<VV> Caveat revisited : Amazon refunded purchase + free shipping on next order

[Charlie]

Amazon refunded purchase + free shipping on next order, so all's well.

I should have removed the drive from the car (disabling it until I got the
part) to visually verify the part, but that was not feasible, except in the
20-20 hindsight that is also much clearer!

It was immediately evident that the part was to short, otherwise the rest of
the "starter repair kit" does work (brushes, etc) ...

I order from Amazon and Ebay all the time. I have to know what I am
ordering. I can probably find a radiator cap on Ebay for my Corvair.
The car has no water, so I don't order it. I was in the car parts business
for years. Heard all the stories. This remindes me I need to rebuild a
starter so there is one on the shelf when I need it.

I was surprised to find the same part that is sold at AutoZone on the Amazon

AutoZone could not get the part, while NAPA, O'Reilley's, Clark's and
Underground would take about a week.

Underground and Clarks (and I would gladly prefer and patronize club
members!) could not even take my order until the following Monday, while
Amazon delivered it Sunday morning (for about the same price including
shipping.)

Gee, all these benefits: Lower price, fast shipping, weekend ordering.

BUT IT WAS THE WRONG PART!

If low price, fast shipping, and weekend ordering is more important to you
that gettting the right part, then by all means continue to order

from Amazon.

Sheesh.
