I have on order a '35 hot rod pickup and it has been completed since April 28th. Stewart trucking has told me over the course of 3 weeks that load-up was going to happen any day. The first date they gave me was May7. That came and went. Long story short they said they would be loading up tomorrow but their driver quit and they had to send a recovery driver to get the truck in IL and will miss the load up. We've gone from them taking my order in April with the promise of pickup no later than 7 days after your complete date and no more than 10 days from then to delivery, to constant delays.
Now they are saying it will be at my house on June 4th. That's a bummer because I took 18 days off of travel for my job to accept delivery and the 4th is when I go back on the road. They are refusing to make an accommodation and suggested a friend or acquaintance take delivery for me. That's not an option really.
I've e-mail Factory Five and hope to hear from them in the morning about alternative but hearing from the community would be helpful too.
I can always rent a trailer and drive to Boston from Minnesota and pick up, but I would like to avoid a 3000 mile trip over memorial day weekend.
I will say this has soured the whole experience. All the vendors have my money and I have nothing to show for it except an inflexible shipper that's tied to the hip with FF.
Thanks in advance for the ideas.
