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:)
