I've ordered a few things from China, they must all come on the "slow boat" LOL! (Bonus points if you get that!)

Right now, I'm waiting on a pair of sunglasses with camera.

BTW: Why do they call sunglasses and pants pairs when there is only one of them?

They call them glasses, because there's two lenses.
Similarly with pants. There's two legs.
People might look at you strangely if you walk into the men's dept. and ask for a pant.
Next time at the eye doctor, ask him whether you need glass or not.

Ummm....NO...You ask for GLASSES nitwit, and PANTS.

The whole point is, by nature, THEY ARE PAIRS! Soooo.... If you ask for a PAIR....do you want one or two?

Ok...a pair of socks makes perfect sense, but if I have a pair of underwear on, I've zoned out and dressed twice!

I had a head built for my go kart. Due to a break down in communication, it's about a week behind schedule.
You know what?
I'm not worried about it, it'll get here when it gets here.

Where im at you just add a day to anybodies shipping date. Nothing gets here on time.

Reminds me of the scene in OBrother where art you, when he's at the store asking for supplies and his answer is "it will take about 2 weeks"
He exclaimes it seems like your 2 weeks from anywhere.

I've tracked shipments that have past my locale twice before actually getting to me.

Funny how that works. I see the same thing.
I've seen stuff go to a hub in Vegas, pass my door to be sorted in PHX, and then pass my door again to get delivered to the local delivery folks, who then pass my door to deliver in the little town 12 miles away for me to go pick up.

I suppose that's the price for not living downtown in a congested city.

Maybe they we're confused by the Location, Location on the label, wise arse.

Soon enough you can order from Amazon and get a drone delivery!


Well looks like MFG Supply is going to be the winner. Just checked tracking and my axle is in town! Could probably order another one from them and get it before JACKS.

It doesn't appear to be getting any better.
Earlier they said the part would be in the 10th.
Now it says the 13th.


Yah they suck. just checked mine and it did say 23rd now says 2/25/2017.

My axle from MFG is not here today. but tracking says its in town so almost. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm starting to get a visual here.

There's this dude, Jack, selling stuff all over the internet, and collecting money.
UPS shows up every morning, and dumps a 40 foot trailer on him full of little boxes.
He then has to go through each box, and put the parts on a shelf.
He takes the parts off, rewraps them and puts them in a box with a few other parts of the order, but the order isn't full yet, so he puts the box aside, and tries to fill others.

Then UPS shows up again to pick up orders to send out, but they're not ready yet, and he can't box up any more anyways because he has to get online and order more parts to fill the orders that aren't quite filled yet.

In the meantime, fed ex shows up with their 40 foot trailer of stuff he has to sort through and stock.
The phones constantly ringing, and 'ol jack can't answer it because he's too busy.
Now it's time to go to lunch. He has two pitchers of beer at lunch, heads back to the office, puts a few parts in some boxes, and viola! an order is filled. He rejoices, calls it a day and goes heads home.

We'll never see our stuff. This guy is lost in a warehouse full of boxes coming in, and he's too busy putting it all on shelves to send any of it out, but in the meantime his bank account is bulging and about to blow up.

Then some drunk guy shows up, wearing a glass and one pant, trying to borrow money to buy a stolen boat.

BBQJoe is the last person I'd consider for a vendor review and how that vendor's performance pertains to speed of delivery. Joe might as well be living on the moon for all intents and purposes.


I bought some lawnmower parts from Jack's recently, no issues.

Are you wanting for that I should write a review?

Of course my location has no bearing on how fast an outfit manages to get parts into a box and shipped.
