This only applies if they actually HAVE shipped the stuff and you're waiting on it.. otherwise, I can't help ya.

Most of amazon's UPS freight goes through the Tulsa hub. I guess that's in order to lower the load on Kansas City's hub, but we still get most of it..

Due to the weather, we only had 2 Amazon trucks come in last night, when we've been getting 5-7 every night previously. Since the world has cleared up a little and begun moving again, we had TONS of stuff to ship tonight. we unloaded 9 amazon trucks tonight, and when I left at 11:30 tonight (we usually leave around 9-9:30), there were still 3 more amazon trucks sitting outside to be unloaded. I'm pretty sure they left them there, because all the outgoing trucks (dallas, San-An, Houston, OK City, etc) were all full. I myself loaded 5 full trailers tonight and we usually only load 2-3 each. it's hard catching up after a storm like that where half the country is shut down for 2 days.

Don't say the "A" word around Shing for a while.

Ah yes Matt, but his order sat in the warehouse for a week, now almost a week and a half. Plust they managed to cancel his order last night or the night before. They just had their heads up their @$$ on this one.

Jeff.....don't have a VTC assembly or something -->

to fix and occupy your time rather than torturing poor Shing.



BTW, how's the head gasket/oil leak thing?

Low blow Bill!

Well so far the coolant has done much in the way of color change. I think I didn't flush it enough the first time. Verdict is still out and awaiting the Blackstone delivery.

Ok... here's the latest update on amazon.com.

If you track ups, they recieved a pickup manifest on Thursday at 2:30am. But some how or another the package was never actually picked up by UPS Thursday. After talking to them last night, it appears that they dropped my shipping order, and then did another one. So... there's now a pickup manifest for the OLD package but an order in for the NEW package. I have a tracking number for the OLD package. Yes this is very confusing. See on UPS website, it says that delievery is scheduled for today. But on amazon.com's, it's for monday. I can't figure it out...

Not only did they screw this one up, they screwed it up REALLY bad. I STILL have no idea what's going on... plus my charges are ALL messed up... I donno... weird.

I think I am going to update my webpage now.

Hey shing, I just read your update story. Amazon sucks!

At least you still have heat in your house. I am still waiting for the city government to send PG&E the gas inspection of my new house so that PG&E can send someone out to connect the gas line!!!! No heat, no hot water, and can't cook!
