Nice! So if they do anything you don't like, you can leave a flaming sack of crap at their front door

Yea I'm moving back next Tuesday. Gonna stay for a little while. Have to get out of Dallas, one of the worst cities ever. Or at least the part of Dallas I'm in. Might stay for a year, might stay forever, just depends on finding a job I guess.

South Bay. I used to go to a lot of the Fremont/Milpitas meets like 4-6 years ago but not too many since then. I live near the Valley Fair area.

Well Initial Logistics really ****ed me over and now I don't think I will be able to get my car shipped back before my plane leaves on Tuesday.

I dunno how you had such good luck with them.

Really? Did you talk to Mike? He's always taken good care of me.

What exactly did they do?

Called them on monday, said I need it shipped out next monday. He gave me a ballpark price which was a bit cheaper than the other places I talked to. Said he would call around and call me back in an hour. This was at about 10 in the morning.

Night time comes, no call.

Next day at around 4pm, (Tuesday) I call him. He's like, "yea, oh yea, I'm just waiting to hear back from them. I will call you for sure by the end of the day. (8pm for them).

Nothing.

I call back on Wednesday morning and get nothing, have to leave a voicemail. I do asking them to call me back, giving them my number even though I know they already have it, but just in case.

Its Thursday and I still haven't heard anything yet.

Since my car needs to get shipped out in 4 days I am taking it to DAS who I don't really want to go through.

I mean how hard is it to call? Especially when he knew I was kind of worried since it was only a weeks notice.
