| | Shifter Kit - Another DELAY announcement Shifter Kit - Another DELAY announcement
Folks - solely due to just one part # all in a singular lost box, we may have to again move out our July 14 go live date for the Shifter Kit. The box, out of a valuable shipment was lost by DHL. (NEVER, EVER use DHL).
We have kits all complete, waiting for this one part. DHL has been searching for it for coming up on two weeks. This sucks very bad for us, we have a ton of money into parts now. We are just eating the inventory costs big-time. I know many of you have been PM'ing and emailing us. We just can't take prepayment when we don't have a hard date. If we have to get the part manufactured again, we aren't sure of a due date yet.
We are praying that this breaks free and the parts arrive soon - but at this point that would truly be a miracle. We will keep you informed.
Thanks,
Paul and Jim |

Crazy I know! We didn't even know this - DHL said they would cover it when the search was on - then after they annouced the package officially lost they said "read this".....and sure enough it does say it in writing!!    I was SO pissed......and really I anger slowly if at all (very rarely)...at some point I just closed my cell phone and threw against the desk.
DHL = Don't Hope Lost |

| | Re: Shifter Kit - Another DELAY announcement Things are looking better. We placed a new order for the missing part.....we should roll out the whole ball of wax the 19th or so.
Also - freight no matter where in the contiguous USA will be $20. $219 gets you a Shifter Kit. |
