While every customers' experience is different I just want to weigh in with my experience even though it was awhile back.
Timeline looked like this.
4/27/12 I placed my order sending payment
5/08/12 information was requested because my shipping address was in flux, I expected a wait on the transmission so I had left it that way at time of payment... my fault.
5/11/12 My first delivery came
5/28/12 My final delivery came
I was originally told 4 weeks from time of order.
My salesman was Paul,
Tonya the receptionist,
Josh was in charge of shipping,
I also spoke with the owner whose name is first name is Gray. His last name slips my mind at the moment but he called me personally when he heard that my transmission arrived in a damaged container. He had me run through a few checks for him and send some pictures in case a claim against UPS developed. Fortunately the contents were unharmed.
Based on my experience, I would do business with American Powertrain again.
