Ryan,

The Tire Rack is very sorry that your order has been delayed.

As others have suggested, credit card fraud has become a big issue for
mail-order businesses, and a company such as ours seems to attract more
than its fair share of such fraud. This means that The Tire Rack is
perhaps more careful than some companies in its verification process.
Sometimes this does lead to delays in order processing, and for this we
apologize. The verification process protects both The Tire Rack, and our
customers from fraud.

I think you'll find that now that you have an order history with us,
your verifications should go more quickly in the future.

Once again, we apologize for the delay. I have checked up on your order
and have been assured that it will ship today, barring any other
unforeseen circumstances.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

(Oh, I wasn't out autocrossing this weekend, although I wish I had been.
:-( I was doing yard work. Ah, the joys of home ownership.)

Regards,

William Loring
