:Ehsan's Pakistani Soft Top

[theo]

OK OK I'm calm. Really. No really I'm calm. Not a problem. Calm as the early morning sea. Calm as a cucumber. Seriously, no really, no worries. I'm fine. Honest. . . .

ps - I'm against the draft.

 

[ehsankiani]

Believe it or not, I also thought about that, as did Ehsan, and it is being pursued.

So remain calm... unless you want to get drafted into fixing this mess.

I sent you a mail regarding the reply I got from the shipping company
Ehsan

 

[merbesfield]

did anyone get anything else on this order that they no longer need that might work for an LV? such as the front license plate holder or a rear bumper? If not, Ehsan, add those to my list.

Chris
Are you going to the Round-Up? If you are and if you have the container by then, I'll just pick up my tailgate from you there. If it's convenient.
Thanks
Peter

 

[valkyrie610]

I am indeed, if I have it I'll bring it.

Please add a beer for the delivery fee...

 

[peterb]

Great! Are you a bourbon drinker by chance?

 

[valkyrie610]

Why, yes I am...

 

[peterb]

You're set. See you at the Round-Up.
Thanks
Peter

 

[valkyrie610]

LOL! Certainly not necessary, but I thank you sir.

 

[FJBen]

waaaaaaay long shot...but if anyone is bailing on a paki top order, I'll jump in and buy theres

 

[bull]

Where is the shipment now?

 

[valkyrie610]

Not in port... still waiting.

 

[joemck7]

I thought that it arrived in Long Beach already?

 

[valkyrie610]

So did I.

Apparently, the paperwork is there, it preceeded the shipment. The earlier report that is had landed was incorrect.

I have no word on ETA, but ARB has their port/customs guy on it...

 

[peterb]

Just when I thought this situation couldn't get any more weird...

 

[big al]

so does this mean that the shipment will end up in Washington like originally planned, or is it still going to Texas???

 

[valkyrie610]

Still shooting for Texas if it continues to look like it will save us money... as long as we can get a portion of the freight (Long Beach > Seattle) refunded.

It's become a real PITA, but I am waiting to hear from Ehsan.

I am following this all the thread. The shipping company tells me that it was ARB that requested a redirect of the shipment. They even sent me a copy of the faxed request. What I will do is that I will ask the shipping company's reps in the US to contact you. I am told they did try contacting you but could not get through. I will send out an email right now.

[valkyrie610]

They tried contacting me when??? My cell is with me 24/7, I am on a computer 14 hours a day... was it a carrier pigeon that couldn't find my office?

This is crazy...

Like I told you before, when the shipping company told ARB they were offloading our crate in Long Beach, ARB told them to not re-send it to Seattle but to truck it to Dallas as it would have been as cheap if not cheaper. That was a good call.

Right now, it's not even on the ground!!!

Don't mean to shout, but getting an email reply from you has been difficult, I have to drag the details out over the course of three emails to figure out what the heck is really going on and we end up in circles.

My group has been incredibly patient over the last year (link to timeline), and I would like to end this on good terms, but this is silly.

Soo.... Why isn't the stuff on the ground? What is the ETA? When are you gonna send me a name and number of this "mystery person" who has been so diligently trying to contact me?

I have a headache...

Chris, I just want to thank you again for all of the hard work you are putting in on this. It is GREATLY appreciated. You're the man!!!
