So I've been waiting for the correct cylinder head nuts and washers from Auto Atlanta and finally the delivery arrived. Having so little time to work on this project, I figured that I'd get back to it after work around 7 pm. I opened the package to find... the wrong washers and 12 out of 16 nuts wrong... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) $46.93 and they couldn't get it right. So now I guess I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow morning to try to get this right.

I just need to vent. Frustrated!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |

working on my first 914 ! Group: Members Posts: 651 Joined: 13-April 16 From: Holland, the Netherlands Member No.: 19,896 Region Association: Europe |
I did send mails to AA and 914rubber and other suppliers with questions, none have returned my mails, so I thought that is how it works in USA, just different than here in Europe, so I accepted that and will call if I really need an answer.
First I was not ordering at 914rubber or AA because of the enormous shippingcosts they charge to Europe (they use the ultra expensive carriers, even for small items this adds up a lot , read : out of proportion) so I was making a list to order a lot at once to save money, but now I am put back by customerservice/quality experiences as well. It is not said that it will happen to me too (there must be a lot of happy customers as well everywhere), but I will see what I can find in Europe first before I endulge myself with the same possible-to-happen frustrations in the process. |
