I'm in Vancouver and the Mustang I'm building is outside of Kelowna a few miles. Just about everything I've needed I have got from the Mustang Shop in Calgary. The few pieces I tried to save a few bucks on and bought locally were inevitably wrong, so there was no savings. There have been delays in getting parts from the Mustang Shop but I aways just worked on something else till I got what I was waiting for.

They are typically very slow with e-mail responses, to me anyway. Sometimes weeks, and then I have to resend the email again in order to get a response. Seems like a high turnover of staff as the person I deal with for one oder is no longer there when I follow up later to check the status.

 

Mustang shop was always good to me but I haven't needed them for couple of years. There shipping policies were excellent and they would order from NPD for me with no shipping charges.
Not sure but they may have sold I was told.

 

Summit Racing, NPD and Virginia Classic Mustang for the most part. Forum vendors Opentracker Racing, Street or Track and Chockostang. I have found that if UPS is the shipper, be prepared for an additional $100 broker fee on top of shipping and any customs fee.

 

Thanks. I did just order something from Opentracker Racing so I will see who they use for shipping. Everything I order from NPD comes through UPS and the brokerage fee is ridiculous.

 

Does anybody have any experience with these guy's?

Mustang Depot

Mustang Depot

Mustang shop, npd, open tracker, mustang depot. Ordered from all of them. No complaints about mustang depot. But the parts are all waiting for warmer weather to be installed.

 

I live in the Niagara area about 20 minutes from the US border. Over the past 25 years I have ordered from many Mustang suppliers in the US, some like Mustangs Unlimited, long gone
I use a mail box service in Niagara Falls New York where shipments are accepted from just about any business in the US for a nominal fee, they will even take shipments of complete vehicles.
I then take a short trip and bring them back myself. This way I don’t have to pay brokerage fees and on the odd occasion if the dollar amount is not excessive the border agents just wave me through and so I don’t pay the GST/PST.

 

This is what I have been doing for a long time too. I have a mail drop in Port Huron, Michigan.

 

Summit is my go-to. I haven't tried Mustang Depot but it would (somewhat) convenient.

No, the Mustang Shop out west is pretty terrible, from the few times I have ordered from them. Expensive, expensive shipping, slow shipping.

 

I too live in the Toronto area and have ordered some stuff from Mustang shop in Calgary just to try and keep the Canadian business alive. Unfortunately they have been pretty useless and slow with stuff. My go to is NPD or Kentucky Mustang. If I need it now, I order from one of them and have it shipped to one of the US mailbox places in Niagara Falls. On occasion I have ordered stuff from one of the venders who go to the Columbus Ford show and pick it up there. For any sheet metal I go down to Golden Leaf Automotive who is the Canadian Arm of Dynacorn. They're located in Vaughn about 25 minutes from my house. They also ship if required.

 

The Mustang Shop in Calgary was my go to for many years. The shop changed ownership after I moved to Palm Springs 13 years ago. Perhaps that is a factor of the poor reviews.

 

So... I couldn't find a right rear parking brake cable here in Eastern Ontario and went ahead and bought one from NPD. The item was shipped along with a few other parts by UPS. Upon arrival the box was pretty beat up! Fortunately no damage. But what really upset me was the cable was a name brand (Wagner) and made right here in Brampton Ontario. Close to 30% exchange rate plus US tax and brokerage fees, It was close to double the money. My rant for the day.

 

Well, it's a little strange you couldn't find it in Eastern Ontario. I would bet every parts store I phoned would be able to get it same day.

 

It wasn't for a lack of trying. I could get the left rear and the front for a '68 but not the right rear.

 

I feel everyones pain. Tried pretty much everyone and no one seems better than another. I ordered 3 items from CJ Pony and 2 were on b/o for 6 weeks. The day they shipped they Emailed me and told me my invoice had gone up roughly $200. I just Emailed them to ask what the hell is going on?

 

Crazy, you're right, it's not even on Rockauto. (I run discs so I have no idea. I'll need to do something about those cables soon).

 

If you are in Southwestern Ontario you can use Shippsy. You are assigned an address in Sanborn NY. They receive the shipment and bring it over the border to one of their warehouses. The cost is $6.95 per package plus the HST on the item price. Can’t beat it.
