I see how this can suck the life out of you so to speak. There have been times like that for me. My saga still hasn't ended since my last post. It is still sinking a bit. My TPMS sensors and lug nuts were supposedly delivered by USPS while I was gone for a few days even with a mail hold in place. There are times, like now, when the pessimism starts to creep back in. So USPS tracking says they were delivered. I have a locked mailbox that only the postal person and I have a key too. No lugs, and no TPMS were waiting for me when I returned early from my trip. When they delivered my mail today, they weren't with the mail. I checked all my neighbors to see if somehow they got them.
If I hadn't done the brakes, I'd be fine. Here I am, a month later and I still can't really drive my car as I don't have my own wheels on my car. So now I am going back to the vendor to see if they have any info about my TPMS and lugs, as well as chasing the post office. I didn't worry about it too much when it said they were delivered while gone and mail hold in place as the postal person just brought everything later.
Nope, not this time. So I have my nice mail hold document delivered with my mail, and no lugs or TPMS. They were supposed to bring my mail on Monday so I had my tire install schedule for Today. This is after I originally had it scheduled for last week but the hurricane screwed up the shipping.
I am now on my 3rd, soon to be 4th, rescheduling of my tire install. At least I have the wheels and tires ready to go once I get the other stuff. Unfortunately, the tire place is getting backed up and the last time I moved my appointment, I couldn't get it to the next day; it was bumped 2 days. I almost regret not going with the factory wheel option. Then I remember what a cluster that has been for so many. None of this would be as much of an issue if my aftermarket wheels were supposed to fit like I was told they would. I could roll on them until everything else was sorted out.
I have to keep reminding myself these are first-world problems. Still can be a pretty frustrating time. At the rate I am going, you might actually be rolling in yours before I get my TPMS and lugs, and finally have the wheels on the car.
Hope you get yours sorted out quickly.
