Relieved, Enthused,Disgusted

After many months of deliberating on a front brake upgrade on my truck and with the many responses through the forum which I greatly appreciate , I made the decision and 'Bit the Bullet' through a reparable source and was RELIEVED I made the right decision. The ENTHUSIASM to finally make the decision and have the parts needed on the way was an extra boost to my build and moral attitude boost. After a month of communication and waiting, delivery has finally arrived to finish my visions. Alas, what could go wrong? A DOUBLE ORDER of Two different vehicle parts and to sort through, 7 boxes of 48-56 and 53-55 parts. Looks like a Long weekend of sorting, inventory and pictures of my shipment then to arrange return shipment.
Relieved of the decision -Yes
Discussed to say the least
RANT OVER!

I feel you, happened to me with parts I got in from Canada. Took me 6 months to get it all sorted out, hope you have better luck than I and you get it all straightened out quickly.

Sorry to hear about your shipping woes. There's almost nothing worse than finally getting your shipment only to realize that someone screwed up somewhere and now you're back to square one.....agh!

I'm sure you'll get it straightened out

UPDATE!!

Well after Numerous calls and E-Mails I finally got the double order sorted and repacked for return shipment . I wanted to especially thank Diane and the Folks at Mid-Fifty for the patience, understanding and dedication to completely satisfy their customers . I couldn't have asked for better response to my situation. Just have to get to work and finish this part of the build.
