Subject: IML: Delivery nightmares
Hi guys.
If you remember, a couple of months ago I wrote
to the list asking for help to buy my husband an Imperial for his
birthday. Well, I did end up finding one, but now need help in getting
it delivered.
The car is in Staunton, IL and we are in Park
Rapids, MN. It is not a real far distance, but we are just unable to
travel to get it. When I purchased the car, (from a dealer) he said that
delivery would be included, and that we had to pay the driver 500 bucks when
he dropped the car off. Well, little did I know that we would be dealing
with a broker, who promised us our car for weeks before I decided to go
elsewhere. Luckily I hadn't paid her any money yet.
Then, I was directed to a place called BP auto
moving, who required a deposit, but assured me my car would be arriving within
5-7 days. It has now been 13 days, and am not able to get a hold of the
guy. I finally talked to him today, and he said he would give me a
refund, and was just not able to find anyone going in this direction.
I finally had to let my husband in on the
surprise, but he also has no clue on what we should do next. I paid
for this car in the beginning of April, and it is now June, and still sitting
in the lot. Eric is getting extremely frustrated, as am I at the way
that this transporting situation seems to be going. If it is frustrating
to me, I can only imagine what it must be like to someone who has been
waiting for this for 25 years!
So please, if anyone has any suggestions on what
to do about this, and how to get our car home, I would appreciate
it!
Thanks alot, again.

PS. I haven't described the car, as Eric is
very excited to write about it to the club once he gets it
home:)
