New stuff arrived today.

Well I finally got my pieces that I ordered fro the Ex today. First I need to vent. Sorry, but on all the ordering that I do online I always say to place the piece in the backyard if the Ex is not in the driveway. I guess that request is far to complicated for the UPS, or FED EX drivers to do. Since on the boxes it states what I said above "place in backyard if Excursion is not in the driveway. The drivers have to scan the product before they deliver it anyway. One would think that they would notice the print on the label. Or maybe they could see it when they walk the 60 feet to the porch. Sorry no mansion here its only another 45 feet or so around the corner of the house. Two orders, UPS and FED EX delivered today both cannot follow request. I say they should merge together and call them FED UP. Sorry for the B@t*ch.Back to the title. My light bar from defiant arrived and looks great.My dash kit that was ordered from deisel performance parts arrived. I opened it up and right off the bat, I noticed that the color was off just a little. Maybe I'm just really picky, but I went outside right away and compared the two. The pieces that I already have on there from the factory to the pieces that I purchased. Pieces that I already had were factory (console, and door). I ordered the window button area(all four doors), and dash. The pieces that were ordered like I said above look a shade darker.Any input if the factory pieces fade over time to a slightly lighter color?Thanks

I used to ship, writing the instructions on the label, again on the box and highlighting them yellow highlighter rarely works. Worse than that, UPS has an option where someone must sign for the package, the board they carry will not allow them to deliver without a signature. We would get the confirmations with the weeks shipping bill, every couple of weeks, the signature would be "driver release", they just left it regardless of us wanting a signature.


The pieces will fade, as in get lighter. There are only so many shades available too, if it's only one shade off, then your very lucky.
