Default Darn Backorders!

Sorry for wasting time but i'm just gonna go on a rant here to vent some frustration .

So yesterday I order a Bestop Trekstop softtop for my jk


and i'm all exited to receive it and start using it to better enjoy the beautiful days we've been having here up in quebec. well i just so happen to check my order status online today to see if it's been put through and it says that it's on backorder.

y don't they post it as backorder before you can order it. i called quadratec to find out when they would be receiving some and they said only at the END of june .....THE END!!!!!!!!!

i called three other online suppliers and they all said the same thing, something about the manufacturer hasn't released enough yet and they all are expected for the end of june.

anyways i know it's just a month away, and oddly enough my birthday is on June 29th so i guess it will be my b-day gift to myself.

thx y'all for listening it felt good just to talk about it.

That's probably the most common complaint that you read about Quadratec: You can't find out whether an item is in stock or not, even when you call and they confirm they have it. When they do have it, however, their shipping is extremely fast.

Default Factory soft tops too

My dealer told me softtops are back ordered for atleast 8 months. I dident belive him so I called every dealer ship in my area (5) they all said the same thing. I would assume that's because 2011 wrangler is slightly diffrent and they are putting all effort into making the new 2011 tops for production. Maybe trek tops are in the sAme boat?

I know you will enjoy the trek top, I see you are in Quebec, hope you don't get stung to bad on duties and shipping, Quadratec are lethel shipping to Canada. I got my Trektop from National 4wd and actually saved a few bucks.

Yeah, my Benchmark Designs oil pan skid ain't gonna make it in time for my wheeling trip next week, despite assurances that it would. I am NOT happy. I know they've been busy, but it was promised and not delivered.

Tis the season for backorders.

EDIT: I installed my Trektop today. You will love it. It is very cool.

My Benchmark Oil Pan shipped the day AFTER I left on my big 4x4 trip. Fortunately I didn't need it, but still...
