My advice is this- if you need your parts sooner, then do what you have to do. Don't log in and rant- just do what you have to do. Continuing to complain, bitch and whine only makes you look childish.
No doubt that Brian is well aware of all this drama, on top of the logistics nightmare he's dealing with.
Do you really bud? I know it's easy to say & I do appreciate your posts but until you do it no one really knows.

decide to get rid of 30 you can't take with you. You already crushed 45 2 months prior knowing you would be moving.
96K sqft facilty packed full of over 300 cars you parted plus new parts.Then decide no I'm leaving this behind.
Have 30 headliners show up the day before you move out.Among tons of parts that kept arriving all week that shouldn't have.

this was just the tip of the iceberg & some hi lights.
Most people couldn't pack a home up & move it in 12 days.
One person that has really been there for me is Shane Grimsley.
He made sure our transports were loaded & un loaded. Called people for us & helped us with people in the area. Shane I know I told you before but Thanks again bud.
There are no excuses here but just wanted to give you an idea of some of the things we went thru.Nothing was intentional I would have loved to have been running again in 10 days.
Our business will be more streamline then ever. Think we shipped fast before?
first 30 days will be tough.We hired 2 more guys Monday. Gotta get Suzy Q up here next HINT!
My apologies to all we have caused delays but they were not intentional. We have always tried to be there for the customers wether we gave you parts for free or had a $5k order.we will be shipping alot out tomorrow.Everyone should of had e-mails returned if not let me know I will return it.
