ARGH! Received my summit order. Only one of each valve. Double checked slip. One of each valve. I know I had issues getting the website to take "8" in the quantity area on both, but was sure I had succeeded.
Double check receipt I had saved from the order screen. Nope. Looks like I was foiled. Stupid site had once again changed number back to "1" on me without me catching it the last time. What is it with these glitchy sites?
Went back to order 7 more of each. Now, only 6 more intake valves are in stock. One would be back ordered. Dang it! Order 1 more intake and 7 more exhaust. Get free shipping that way.
Check with Jegs. In stock, according to site. Order valves at higher price so I won't have to wait 3 weeks for them to arrive. Complete order with some expansion plugs to get free shipping. Find out, they also charge tax where Summit doesn't.
Check order status this morning. Jegs is sending everything but valves. WTF! Check with site. Valves are backordered. ARGH!
Call them. 3 weeks out. F'n hell. Idiocracy and people failing to do their job really is a pet peeve of mine. Why list in stock and ready to ship then?
Still waiting on my intake. Bought from ebay seller. Turns out, they are just a distributor. Didn't have them in stock either. The Performer EGR manifolds are on back order till the end of the month from Edelbrock. This goes with any place that lists them.
Bulltear will be a few more weeks on their legend Valve covers. I knew this going in, though. Sweet sale price on a sweet look I couldn't pass up. I can always (hopefully) get a cheapie set from scummit or jigs if they are still too far out for the assembly time.
Just ranting. Between morons at work F'n everything up and idiots running websites, and idiots in general, I'd like to pour some arsenic in the gene pool.
Still doesn't really change anything. I can drop the Jeep and parts I have off this weekend. It'll be 2-3 weeks before the guy can get to it anyway. Then, probably another couple of weeks before he needs the valves and intake.
Another $103 to summit to get the number of valves I needed.
Another $115 to Jegs to rape me while I wait.
Total now at $2702.50
