Default hmotors shipping charges and overall ordering experience

Just ordered a complete B18C egnine swap w/LSD from Steve at Hmotors. Is 350.00 dollars shipping/handling legit? Shipping is to a residence in Oregon so it doesnt have to travel that far...just seems a little steep to me. Other than that things couldnt have gone any better. Customer service was superb and Steve even swapped out shift linkages for me! So far a great experience buying through hmotors...just cant wait to get the engine!

Yea they are great. I got my motor on Monday and I am swapping it now. I live next to the place so I just picked it up, otherwise he wanted $150 to ship, which I could understand because it is a heavy item

One of my customers got an H22 from them, ordered on Thursday night, accord was running wednesday. It took e-bay 10 days to ship my flywheel, so if these guys can get a huge shipment that quick, these guys gotta be the best there is, so $350 is well worth it.

*This particular motor was missing mounts and halfshaft, but they were easy to work with.

I ordered a B20 from them and the shipping company sat on it for like two weeks. The shipping company said they didnt have my phone number but it was attached to the shipping manifest attached the the pallet so I dont know why they were being retarded.

Also, they wouldn't refund my money even though their slogan is you get a full refund if your shipment isnt received on time.

Whatever though, shipping companies have you by the ***** so you gotta just take it in the *** and smile.

Hmotors kicks ***, they have great customer service. That above post was complaining about the shipping company they use, USFBestways.

Just wanted to clarify

hmotors has good customer service . i'm in the military and my credit car address isn't the same as my mailing address and they "usually don't take orders of that nature" (what i was told) but they worked with me and sent me a b16 in really good condition and not a scratch on it. not even the valve cover had a flaw. good luck with your swap.

I order my h22 from them like two months ago. Customers service is great if you talk to steve. Steve shipped out the motor within three days and recieved the motor within two weeks. But shipping is expensive from steve. He quoted me 175 for shipping than two days later when i was ready to buy the shipping came out to 375. So i told him I pick it up at the terminal and it came down to 300.
other than that they have great service and the motor was washed/clean on the outside. overall i would order from Steve again.

It was roughly $175 shipped to a business in Pennsylvania...answered all my questions, ordered it on a thursday, shipped friday, arrived at the shop the following wednesday...BEAUTIFUL b18b, if the belts wern't a tad worn you'd swear it was rolled off the line, and someone stole the motor before it was even fired up...only complaint was they sent me 2 broken axles ;(
