Old Man Emu Steering Stabilizer: Good price. I had it shipped to my work address, but somehow they combined my home and work addresses when they shipped it, so delivery was delayed because it was sent to an address that didn't exist. I checked the order confirmation and it listed the correct addresses, so I don't know what happened there… When it did get here I was a little suprised that it was shipped in it's orginal box (rather than putting it inside another box for protection). Then, another suprise when opening the box -it was packed with newspaper as cushion! (Okay, not newspaper, but OK4WheelDrive flyers. I'm guessing that this isn't how it comes shipped from the factory -why was it opened? -what happened to the original packing material? -I wasn't told that this was an “Open Item”). And then another suprise: No instructions! I went to call OK4WheelDrive, but the only phone number listed on their website is long distance. I shouldn't have to call long distance to get a problem corrected! So, I emailed their sales department. It took a couple days to get a response which said “Please let me know what part you need the install instructions for.” -I replied to the original order conformation, so they had all the information on what I ordered right there! Nevermind the instructions. It seems pretty straightforward. I will avoid ordering from
OK4WheelDrive in the future.
TeraFlex Sway Bar Disconnects: Good price. It took about a week to get here (I had it shipped to my apartment this time). No complaints. (I ordered this before receiving the steering stabilizer).
UPDATE: Well, a couple days after receiving the disconnects I got another set! They sent me 2 sets on accident (and, yes, I got charged for 2 sets as well). They said they'd call me at work on 5/9/03 to arrange for them to be shipped back and tht they'd take care of the extra charge on my credit card. So far (5/12/03) no call. Guess I'll have to call them (long distance and get this taken care of). Just called, got their UPS number to ship the package out and begged them to take the charge off my credit card NOW before I get charged interest on that extra $100 charge. They said they'd “take care of it”. I'll post again with their success/failure…
