BTS – The Raw Truth About Lead Times

You clicked checkout, spent thousands of hard-earned dollars... and now you’re stuck wondering if your order will ever get fulfilled. We get it — lead times are terrible. We also hate waiting for parts. But what's worse than waiting? No communication. Some random vendor with the lowest price takes your money and just parks the order with no ETA. The lack of honesty, transparency, and follow- through is worse than the lead time itself.

At ORT Motorsport, we don’t play that game.

When we quote a lead time, it’s not a guess — it’s based on what we know is actually available and allocate-able. We work closely with manufacturers and suppliers to

verify what's in stock, what's being built, and what's realistically deliverable. If we don’t have solid info? We don’t promise anything. That’s it. Whether it’s suspension kits, intercoolers, or forged wheels built from scratch, we only take your money when we know the part can be delivered in a reasonable timeframe.

We pride ourselves on transparency. We've rebuilt our website to reflect live inventory wherever possible, and we don’t want your money unless we can deliver. That “take the order and figure it out later” mentality? That’s for amateurs. Some of these new-wave dealers will promise overnight delivery on a part that’s 16 weeks out — just to get the sale. That’s a young man’s game. It’s also a disservice to the industry. We’d rather walk away from a sale than hold your cash for months and hit you with the classic “oh sorry, it’s unavailable.”

We’ll always give it to you straight — even if it costs us the order. That’s how we’d want to be treated. And we figure you do too.
