Has anyone noticed its calling the part a Quality Brand 703 Radiator? Seems they have some issues with the pics not matching the descriptions.

Seems kind of crappy to buy a product from a company imitating a real company that has been so helpful to our community.

Yea, they changed the product descriptions after the thread was posted.

1. As no one has received the knob, no one knows whether it was an imitation or not.
2. Who in his right mind would bother imitating a frucking shift knob only to sell it for a fraction of its market value?
3. Mistakes happen on Amazon. FWIW, I just bought a $125 product for less than $25 shipped.

Hmmm, so far my order has not been cancelled. And according to the USPS tracking, its already been processed. I guess I will wait and see what happens.

<blush> I kept checking the mail even after the cancellation. Nothing showed up so far.

Speaking of shift knobs, I like these:

I ordered one of these and received model train wheels instead. The lady told me to ship the train parts back and she will send me the knob. It's been like 2 weeks now and still no knob =(


edit

Just checked my email. I was issued a refund lol.


Hi James,

This is Lisa Stone again from Prima Products and I am emailing you
regarding the order with us [Amazon.com]. We just recently received
your returned item (509 Andrews Trucks STD HO) and the letter
requesting the shift knob that was pictured on the listing at the time
you ordered it. Unfortunately, there was a mistake with the listing
you used to order the item and we have since removed it. We are
unable to ship you the item you are requesting because we do not sell
shift knobs.

Well, I've been vacationing in Hawaii with my fiancee for the last week so I have not been home to see what was shipped to me. I hope its not train wheels! I'll open up the mystery shipment later today and let you all know...
