The Indy guys shouldn't sell to the public but they do give the customer that option which most manufactures don't do. I am a V-Twin dealer {Harley parts}, V-Twin will not sell to the public, period. The minimum order I have to make with V-twin is $50.00. Its not that big of a deal IMO to come up with a few extra parts to make the minimum order, a set of headers and intake gaskets a back up set of oil line hoses. {can't imagine replacing only one?} We are the minority that have had good luck with the Indy guys. Purchase from a dealer they may even give you a discount the supplier will not do that. Have a great 4th and win lots of races this weekend if your racing.

i had to set the Visa credit card people onto ICH when they repeatedly kept sending me the wrong part, not once, not twice, not even three times but FIVE times the wrong part was sent & everytime they charged my card. the cost of freight was more than the part was worth so they just said "keep the part, we'll send you the right one", the charges were reversed about 2 weeks after i had Visa involved. i don't deal with them now, Jeffs the man @ MCH, everything is right first time.

im still sticking as the all time funniest,unprofessional experience with indy is when i called Ken Lazzeri on a monday morning and ordered a 572 megablock shortblock and on thursday afternoon, it arrived in my driveway,when i checked the bore it was a 557 ci shortblock.
i immediately called indy and Ken Lazzeri got on the phone and told him, you sent me the wrong shortblock.
he responded with "its close enough,it'll work, it will be fine, and hung up on me. What the heck was that all about!!
I heard the "its close enough, it'll work" right out of Russ's mouth with the Indy Gen III 426 Hemi at the 06 Monster Mopar Weekend. 4.05 bore, 4.05 stroke = 418 cu in. These new small block Hemi's can't take the bore required to make them a true 426. Russ told me that he could get the cubes to a 420-422, but its close enough to call it a 426?
Thats dirtball sales tactics to sponge off the HEMI name

As has been said 1000X before, if people would just order their stuff through a dealer 99% of these ICH complaints would be non issues... I know for a fact (because I've done it multiple times myself) That they will waive the $40 min order for WD's so you could have ordered that line from pretty much any WD hassle free.
& I know it's not the case on that particular low $ part, but on larger $ orders, I REALLY don't understand people ordering direct... because you are just wasting your $ paying racer cost by ordering direct from ICH. You will get cheaper pricing & much better customer service going through a dealer... but yet people keep beating their heads against the wall buying direct, I don't get it & never will.
This pretty much says it all and should be put in any ICH thread.

Ryan I think alot of it stems from the fact Indy always has those big two page ads in Mopar Muscle..encouraging people to buy direct from them.
I know, they like to have people buy direct because they make the most $ that way. But customers should understand they are getting hosed buying direct.. especially on big ticket items.

but Anyone that has bought direct has learned the same lesson you have now learned.Just buy from a dealer from now on or keep alot of gaskets in reserve.Your right but this is the way it is and so move on.
try buying diesel parts from over seas, they suck, 
Ryan your absolutly correct,with so many great WDs right here on moparts buying Indy products should be quick and easy.There are many members that will give you way better pricing than racers net that Indy offers on retail sales.Most of them are great to deal and talk to and offer great advise and they will keep their end users happy handling any problems that arise.
