a lot of sellers use Fed-ex, I can't understand why.
I usually get the late train response when tracking my orders.

I tried to pick up a package from a hub once and they wouldn't let me do it.

good luck

I talked my wife into calling her boss to get permission to work from home today. Gotta love the VPN hook-up and wireless internet at the house so she can do it. My only fear now is that she will sell the tires before I get home to but some "foo foo" decorations for the house.::Censor::

You should talk her into letting you use them. At the speed you drive they will be worth the same amount in a few years, she can sell them then!::Clown::

The tires got delivered but the wife says they are 205/55/VR16 instead of 205/45/VR16. Is the difference in the aspect ratio going to matter in a lowered car?

Doing the math... it comes to another 0.8" (20.5mm) added to the diameter of the wheel... how much clearance do you have? Also, it will make your spedo read slow...

I've got FM Springs and KYB shocks but I really don't know the clearance until I measure it.

Send em back. If it aint what you ordered, make them swap and use a good delivery company to boot.

Aw shut up::Clown::

"Ralphie" at onlinetires.com is going to overnight ship the correct size tires and Fedup is picking the incorrect ones up tomorrow at school. The ladies in the front office are just going to love having 4 tires sitting next to their desks tomorrow.

I think that's one of the more disturbing things I've seen on this board... aside from Billy's wheels...

This morning I log on to see to see if they are being held.....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO They are back on the truck for delivery AGAIN!!::Bawl::

Leave a note on the door instructing the driver ot leave the package, and sign it. I've had to do this with FedEx before.

Or, call and bitch often enough, and your account will be marked "signature on file". :wink:

Of course, that won't stop them form failing to deliver it properly. ::Censor:: FedEx.

Fedex showed up yesterday with the correct tires and they are on the car. I actually got above 55 today...........................in a 90 degree turn:D
Thanks for the recommendation of the Hankooks. Now I have to get an alignment.
