Factory Five Operations Update!

The big SEMA show is behind us, and as we approach the final month of the year, the Operations crew is engaged in a large scale overhaul and upgrade of our warehouse and inventory systems.

When we are done, we will be able to deliver to our customers faster order fulfillment, improved order accuracy, more secure packaging, and increased space that will allow us to carry more parts as well as a wider variety of new and hard-to-find parts. This effort is being done concurrently with the launch of our new online parts catalog targeted for the end of the year.

Unfortunately, the effort to improve means we may need longer-than-usual to ship current orders and backorders. If you are waiting on a part, we really appreciate your patience as we are doing our absolute best through the upgrade.
