mmi Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 every entity lines THEIR pockets and then trys to cheat everyone else. Last year ordered a piece of glass,requiring $150 "special" shipping, took 12 days and arrived in a too large , punch-ed single wall box NO packing. Was not permitted to order from atlanta dealer,with it SETTING in the atlanta warehouse. was sent 1500 miles the wrong direction, over 12 days to the iowa transfer depot.then BACK east. Along the way they kept taking the lowest bids,and handled it at least 58 x on /off/trucks/dock. xxxxx ordered a 2# package last week, 3 days on any snail map......but again there is huge profit in constant handling,or traveling 6 miles INSIDE the sorting center for days.

F-301066460puller Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 You should see how much your seed travels. Used to haul for Pioneer when they had the Leroy IL plant and I hauled some seed corn at harvest for Dupont. Insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 In the famous words of our ex president. "I feel your pain" I sometimes search for hours for a part on the interweb. Order it. Wait days for it to ship. Then get lost in someplace it never should have gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
