- a***s (708)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem was a vehicle part for 25 year old van. Seller was slow at handing over the packaged part to the shipper. Orginally due to buyer on July 10, but not received until July 29. Presumably the item was backordered, but buyer was not so advised if that was the case. Item received looks brand new, price was good, packaging was good for the type if part being sent. Despite the slow delivery, I would rate the transaction with 5 stars.🔥15095519 1999-2001 Chevy Silverado GMC Sierra Hoist Extension Spare Tire Tool (#185931535128)
