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. |

Got to love first world problems...
Agree it is frustrating when vendors make mistakes, but it is more frustrating when I thought I knew what I needed, ordered parts, dug into fixing the issue, then got educated on what was really needed. But hey, there's plenty of cold beer in the fridge and plenty of friends to share it with - always a silver lining if you look... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |
