Uncle Abe? Who says I have any nickles to keep in my pocket? They all go in a jar buried in the back yard.

See what you started, old curmudgeon? You should get a commission from HF. My lift should be here middle of next week. Hope I don't have to sign for it.

Or from Idaho

blowndodge · 01-06-2012, 09:34 AM

Or get a slight discount on the adapter???

Just got my lift. Make sure you check to be sure all the parts are there. Mine is missing a nylok nut and a bushing. I called the "help line" and spoke with someone who sort of spoke English. She said the nut was backordered and it would take 6-8 weeks before it got here. I told her it was a freaking nut. I'll make a trip to the hardware store Saturday, I guess. The bushing is something else. Not sure I can get that at the hardware store. She said she had that in stock and could ship that soon. "Would next week be ok?" Seriously? If I wanted to use the lift next week, I would have ordered it next week.

I told her it wasn't my fault the bushing was missing and she could have it here by the end of this week. She gave me a couple confirmation numbers. I couldn't understand her well enough to figure out what those were for. We'll see. This is my last 3 day weekend for a couple months. I could sure use the lift starting Saturday morning. It'll beat sitting on the cold garage floor.

Just a heads up to double check your parts (the lift comes semi assembled) as soon as you get it.

**ringadingh** · 01-10-2012, 01:48 PM

You could probably make up a bushing if you really had to if you needed to use the lift right away. Most likely its just a short peice if steel tube.

blowndodge · 01-10-2012, 01:57 PM

Just great Chris...Mine hasn't come and it better not be missing parts!

old curmudgeon · 01-10-2012, 02:19 PM

Thanks for the heads up Chris.

If you call a help line and get some person in India or where ever that you can not understand, you can say you want to talk to someone who's English you can understand. They have to transfer you to an English speaking person.
Believe it or not I have done this. I know it is hard to believe seeing as I am such and easy going guy but you have to draw the line somewhere.

**ringadingh** · 01-10-2012, 02:59 PM

Ive tried that too and it didn't work. Try calling Magellan gps and you get someone in the Philipines, when you ask to speak to someone in California they tell you its not possible. You can't even find a phone number on the internet that works for them in the states.
