Well the dash shipped, FedEx Freight. No delivery date yet but that was better than waiting forever. Pretty good service. They even followed up with an email asking if everything was ok with their handling of things.

You’ll have to take some meticulous notes and photos of the underside to see what if anything has changed. Plus you’ll be able to tell what is needed for reinforcement and where.
Back when I was looking, shipping was a kick in the stick since it needed to go freight because of the size.

Yeah, that’s why I bought it with 50% off shipping, maximum $100 savings so it only cost about $130 freight instead of $230.

I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for that kinda deal. Maybe I can get them to bundle a 2nd row bench with it. Ahh…wishful thinking.

The deal is still on, I think it's always ongoing. You have to spend $299 or more. I just noticed it covers up to $125 of the shipping cost. I went back and looked at my invoice and the dash shipping was $189 freight and I paid $95 after 50% off.

The dash was supposed to be delivered yesterday but I checked tracking and it said “emergency-delayed in transit”. So today I called and they said since it’s freight to a residence it requires an appointment and transferred me over to scheduling. I asked them why I never got any notice that I needed to schedule and they just said basically they’re too busy to get ahold of everybody because…they’re over run with freight. Seems if they scheduled some deliveries they might have less but wtf do I know? Have I mentioned I HATE FedEx? They’re just above DHL in the lousy shipping department. Anyway he said hey it’s right here in the warehouse, so I scheduled it for Thursday between 11-3. Idiots.

I think US mail might be close to Fed Ex. Only reason I got my injectors yesterday is because I went to the post office and asked about my package. The lazy as$ mail woman put on my tracking notice that she didn't have access to my mailbox--yet she put 3 letters in my box.

I haven't had a regular mailman in almost 5 years. When I 1st moved here the mail would be delivered before 9 am. That guy retired soon after and we haven't had a steady person since. Sometimes mail is here early am, sometimes after 5, sometimes we don't get mail for 3-4 days, then BAM--we have a $hit ton of letters. The part that really pissed me off was she lied. I def could use your mail lady ;) :naughty:

I have heard there’s problems. She says there’s a LOT of understaffing plus so many more packages with everybody shopping from home instead of going to the store. Most of the understaffing is people getting Covid and then everybody has to get tested they came in contact with and have to quarantine which means the ones still working have to fill in and after a year and a half they’re cracking, like a lot of companies. She has been working 1 1/2 routes forever, 10- 12 hour days most of the time, 6 days a week. She did take 2 weeks off in the last few months because she needed to rest and that was the only way to get it.

I can understand that, but my mail is just unreliable. For years I used to have a PO box, so it never mattered what time it was delivered. Oh well.

I got a pic but it’s not the best, I kinda felt like a creeper lol. She usually doesn’t wear the outer shirt, just a tank or tube top and she had her hair pulled back yesterday when i took this pic.

You’ll have to take my word for it, she’s pretty hot. I don’t think she wants her pic taken either, might get her in trouble.

The dash came today. No speaker hole. You can see the areas where they added ribs for reinforcement at the problem areas. I’m pretty sure that’s not there on the original parts. I’m gonna add plastic epoxy panel bond in there too. I’ll take pics of the old one when I pull it, for comparison.
