Default I only got one blade -

My order finally arrived today. I had placed the order on Dec 4th, but apparently the blades were backordered (which I didn't know, site didn't say anything). Anyway, SKU is the same, 552852, but I only got one blade, for the $29.83.

Default you need to call them and tell them....the site clearly states Left and Right SET.

they probably just forgot to put it in or they were still back ordered on the blades so they shipped out part of the order. I've gotten partial orders before from them.

Default That's what I figured, since it said "set", it should be both. But I e-mailed them and got the reply

that it was only one side and qty 2 needs to be ordered. Hmmmmm.

Default I contacted them this morning -

I called Impex this morning and spoke to a guy on the phone (didn't ask his name). I gave him my order # and he brought it up, it showed as "completed."

I asked about the wiper blade being a set (2 blades) or single. He said that it is a single blade (the part # 4b1955425b is for one blade, and the picture shows one blade). The left & right mean that the blade can go on either driver or passenger side.

Also, I think they updated the description on the webpage, they took off the part that you quoted in your post that says "set".

Anyway, I didn't want to get into a long argument just due to $15-25, so I'll take their word on this.

Default It seems that they did fix that part

they also sell blade inserts, I wonder if that works or not. Shows compatibility with the cars who have aero blades.

Default that sucks!!! I know for a fact that I didn't pay $30 for each blade.....

they must have caught the mistake on the site and changed it. That's plain dumb when we know that they can be sold for less since clair parts sells them for half that price!!!

Good work.

Default Update from world impex -

Well, if anyone still reads this thread, I must commend Impex - they sent me a 2nd blade that I just received yesterday, to make up for their website being incorrect at the time I ordered. They didn't charge me for the blade or shipping for it (well, I should go check my credit card statement later).

I didn't even request them to send me a 2nd blade as I went and got one from a guy I know that works at a local Audi dealership (he gets them cheap... $13.47 a blade!)
