I was planning to get my tank back in and get the car running this weekend. I had the tank lined, and I got a pump, filter, lines, etc. etc. etc. I had to order a couple of things from vendors here.
Vendor 1: I ordered brake lines from one company last weekend. I never heard anything. I called them today with the order number to check on it. "Uh, we can ship that today." I asked for my PayPal payment back. They said they would refund it, but they haven't yet. I'm certain I'll be calling them again. If they can lose my order, they can forget to refund my money. Vendor 2: I ordered a 5 piece fuel line. I got 4 pieces. Perfect. I'm all for vendors succeeding, but hey, if I send you my money, you should work hard to get it right. Oh well. Rant mode off. |

Usually the 5th piece is in a box with hoses or in a bag with the invoice and instructions. I rushed to meet your request of speedy delivery for a weekend install so I might have made a mistake. Expedited shipping is a big challenge due to my shipping department being understaffed right now. |
