| | Posted : 30 Mar 2011 - 02:54 Post title : Two phrases I have come to HATE | | | I recently ordered some parts for my rear wheel,[bearings,seals,etc.for my Bird, re: rear wheel drive hub] and got a repsonse of BACK ORDER which means,none of the warehouses these people use,have these parts in stock.But they are still looking at other parts supply sources.The other words I have come to hate are: NATIONAL BACK ORDER,which means this part is NOT available anywheres in the country.The good news is that I don't need these parts right away,so I can wait.But just imagine if ya needed em to get your bike,car,truck,etc. back in service.And the really bad news is that there's not a whole lot you can do about it.lol I have run into these two phrases too many times over the years when tryin to repair somethin.Hence I have learned to hate em. lol Dave!!!

i was suprised that a week later it was in.... from spain!!
heres hoping you will get lucky
but you have hit the nail on the head ( probably giving it a headache too) that when we order stuff, we like it within a reasonable time, if its not in stock - a week is a reasonable time anythink over that is simply too long and it shouldnt be oh if your lucky......
a thing i hate is they expect PAYMENT when you order.
i put a deposit down wonder if thats why the seat came early???
