Getting a little frustrated. My mower is down. Kohler 25hp crapped out the plastic fan and debris guard. Broken bolts, messed up aluminum spacers etc. Was late on a Saturday when I got it apart to figure what I needed.
So to the web to find parts. Found a place in Oregon that happened to have the best price, and due to the time difference, would get shipped out that day( Saturday) via USPS 2-day priority.
Tracking # showed it being in Pontiac MI (looks like a northern suburbs of Detroit about 3hrs away) at 3am monday morning. Thinking the chances were slim, but still possible to get to the local post office and I would have it Monday.
Well it didn't show. Next update wasn't until 4am Tuesday where it arrived at a southern suburb if Detroit, and a note saying package is delayed and no estimated delivery time as of yet.
Really. 25 hours to get across town. Now knowing I ain't gonna have it Tuesday, I set up E-mail alerts. I get an email at 8am Tues saying it departed. Thinking at least I'll get it today (Wed). My phone showed another e-mail at 8pm. Thinking it may have arrived at my local post.
Nope, says departed MI again and mysteriously the 8am departure info disappeared. But I still have the email.
Another email at 2am again. Same thing. Departed MI again and the previous info disappeared??? Still the note about the delay. But no indication as to why.
So going on 12 days without cutting the grass and God knows when I'll get parts now. It's not like there was anything hazardous or anything that could have broke open and spilled.
Anyone ever deal with anything like this? Going on 5 days now on 2-day shipping.
