Have your credit card company stop the payment from them, and tell them that if they want the parts back they can send you a prepaid freight label, or whistle.
Climbing the org chart is good, too.
+1. I still have a coked up T3 turbo somewhere around here that some crooked junkyard peddled as "Grade A".
I called my Mastercard company and told them that I wasn't satisfied with it and I wasn't paying for it nor was I paying to send it back. I had to write a couple letters and go through their "process" but in the end I got the card charge reversed and they never did send a call tag for the worthless turbo. So when making an online purchase always select "credit" and not "debit" when given an option. It's cheap insurance to protect you from unscrupulous BS like this.
Sounds to me like someone at Midwest screwed up, dropped the ball and now their trying to cover their ass. Like Mookie said, there is likely a system in place designed to catch these screwups before they become an issue.
But for the record I've used them a couple times and had no issues. Maybe next time I'll call to verify that my order is in stock.
