|  I hate waiting for parts!!! So Ive had my truck tore down for almost a week now, waiting on my new axle tubes to come in the mail, but everyday the mail comes, and still no knock at my door. Ive done just about everything I can do to my rig while Im waiting, but Im about out of ideas. Why does it seem that the mail runs so much slower when youre waiting for something? |

| It only runs quick when you're going to get the wrong parts, I finally got my bike together after 3 weeks yesterday, that doesn't seem like a long time till you go basically without any exercise, then go try to ride like before. |

| Playing the waiting game sucks. I have enough parts in the mail to almost build a crawler, so its been a long wait. I have been waiting for some of the parts for almost 3 weeks. I should get used to it, since it always takes a long time shipping to Canada  |

| I was waiting for axles from tower, i had them express shipped so i would get them before i left for Nat's. I waited until the last possible moment and still no axles. I left for Unimogers house, show up an hour and a half later, and receive a call from the misses. There here. Well $hit turns out the UPS guy lives down the road from me and figured he'd go home and eat dinner before he returned his truck and dropped off my package on his way back. !@#$%^&* I hate my UPS driver, made me late to mogers house, late to leave montana, had to stop in saltlake and pick some up so that was another hour out of our way, all because the driver couldnt stop at my house before dinner. Either way UPS got a less than freindly call  |

| I hate UPS, even though USPS is kinda slow, I have way better luck actually getting my stuff, even though it takes longer. I bought a wheel and tire for my Harley of ebay one time, and had it shipped to my parents house. My parents live on Robert Drive, but UPS delivered it to an abandoned house on Robert Road, and left it on the front porch. I found it after about 2 weeks, but I couldnt believe it was still even there. I will do anything to avoid UPS after that experience |
