I no longer trust Pelican.
Having a bad experience is frustrating but it can happen anywhere. I have dealt with Pelican for almost 10 years for my 924S, 928 and boxsters. In that time I have had 1 part that expired under warranty, which they replaced. One advantage of Pelican is that it is convenient to order parts for different cars at the same time to get to the free-shipping amount. I also order parts elsewhere, of course Ebay and sometimes even the local Porsche dealer, especially for small parts that are difficult to find elsewhere or things that I need quickly without waiting for cross-border shipping.
