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. |

I came here to vent, not point fingers. In fact, the subtitle "vendors hate me" was intended to bring a little levity to the situation. I didn't name names because that's not important. After waiting for stuff to arrive, planets to align, and the wife to let me, I was hopeful.
The vendors involved were recommended to me. So they have a good reputation. This does not tarnish that. Things will work out. They always do. Meanwhile... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

While I agree with some of the comments, they themselves were of somewhat the same ilk as those they were commenting on. Its all good. |
