DO NOT ORDER FROM ROCKAUTO.

They managed to screw up my order 3 times now and it has not even left the
warehouse.   3 days in a row I get an email that there is a problem with my
order.  I had ordered parts to come air freight out of the UK so I would
have them in time for our trip next week.  Not going to happen, I will have
to get them elsewhere.  The order should have shipped out yesterday, now it
has a ship date of Wednesday.  I just cancelled it and will NEVER deal with
them again.
