I wanted to touch base with all of you to let you know, that we have run into some problems with the shipment of the leaf springs.
2 packages, one is the hardware and one set of leaf springs is 4 hours away from us in Greensboro.
The 3rd package which contains the other leaf spring is stuck in NJ!!
UPS tells me that there is a problem with the box and the weight, which I can't figure out, because the other box that contains the springs is 10oz lighter than the one that is stuck in NJ.
One of my girlfriends said "let's take a drive and just go get them"!
Can't do that according to UPS. It is in "their" possesion and will not release them to me even with proper identification.
Needless to say, the car is being flatbeded tomorrow morning to the shop.
All items were supposed to be here Monday and we paid extra to get them here for 2 day shipping. Frank ordered them Wed. night.
So, with that said, I am just going to tell our mechanic to go ahead and remove everything and by the afternoon, the two boxes should be here, and the 3rd one on Tues.
(I'm going to play a dumb blonde
and say, "ut oh, the other box won't be here till Tues. Just got word about that.)
Talk about cutting it close, AND we have yet to take it for a long run to check out the new gears!!
