I will ad one more thing to this.My uncle Thodore worked for Ford for 26 years until his job was eliminated in the Ford blood letting in around 2006 and 7 if I remember correctly. This man bled blue like we all do. As a family we were incensed and comments of I will never buy another Ford were said by a few of us including me . My uncle angrily said to knock that kind of talk off . He said Ford Mtr co has been good to this family and provided for the lifestyle in which they lived. He went the next day and bought my aunt a fusion to show his commitment to Ford. It's something I have never forgotten and never will. If my uncle was still alive and here he would post to keep buying from SA. It's not one person that makes a company. It's a team effort. One of the team is gone. Time to move on

You are right! I know that If my family were to win the lotto, my wife would go shop at Bed Bath and Beyond. I would head straight to Vegas and go shop at SAI!

Maybe he can get some movement on the GT350 shift ball I ordered 4 months ago that is still on backorder…..

Or the gauge pod and gauges I have been trying to get since before the Bash.

Plus 1 on the gauge pod. I really wish the system wouldn't allow you to place an item in your cart if it wasn't available.

That's not hard to do.........I work in a ware house where I fill orders and Deliver some. We input how much we receive of each item and we have a built in system that tells us when it is time to re-order each item so we don't run out. If by chance we DO run out, the Shopping Cart will disappear from the on line Stock Inventory Order sheet.

So what do you think your chance are of getting a response from anyone at SA?

My experience began before the change, so I am hopeful their inventory management and response will improve

Wow Mike have you ever called in about this? My system doesn't notate you have spoken with anyone on it. I apologize for the delay! I was able to track one of these down and have our shipping manager send it today. You will have it tomorrow!
