Oh, ok. I misread.

I thought the LI flamin' asshole was as the main office.

Maybe it'll come soon.

At this point I'd be tempted to drive to Memphis and pick it up myself.

I wonder if you have any recourse? as in less payment or what have you? did you have a contract?

Getting tempted. They are telling the main shipping company that I will have it by end of day, but telling us that they won't deliver it until they find more vehicles to haul this direction. They are supposed to be working on getting a flatbed now and letting us know. Not holding my breath, as this is the 3rd time they've told me this.

They've said they'll knock of $250 if I come to Memphis to get it. I'd like to give them a boot up the ass while I'm at it.

What's the $250 in percentage terms? Then again it might be better to just get it in case something happens to it while it's sitting in Memfrica

I would take off $250 for every day it's late. Why it's late is no concern of yours. If they have a problem, they can take it up with the company you hired.

Hopefully you get it soon and it's even better than you expected.

pretty much......

today was a nightmare going back and forth with emails. Once I put Rob on the phone with them (which I should have done last week) and he let them know that his Dad (who works for the Shelby Co. Sheriff's Dept in Memphis) would be more than happy to go get it, they shaped up. It's scheduled to be here tomorrow at noon. Luckily it will be Dixie here and not me......I've got PMS and these assholes pissed me off. It's best if I don't see them at this point.

....and I got a flat today too. 3 month old car - tires only had 7,000 miles on them. Screw in the sidewall, and 2 days to get a replacement in (which will cost me another $50) and driving 60+ miles a day on a donut until it comes in.....

today =

I don't think I've ever picked up a nail in a tire more than a couple of months old, seems like that's always how it works.

It's now 5pm.......

.........we shall see.
