had the lowest price I found on the web for a hard to find shop manual. Very quick emailing and shipping. Packaged real good. Very happy!

Bought deck lid vents and a piece of mental they cut from a scrap bug. They also cut vents from deck lid for me. Shipping was fast and pieces came just like I asked for. I highly recommend CWC. Thanks

Long distance transaction was excellent! Mike's communication and willingness to work with my requests made the process excellent. I purchased a Westy he had listed - his work is excellent and his word is true. Very highly recommend as a trustworthy source.

They went out of their way to get me what I needed. Sold me the tops only from a set of air cleaners that they had. Great vendor!

I just tried to buy a part they had listed for sale on the samba and on their website. Shipping included. They cancelled my order with refund and said the part was out of stock.

DO NOT LIST PARTS THAT ARE NOT FOR SALE!!!!!

I will think twice before attempting another transaction with this company.

I've done that several times myself
People forget to delete things that are sold all the time.
This wouldn't stop me from dealing with anyone in the future.

Except in this case this guy is a douche bag. Here it is relisted today for more money. I bought and paid for this item yesterday through paypal. They refunded my sale and relisted it today again on your site. WTF? Sorry Everett usually I deal with legitimate business people not shiesters.

Your complaint about someone doing that is a valid one but this appears to be a different pump from the ad photos.

This is also not how I would have handled it - I would have offered you the other one at the same price but not everyone handles things that way.

I have helped with inventory there, there are 1000's of parts. Direct communication with this vendor would bring satisfaction IMO

We usually don't post in this forum. In this case I hope it will be helpful. While excuses won't do anybody any good I believe some facts will help.

I am replying to the posts from SplitWindowSyndicate. I placed the ad for the pump he ordered in September of 2015. Here is a link to the ad.

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1834196

I placed the ad for the pump he mistook for the same one in January of 2014. Here is the link to that ad.

https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1581844

I spent an hour trying to find the pump he ordered. When I couldn't find it, I refunded his payment in full. I deleted the ad when the order came in. I deleted the ad for the second pump today because I shipped it to him.

I apologized when I refunded the payment and will offer a further apology here. Few of my customers have the money and talent to produce restoration of the quality produced by SplitWindSyndicate. I apologize for contributing to what was obviously a bad day.

Thank you for your apology and also I received a fuel pump from Carswcharacter yesterday. I believe it is the pump featured in the second ad. But those greasy pumps have a way of looking alike. I also completely apologize for my misperception and subsequent posts. Way cool! Thanks and I will send you a paypal out today. Sorry
