fed up with etrailer.com

Need recommendations on a place to buy springs and suspension parts.

eTrailer has back-ordered my order for the second time. First strike was June tried to order some floor mats - sorry back-ordered from the factory, gonna be a month. I called BS, cancelled the order, got them in two days from Jeff.

Second strike, tried to order some replacement springs and mounting hardware, sorry back-ordered from the factory, don't know when we'll receive inventory. Jeff doesn't have the exact parts I'm after, so I haven't cancelled yet, looking for somewhere else now.

Ordered the springs from a truck suspension shop in Saginaw. UPS should have them here in a few days.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Look in the yellow pages for a trailer supply / repair / parts company. I've got many within a short drive. Doesn't have to be RV related as the springs and axles are used in many applications.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Guess you gotta wait or take a trip. Best of luck.

I always try local first. Most of the time, I can get what I need within a 20 minute ride. My local trailer business does a great job.

Tried local first, even tried not local. Nobody had what I needed, but of course a few could "order it". Tried the local farm store, the farm store the next town over and two local automotive stores - no dice.

Closest spring shop is a 2 hr trip.

Sorry, stuck comment in wrong place.

I tried to order something from etrailer the other day. After 15 minutes on hold waiting for a rep I moved on and ordered from somewhere else.

Guess Jeff is the half of Mutt and Jeff! Never had a problem with Etrailer either. Always delivered and sent a note asking if it was here and if I was satisfied. Try a Bing search of Miching TT springs or horse trailer springs. Lots listed.

I always call e-trailer before ordering to make sure they have what I need in stock. Saves a lot of blood pressure pills.

[time2roll]

I bought these springs:

http://www.stengelbros.com/trailer-suspension-parts/trailer-leaf-springs/

https://www.championtrailers.com/trailer-springs-accessories/

https://www.trailerpartsdepot.com/default.aspx

http://www.dexteraxle.com/store

Although I must say I also like etrailer.com

Sometimes Amazon is very good too.

Try http://www.easternmarine.com/.

Between easternmarine and etrailer, I never had trouble getting the parts I wanted.
