Well fuck me, I was taking a shit this morning, looking thought Garage Bluebird to order some stuff and everything's out of stock... I'm thinking, the fuck happened? Now I'm depressed. I feel like I've been wronged, you owe me a couple baggies of green stuff... don't slack, I know what you guys have there in WA.
Anyways, people often forget how hard it can be to deal with business issues on top of family/work/life issues. It's easy to examine a problem over the internet, and rail someone for a couple lost dollars over the last few months. People just get really upset over a non-essential 'item' and a little wait. Shit, I understand being upset about not getting something you paid for, but Christ, someone threw gasoline on this fire with that last thread after the FB drama. Tristin has always been one of the more respected Datsun guys in my eyes, don't really know him too well, but you can tell a lot about someone's character by how they conduct themselves online. (Easy to run your mouth on the interwebz) Tristin, good on ya man. I hope whatever got in your way is handled and you can put your focus back into bettering your business. FWIW I think you did an excellent job executing it to this point, shit happens and it gets tough sometimes, but I think you've done a good job of trying to set it right.I have no problem spending some money with you when everything is A-OK again. EDIT: Shipping is a bitch. I can't tell you how many times I've been fucked by USPS, so keep in mind... sometimes what 'seems' like BS on the part of the shipper, may be what he's communicated by the shipping company. USPS bounced around some parts I shipped to a Ratsun'er from one side of the US to the other, and sent it right back to me. TWICE. I also lost a few essential parts in the mail at one point, tracking just stopped, and they never tracked it down. After some discussions with the post master general they showed up with a check for my lost money at my front door. Hell, I even sent a check out to DTP once using my banks online checking, took MONTHS to get a replacment after the original showed up fucked up. I called the bank probably 10 times trying to get a status update. Turns out I was getting the runaround. One day I managed to get someone helpful to handle it and it was fixed in a week. Moral of the story, it's not always the shippers/sellers fault.
