Ed,
If you never intended to sell me the shims... why did you reply back saying
that you "STOCKED" them? Doesn't make much sense to me. If you want me as a
customer you have an odd way of showing it, and not only to me but the rest
of the list. Frankly I don't care who I offer my business to as long as they
are fare about it and I get quality parts. If these 2 bit shims are not
worth your time then "EXCUSE...... ME!" And besides you wouldn't have been
"bailing me out", you would have only made things a little simpler. Do you
think you are the only shim supplier in town? I'll punch my own if need be.
I thought I was doing you a favor by mentioning to the rest of the list that
you had offered to help me out and provide me with the product I need, but I
guess I was wrong.
I think I'm missing something here... I thought this list was meant for
people with a common interest so they can help each other out.
No thanks ED!
Man today is just NOT my day.

need
to go back this week and pick up the rest of my 7/16 wheel studs. Meanwhile
Ed at "Just Brits" replied back to me to let me know that he carried the
shims also, since he's a fellow Lister... I'll give him first chance. >>
Drew:
Since you have seen fit to "publish" the "repy", leave us "publish"
CORRECTLY, please.
I replied to your query and I quote:
"I stock them for customers, Drew."
KEY word being "customers". With EVERY front end "rebuild 'kit'" I send 10
shims of thin sizes and 4 of FAT ones. I do not send bill. The customer
gets the job done and THEN I send Invoice.
You bought all you parts else where and want me to bail you out?? NOT!!
All shims are available thru about 4 catalogs and you just have to BUY a
large enough selection inorder to complete the job. Then you may TRY to
"return" the "used" but not "used" ones for credit.
I have GREAT customers including a BUNCH in CA.. They are, without doubt,
a
FANTASTIC bunch (especially The Witch). I WILL NOT depleat my normal stock
of items needed for this sorta job to a non-customer.
My "stock" and my "knowledge" do, in fact, cost.
Cheers..............
Ed
