Eckler unable to ship order
October 31, 2024

I have a PO Box. It seems a lot of online sales has difficulty with this (e.g., their websites do not explicitly state that they cannot ship to PO Boxes). As a result, I list my address with both the PO Box and my house's physical address. Although every other online sales company is able to handle this, apparently Eckler cannot. As a result, you canceled my order. Please note that your service rep stated that the issue is that I listed my PO Box first and then my physical address; I guess this is too much for your sales folks to manage (note that UPS and FedEx have no issue with this). Please understand that you are not the only company that sells the products that I'm interested in. Accordingly, I will order from a company that can ship my order.

Hello Russell,

I am sorry to hear that your order was cancelled I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. We do list under our FAQ's that we unfortunately do require physical addresses for delivery but not billing. It looks like my Customer Op's department called and left you a voicemail and also emailed you going into further detail regarding this as well. I have added a voucher to your account as a small token of our apology, and you can use this voucher online or over the phone with one of our Sales Techs. We hope that you will continue to do business with us in the future.

Thank you,
Allison EXT 1896

Inventory levels & False Pricing
October 28, 2024

I've had great experiences in the past with Ecklers. After receiving a new catalog in the mail about 2 months ago. I started shopping for my next order to place for my car. Once I selected items to order. I went online to place my order. To then find out that of the 9 items that I was shopping for only 4 of them were in stock. 1 item I had to decrease quantity to 1 to even get the item.
Also the pricing in the catalog was not correct compared to on line. The catalog pricing was cheaper across the board from about 25% to 150% higher depending on the items. A little frustrating to say the least.

Hey Mark,

Thank you for taking the time to write this review, I have looked into your recent order and your account. I completely understand your frustration regarding your order. We have discontinued the Ecklers catalogs to prevent from sending old ones out and this exact situation occurring. Please continue to use the website to see the most updated inventory of items and pricing. Keep in mind we are still working on Ecklers inventory and getting suppliers for all of your restoration needs. If you are ever in doubt do not hesitate to call our Sales Techs who can see inventory in our system and offer the best promotions we might have available at that time. I have also issued you a voucher for your inconvenience that is good for 1 month and can be used online or over the phone.

Thank you,
Allison

Hello Fabrice,

I called the phone number associated with this email and account and the person who I spoke to did not know what I was talking about, so hoping this message reaches you instead. I called to verify that you did receive your product since it did get shipped by the manufacture and was delivered on 10/21 and received by the front desk per the tracking. You should of received a tracking # via email as well, I apologize for any confusion regarding this order. If you require further assistance please do not hesitate to reach out to us!

Thank you
Allison

OE Air Conditioning HP Hose
October 25, 2024

The search was on when it was found my OE AC System on my 1972 El Camino had been fitted with a HP AC Line missing the "gauge set port" for proper system maintenance on the expansion valve side.
Ecklers had the correct OEM Part at a fair price and in stock. Quick shipping helped get my AC System ready for a full vacuum and leak check prior to system charge.

Shift Indicator Cable

Needed a shift indicator cable for my 69 El Camino, but no one makes it. This earlier cable will have to do if I can cut it down in size and secure it.
