I shall never forgive FCP Euro for shipping me a defective rebuilt Bosch
starter and not reimbursing me the labor for installing it. Instead, they
refused to be accountable and pawned me off on Bosch, which gave me a total
run-around. Some years ago when Rusty sent me a defective AC compressor,

Strangely compelling "golden brown" 240D with the highly coveted crank
windows (please don't salivate). True mileage unknown but at least 257,000.
Currently at $3700. How high will it go? I predict $6200.

Exactly.
I can’t watch (SNL) Celebrity Jeopardy or I end up blowing an hour or more of
my time. Between Turd Fergusen and Sean Connery it’s a killer.

For sure none of them are perfect, and we all know of screw ups from each of
them, I’m sure. I suspect a part of the shipping promptness for me involves
distance, so if something from AZ is coming and they drag their feet getting it

I've had mixed experiences... many times I order from FCP and they don't
ship for another day or so. I also have orders they ship from other
warehouses other than their own, which probably adds to the delay. Other
times I get stuff over night (as ground shipping CT -> NJ is 1 day), even

I can assure you that neither FedEx, USPS nor UPS “hold” shipments. They’re not
in the business of inventorying or warehousing (the shipping parts of their
business, that is. They do have divisions that offer logistical services, but
they’re separate from the shipping businesses.) What often hap
