So here's the story, back around 2004 or 2005 I was at the end of my lucrative manual labor career and was getting ready to make a change. I had purchased this 71 ford Thunderbird Hardtop a few years previous and, after a few years of being unable to work on it, it had degraded till the point it wasn't fit to be used in my new career. so it was parked. Now, after a few years, I am able to pull it back outta the tree line and attempt to resurrect it. This blog will follow along with the progress from rust bucket hoopty to a (once again) nice ride.

Stuff came



I mailed off an order to T-Bird Sanctuary at the very begining of January. I waited until mid January before contacting them about it.

Hello Bob,

I sent an order to you at the beginning of this month, I would have thought that I would have seen some bank activity with the check I mailed by this time.. I have not.. My name is T-Bird_Guy and the order would have been for three shift linkage bushings and a manual set all for the 71 Thunderbird.

Can you tell me if indeed the order has been received yet or not, perhaps I need to stop payment on that check and make other arrangements.

Thank you.
I got back
Sorry. We did not receive the order you described. Bob
I decided I would wait until that following weekend had elapsed before placing a stop payment order with my bank and resending the order with a new check.

HEY!

I see that check number 1419 got through. You have no idea how happy that makes me. I see that there is a period of time for the check to clear, it will, but I'll be patient. Looking forward to getting my order.

Thanks again.

Yes, we did receive your order. If fact we got both of them. On Wednesday, the 23rd, we received your order and assumed that IT was the replacement, so the check went in the bank. Then on the next day, the 24th, we received a duplicate order which you had marked as the replacement. Since I know you put a stop payment on the original check, I know your bank will send it back marked stopped payment, so I deposited the replacement check and will send out your order shortly. The post office really messed us up on this one. Bob
I got the package the middle of last week..(the 6th of Feb or so).. Why it took SOOO long for the first one to make it through I have no idea. What about it USPS?
