Very easy site to navigate and to utilize... I found them and me and my two somewhat 'mature' cars - a 2003 Jetta TDI wagon and a 1973 Volvo 1800 ES - could not be more thrilled!
Their system makes it easy to get to the items that can work for my wheels, and lets me sort through them quickly... instead of searching the web and ending up at dead-ends for places that have essentially one part that fits either of my cars...
Thank you, Pelican Parts...
Glen
And as Arnold said in The Terminator, "I'll be back."!
A great resource for old car parts with very friendly and professional customer service that is always just a phone call away. When anything unexpected happens, they'll go extra miles to make it right, including splitting or combining orders, free shipping for the parts that are on backorder etc. The only thing to wish for is to be able to ship what they have to Canada for less :)
I was having trouble finding a replacement turbo for my MK5 GTI. I found pelican parts on the third page of my search. All of the East Coast supplier we're out of stock, and I would have to wait three months for a drop shipment from Borg Warner. Pelican had my turbo in stock. My sales rep Gene worked with me to verify that the turbo was correct for my car. He was very patient and helpful and made sure I got what I needed. He also pointed out all the tech articles for working on my MK5. I received my delivery in four days which is way better than the two weeks it takes from the East Coast. I have since placed multiple orders for hoses and brake parts and I received the same great quality, service and fast shipping. Pelican is now my first stop for GTI parts I wholeheartedly recommend pelican parts for your European vehicles.
I have a 1997 993. I do much of the maintenance work myself. I recently needed the screw that secures the left rear taillight and was able to find it at Pelican. It's excellent that I can get not only "major/expensive" parts but also little OEM items like that screw. Pretty much everything that I have ever needed for maintaining my '97 993, I have been able to find at Pelican. I highly recommend them.
1st of all, I'd like to thank this company & ALL of it's staff for being there to help me out when I needed them! I'd like to thank Kenny & most of all Glenn for just being there! I've talked to both of these guys at length( Especially Glenn) & what a great resource for all of MY automotive needs. I would encourage everyone, & I mean everyone to at least try calling these gentlemen & see if you get the same results that have & will continue to get going forward. Has it been perfect? Mostly, yes... there have been some minor things, but again, I just called Glenn up & got it figured out. Don't be all pissed off if it doesn't go your way all the time & write a bad review about them online that you cannot be accountable for! Call & talked to these people & let them help you!
I have no issue with their selection. However, I could have walked from California to Florida faster than their free economy shipping. Item shippe on 19 Oct and arrival not set till 30 Oct. I ordered some crappy $3.00 product to get free shipping and I regret it. Don't use their free shipping unless you live next door. Very frustrating. The shipping arrival date has changed 3 times.
Ordered a cai for my bmw that was supposed to take 3 days to get to me but i didnt receive it till 2 months later. I personally will never shop with this company again. I Had one person in customer service that actually could get me info on my order. Very on composed company!

I order six items on Oct. 6,2020 and, while the shipment arrived on time, there were two problems.
1. My order for CHF 11S synthetic oil was not included, even though it said it was on the invoice.
2. I ordered 4 hose clamps 40-60 mm, what was shipped were 4 42-48 mm hose clamps.
I had to use my old clamps, and wanted to return the ordered clamps of the wrong size.
I called the toll-free number on thr bill of sale to complain, they said all well be taken care of.
Nothing happened,
I then emailed my complaint, and still nothing happened.
Then I got on this website and found The Vice President of eCommerce for Palican Parts LLC.
Michael Morita. I emailed my complaint to Michael. Now I got their attention.
I received an email from Michael saying Stacy Williams, the Consumer Service Supervisor, will take care of my complaint. She emailed me saying my CHF 11S fluid will be shipped and to keep the hose clamps.
I did receive my fluid promply.
Thank you Michael for your handling of this situation.

My package has been stuck at customs because these "geniuses" wrote a different amount in declared value for customs from what I paid so when I sent the invoice to DHL because they asked for it it didn't coincide with what was declared. They wrote down a higher amount which means I will pay higher import fees! The only option for customs is to send them an invoice that has the same amount as the one declared. When I talked on the phone with Pelican Parts they just acted like nothing. Not even a sorry for the inconvenience! Word of advice if you care about customer satisfaction: in declared value for customs write down the amount that was paid including whatever discount that was given for whatever reason and don't include shipping and handling in the declared amount. If you don't do this you're making your client pay more! Import fees for Mexico are very high so thank you for screwing me and not caring about it.

Hey Piercarlo,
I haven't heard back form you but wanted to let you know I'm still here if you would like to chat. Hope you have a great weekend!

Hey Piercarlo,
I am sorry that there was a mistake on the declared customs forms. The amount is automatically generated from our system into DHL. I am very curious to review the order to understand what went wrong. We should have done a better job assisting you when you called in. My apologies for not making it right at that time. I tried to locate your order under the name used in the review. Unfortunately, I could not find it. Would you mind shooting me a direct email at mmorita@pelicanparts.com? I would be happy to step in and see what I could do to assist. Again, my apologies and I’m committed to working with you to find a good solution.

Horrendous experience. Their website says the parts were in stock but they're not. Gave me run around for 2 weeks. Had to cancel. WORST customer service as well. Just put you on hold for 20 to 40 min at a time with zero resolve.

Norman,
Thank you for the kind words about our selection. I am proud to say we now have will over 2 million items available on our site. My co-workers in our Catalog Team work extremely hard and are always searching for new and exciting products. As a fellow enthusiast I think they have one of the coolest jobs in the company. They are always in on the ground floor and are first to be informed the latest and greatest products.
I am so sorry about the delay in transit. I completely understand how frustrating it is to wait an extended period of time to receive an order. It is painful for us to watch when we do everything in our power to get the order out of our facilities on-time. Then we stand by only to see the freight provider flubs the delivery making us miss our expected delivery date window. Most orders that ship out Economy Option get delivered to our customers on-time during the expected delivery window. Every now and then a carrier does take a bit longer to deliver. In your case it looks like they changed it 3 times. Again so sorry for the delay. We offer several upgraded shipping options at a significantly reduced cost in our shopping cart. These options are great if you have a time sensitive project and need the parts you ordered immediately.
I just sent you a PM and my contact information is listed below. Please feel free to contact me directly if there is anything further I can do to assist. If you are willing to give us another opportunity to earn your business I would be happy to assist you personally. I’ll see what I can do to make up for the delivery mishap. Thanks for the understanding and support.
Warm Regards,
