Constantly. It's *mostly* wasn't because the parts weren't available. It just took forever to ship then get here

My engine kit was shipped from PAI in CA, should have been here in three days. In stead it got lost for a while before showing up in Pennsylvania. Took another week+ to get back here from there. R+L could care less

The lower gasket set I ordered took three weeks to get here. I made three trips to the local fedex ground center before they could find it last Sunday morning

I think the worst experience was the injector follower pivot pins. None were available. Cummins said they had one in Canada and four in Europe. Arkansas Valley Diesel claimed they had 24 in stock but wanted $38 each for them (cummins was $24, aftermarket was <$10). Bit the bullet and ordered six. Three days later I get a package from them that's a bag with a box in it. The box was that distinctive chinese cardboard and had the shipping labels pulled off. I'm fairly certain they overnighted the parts from china then shipped them to me at a substantial markup. The parts were in a bag with the part number hand written on it
