Angry Venting steam.....

I am beyond heated right now. After they shipped my engine block back to Canada, I had to wait for it to be reshipped finally on the 13th of July (with a new bill of lading). Now that it's on its way, there seems to be a delay out in Ohio where it is located at the time. This is the same shit that happened to me last time when I didnt get the motor. I swear if I don't get the block this time......

Had everything gone all well the first time, I would of had this by the 17th of last month! My car's been down since the 23rd of April and it's really getting to me now....



The problem that occured last time, was that it didnt pass US Customs because it was billed as an Engine block which they took as an engine long block......even though it's a short block (from my understanding, long blocks have to go through custom, not short blocks). I told him to ship it under "Engine Parts" this time, so I really hope he did so.....

Thanks for the advice man. I actually just got back from working out. That helped me out a lot, especially since I haven't done so in about a month. I feel alive again, and my mind is so much clearer. I guess that's all I really needed.

Be patient man. I'm sure the wait will be worth it even though of all the bs going around. I'm sure things will work out for the best.

Better get you a new battery to boot. hahah Good to see your block made it. I am waiting on my spoiler from that Nick fella that was selling the two spoilers. I bought one of them. He should have gotten the bank draft via certified mail today. I hope he is on the level. That was the purpose of the certified letter. I figured it would serve as a record of the transaction.
