SS396.com bad experience
I called the location in Palm Coast and told them I wanted to order a sheetmetal firewall and dashpad for a 73 Nova. I told the lady I would drive to their location to pickup the parts to save shipping. She said thats fine but I should pay in advance so the parts would be pulled and waiting on my arrival. So I paid over the phone.
I get there and have to wait for the parts to be pulled. So much for paying in advance. Unfortunately, the firewall was bent and not usable. They told me it was supposed to be bent that way when we both know better! I told them no, that it was not usable. The air conditioning suitcase will not seal to the firewall when the heater opening is bent ineard 2 inches on one side.
They offered to drop ship one because they only had the one in inventory, but said I had to pay the $160 shipping. Why would I do that when they stated “all” of their inventory had the same damage, and that OER manufactures all of them with the same poor quality? I would just end up having to pay return shipping and a restocking fee! No thanks. I said just refund me and they said they would but that I had to wait 5 days for my refund. They got my money immediately, but want to hang onto it 5 days before giving it back.
I drove 6 hours for this? Poor customer service and they offered NO solution. Only finger pointing.
The guy up front was very nice and polite. Cant argue with that. But ss396.com is not a customer friendly company when something goes wrong.
Buyer beware. ss396.com is a Fairweather Supplier.

We’re sorry the firewall did not meet your expectations after such a long drive. After inspecting the part and the concerns you raised, we confirmed the same bend was present across our remaining inventory and in the manufacturer’s product imagery, indicating that it was produced in that form.
Our team offered to explore sourcing one from another supplier and was transparent about the drop-ship cost, although we could not guarantee another version would be manufactured differently. We also agreed to process a full refund that day. The five-day timeframe referenced was simply the maximum time some financial institutions may take to return the funds.
We understand your disappointment, but shouting at our staff and stating that you would not leave until the refund appeared was unacceptable. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect, and this is not conduct we are willing to ask our employees to accept simply to retain a customer.
While we’re disappointed this experience did not meet your expectations, we believe our team’s character is best reflected by the hundreds of customers who have shared positive experiences with us, including those who regularly shop in person at our counter. We wish you the best with your restoration.
The process was seamless

If an incorrect part is shipped, be aware that you're gonna get stuck with high shipping charges
I've ordered a number of parts from the company, I've been very satisfied. There was a mistake when another part was ordered and shipped to me, and initially they informed me that I ordered the wrong part. In fact, I went back and looked at my order...they were incorrect, they shipped the wrong one. Regardless. of the source of an incorrect order, the part has to go back.In order to get a refund, I need to ship it back to them
at my expense. Unfortunately, I am asked to be charged full shipping rates from carriers such as FedEx and UPS of almost $200. The company evidently has a bulk.shipping rate which is approximately at $24. I asked them to help me with the shipping. I simply wanted them to send me a shipping label with the bulk rate and I would reimburse them for that. Their response was less than the FedEx and UPS carriers at over $100. quite a conundrum… As the part is only valued at $200.
Very unfortunate for a repeat customer who has been dedicated to utilizing their product line. Disappointed with the customer service.

Thank you for your continued business and for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that this situation left you disappointed.
After reviewing your order, it appears your vehicle is a 1969 Camaro, while the parts ordered were for a 1968 Camaro. Although we were able to provide a discounted return shipping label, we understand that the return shipping cost was still significant due to the size of the shipment.
We'd also like to clarify that the shipping charge paid at checkout is often only a portion of the actual cost we pay the carrier. Like many retailers, we absorb a significant portion of shipping expenses to remain competitive and offer affordable shipping options to our customers. Unfortunately, those discounted outbound shipping rates typically do not apply to return shipments, particularly for large or oversized items.
That said, we believe there were opportunities for us to provide a better overall experience. Our goal is always to treat our customers fairly and find reasonable solutions, especially for those who continue to do business with us.
We appreciate your feedback and would welcome the opportunity to review your situation again. If you're willing, please contact our Customer Support team, and we'll be happy to revisit your order and see if there is anything further we can do to help.
