[QUOTE="BryanDP, post: 3741300, member: 1111"] As my friend that runs a body shop explained it, they "order" most parts they don't stock from a commercial-only parts house in the region (for instance I think the Ford one is in Dallas) that basically functions as their extended warehouse. That parts house makes a daily run to Tulsa and parts are delivered to the shop. If they end up not needing something they can send it back with the same delivery person that drops things off. My guess is that your parts weren't available in such a scenario and had to be special ordered, therefore the special order and up-front payment though the guy you were working with obviously didn't explain the difference. A "returned" special order part probably would have a restocking fee since they'll have to send it back but since it's out of stock and hadn't been shipped yet they should have just canceled the order. You can't restock something you don't even have in hand so that was a bit ridiculous of the guy. At this point he was probably just retaliating to your being upset. I bet you can find that part online somewhere. Look at eBay and Amazon. They have a ridiculous amount of parts online and usually a lot cheaper. Then find someone good at taking apart car doors (like a body shop) and have them install it. Good luck with it! Bryan [/QUOTE]
