Default Never fails..

Whenever I order something it's never in stock, the delivery gets messed up, ect.... Well I called More on Tuesday to order 2 Random Cats. I ordered them 2nd day to get them Friday (Today) So I cut my exhaust off my headers since I welded extentions on them. All ready for the cats. Well today I come home from work and no cats. I call More up and they call Random up since they were going to be drop shipped from them. More calls me back and Random said they wern't shipped yet since they were not in stock. Would have been nice if Random told More about this, So they could have told me. So now they say they won't have any till next Friday so I shouldn't see them till Monday or Tuesday of the following week, and since I cut my system up I can't even drive my car. Always my luck :mad Anyone have 2 3" Slip, Bullit random cats laying around?

Here are some other problems this month... I sent my computer out for the reprogram and Fed ex delivered it to the wrong house, 4 days later I get it after paying for next day.(But of course it's not thier fault) I order a auto x-ray from Advance auto Friday for Sat. They forgot to put it on the truck, so I got it sunday. The list goes on.....

I won't even get into UPS screwing me over. Fed Ex delivers to one street over, UPS delives to the other side of the town. Ups has miss-delivered over the years, Pistons, 2000 wheels, a computer, an exhaust, gears, and more...
Ups has about a 1 in 5 chance of me getting my stuff
Fed-Ex is about 1 in 4.

The UPS driver that had my wheels had all 4 in his truck. He took 2 accross town, one to the next street over, and took the other 1 back to the office.They all had the exact and proper label on each wheel.
They also lost a set of Mufflers I sent to Texas. They said they disapeared but never paid me for them. I can go on and on..... :crazy: :crazy:

..... :crazy: :crazy:
:lol: Sorry Rich I had to laugh at that one. That sucks! What was the driver thinking, "the car can be at a possible 2 different locations so why not try them both? Oh well, at least you are saving some good mileage on the Vette. Thats how I look at it when things like this happen to me, makes me feel better.

no not yet, but it is the weekend and everyone is off. Hopefully Monday Random will e-mail me back to say how soon they will be shipping again. I want to run the car on the 23rd to get a little time in the car before the first challenge date.
