Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 197 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently mention that online orders arrive very quickly, and products are securely packed to ensure they remain in pristine, damage-free condition during transit. Many people warmly appreciate the helpful and polite technical assistance provided when choosing specific restoration components for their classic vehicles. However, some people mentioned facing ongoing issues with surprisingly high shipping costs and expensive delivery fees that made online purchases less appealing. A few other consumers also noted that occasionally ordered items arrived missing, slightly damaged, or requiring extra manual adjustments to fit properly on their classic cars.

Written by the company

When we started SS396.com, a Ground Up Motors company, we had one thing in mind: to bring the best quality restoration parts to everyone, from the weekend driver to the 1000-point restoration. Over the years, we have grown from one person operating out of a garage to our brand new 60,000+ square foot facility in Palm Coast, Florida. Despite our growth, our passion and vision have remained the same: to keep the excitement of classic American muscle running by providing the best parts available, an easy-to-use website, and the best customer support team.

I ordered the incorrect part the first time (never order parts in the middle of the night) and I noticed within a couple hours. I notified ss396.com right away and put in a request for return and caught the order even before it was packaged and sent. The refund on that purchase made it back to my account in reasonable time. I then reordered the correct part # and they arrived when promised.

Things they don't tell you

So they forget to mention everything comes from the factory. Then when they are notified by the factory that they don't have a part the SS396 site does not notify the customer. 3 weeks later I call and find out that they have to get permission from the factory to reimburse me the money spent. This whole transaction could take another 2 weeks. No. There is nothing they are willing to do to correct it. Yes they know it's a problem. Yes they know THEY got the money, but they have to wait and get authorization from the factory shipper.

Hey Paula, we apologize for the confusion. With drop shipments, things can sometimes be out of our control. It seems you were told about the back order, and I just had them check into it, it should be shipping very soon! Once again, sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Best price and great part!

Ground Up had the part I needed with the most reasonable shipping cost. More importantly, it arrived in perfect condition due to the box being tough enough to survive FedEx shipping. Thank you Ground Up!

Excellent parts

Excellent parts. Helps me keep my old car on the road. The only problem I have is shipping. When the shipping is more than the parts you’re buying, it’s a little hard to justify.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the feedback. Shipping has been tuff lately with the rises in fuel costs, our shippers have bumped the rates. Hopefully it all comes down soon! But remember to keep an eye out for free shipping promo emails and we always have the free shipping over $299 promo on the website too!

Hi David, sorry to hear you ran into this issue. I see you already went to our claims department which acted promptly on getting a shipping label sent out to you. Once the item is returned, the refund will be issued. Also sending to our product team to get the item updated. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Hey Jeff, unfortunately with the high fuel costs, shipping rates have gone up a lot. It really affects the small stuff. We do have promo codes for free shipping, but you would need to be over $299. But always watch your email for promo shipping sales!
