so i ordered a replacement part for my weedeater...

tracking "unable to deliver as addressed"

i called the company to advise that my item is back enroute to them becuase they screwed up my address.

lady on the phone says "we go through 6 checks before we ship items, looks like some people arent paying attention..."


YOU THINK?

Nope, I deal with shipping all the time and nothing surprises me anymore. Stuff get broken and stolen all the time, shippers even have certain now requirements for high value items because they know there employees steal them

was trying to mpow this weekend... wouldnt stop raining. got my biggest yard started (an acre) and it came a down pour...

hauled everything back to town 8 miles away and it was getting dark but no rain... this yard takes a while to weedeat so i started weedeating it. got 3/4 of it done and jumped on the mower... surprise... rain. i kept mowing in the rain until i saw a bolt of lightning hit streets over from me..... i was 2 blocks from my house so i left. as soon as i hit the drive way hail and 50+ mph winds....

so i was done for the day on that. sunday i went back to the second yard after it got done raining and finished up that yard and the the clutch cable for the blades broke.... so now i have one of those on the way.... i could acutally be making money if crap would quit breaking....


and waiting on Feneix for my lights.... i doubt they will get here today on the day i needed them by.....

20 days and no new posts?

Last weekend after I call out I noticed 1 of my cannons had just upped and quit... double checked wiring after fusion install and it's nothing on my end... emailed feneix for a RMA to send this one back.

Since I don't want to take out the old one wait a week and put the new one back having to dismantle everything 2 times I decided to go the route of having to PAY for a replacement. When they receive the broken one I get a refund. Paid for it today and it's supposed to be here wednesday
