My replacement tire arrived from Onlinetires.com, but it was not alone.
I ordered the tire on Monday evening and specified 2 Day Shipping (for which I paid almost as much as the tire for.) Figuring they would pull and ship my order on Tuesday and I would get it on Thursday. When Tuesday passed and I didn’t get a tracking number I wasn’t too worried, they are in California and there is that pesky 3-hour time difference thing going on.
By midday on Wednesday and still no tracking number, I figured I had paid two-day shipping rates for three-day. I called and the fellow that answered the phone said he would tell shipping to email me my tracking number. It finally showed up later that day with the disclaimer that it wouldn’t be active until later that night. Now I was sure the tire wouldn’t get here until Friday.
This morning I clicked the tracking number and lo and behold they were shipping it FedEx overnight, that meant I would get it on Thursday, I was pleased (and surprised.)
This evening we I got home from work there was the tire and it brought along a companion to keep it company for the cross-country trip. I guess the new guy in the shipping department saw that the packing slip said one and figured that meant one bundle of two tires.
Had they not got my tire to me on time I might have kept the second tire as payment for aggravation, but seeing as they did right, I did right. I called their 800 number and asked them if they wanted their tire back. They did and will get a FedEx guy to come pick it up.
