Bus Depot

Post by Tom »

In the past I have ordered my parts on-line and I usually wait 3 or 4 days for delivery, I had heard people say phone orders were quicker. Well they were right, I ordered a couple of things yesterday afternoon and they arrived today . So the lesson has been learned . Also, why are they asking me if I want to pay for expedited shipping ? What are they going to do beam it to me ?
I'm not an air cooled snob , I like them all !

We're 1 day away by standard shipping from Bus Depot. But, that's something you learn from using them over and over. They don't really know how long things take to get to their destinations. Sure,there is a table that UPS and FedEx have to estimate, but it's no promise of delivery.

I always call in the order. You loose a day just in them having to taker off the interwebs.
