It's going to be the same almost wherever you go. Amazon does the same thing. Summit and Amazon don't build the part, they don't even stock it half the time. They just sell it. When an order comes in, they send the order to whoever made / stocks the part to ship it out. I've had a similar experience on Summit Racing with an exhaust system. It sucks, but I figured that was the risk in ordering a back ordered item.

I've used Summit Racing a lot. They are probably my #2 place for car parts after Rock Auto. Especially for aftermarket parts.
