St Charles online Parts Catalog is dead :(

We are the redheaded stepchildren of the car world. And I'm not just talking to you Foxfires out there.

So that's why the previous owner of my #1033 Foxfire had it painted gunmetal metallic, tired of gettin' beat! Poor Foxfires...

Just got my front bumper reinforcement.

FWIW, it was shipped from this address....

Just in case someone on the private eye trail wants to research their process in the scheme of things.

This is where my parts have come from for years. Yes, when an item runs low in the USA they will back order to Japan. When those run out it's over, so grab body and trim stuff now. The mechanical is largely Trooper, they made hundreds of thousand of those and the parts may never run dry.

Just got a call on my cell from Phil at St. Charles. He said effective as of today, they are no longer an Isuzu Dealer (which I knew was coming)...but the shocking thing is that...

ALL PENDING ORDERS HAVE BEEN AUTOMATICALLY PUT IN CANCELLED STATUS AND CANNOT BE REOPENED.

I had a few things that were "Back Ordered" but not discontinued (which means likely that I will "eventually" get the part), but now St. Charles' system has purged ALL remaining/pending orders to a cancelled state.

He was very nice and apologetic, but that's it. No more parts or assistance from St. Charles even if you've paid for and ordered a back ordered part. I'm assuming that if the part was "in stock" that you will still get it, but outside of that... it's a wrap...game over.

If you have an order from them, I would call to make sure that you get CREDIT back to your card, which is what I just did.

Ty,

IIRC, St Charles only hit your credit card when they shipped the part to you, they didn't hit it when the part was back ordered. I'm like the Dubster tho, memory T'ain't what it usta be.
