So far as I can tell, the P-T way now is to resolve the dispute, while totally protecting the vendor from any public negative feedback. That helps the vendor and may help the OP, but does little to protect the next guy to send a vendor hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, other than to provide a place to air his grievance when the vendor doesn't deliver.

Expensive aftermarket parts have become so prevealent in our builds these days, that it seems to me it's as important to have reviews of vendors as it is to have reviews of parts. Why shouldn't I be able to research vendor perfromance the same way I research part performance?

A well run and moderated Vendor Feedback forum, I think, would serve our community well.
