I'm kinda frustrated with Assaultech!

I ordered my Exoticspeed R1-T on Friday, the last week of June and they said that I would have it at my door the following Friday, July 2nd. Monday comes around...no tracking number! Call them up, no answer. Call them Tuesday, no answer. Finally I called Exoticspeed directly and they said that they got a Purchase Order from them that afternoon! Remember I ordered on Friday and they just now got an order form through on Tueday.
I check UPS to see when it's scheduled to get here...not until Wednesday, July 7th.
What really sucks is that I was hoping to have it installed in time for the cruise-in that was taking place tonight in town!
I dont know if it's worth calling them up to complain about the time it took to get this sent to me or not.

Well thanks for letting me vent.

i know it sucks, i know we hate waiting, i know resellers will give you crazy fast delivery times... but it all comes down to this: anything you order, triple the estimated delivery time. I would still get a hold of them and get a reason why they promised you a date that they had no way of making.

I'm frustrated becasue they told me that I would have it by Friday but they didnt put the order through until Tuesday. The other thing is the couple of times I called them, they didn't answer the phone.
I tend to get impatient when I order something, I just want to get it and install it ASAP, but I think that goes for everybody.

most of the time when ppl put in an order to drop ship something it takes like a day to process...putting the order in on friday did not help either. Your rpretty lucky though this is only a minor delay...

yeah, you're right. But I was really hoping to have it installed so I could show it off at the cruise-in.

Yeah, e-checks. I dont know why people still use those. IT seems like over the last year or 2 people have used them less and less though, which is good. Maybe paypal is phasing that out.

E-check isn't really even a paypal transfer per se. It is an electronically processed personal check.

I dont know anyone who doesnt have a debit card in this day and age, and when you use that, funds are transferred immediately. E-checks are only used when you are using personal check routing numbers to transfer funds out of your bank checking account via paypal...which is basically like writing a personal check.
