Since you have brought this to NATIONAL attention.. I'll add a few
comments..
First.. You "are" a whiner.
Second.. I told you that I had a friend driving here this week.. To get the
tires to him..and he would drop them off here..and I would send you a
refund --no problem.
Nice of you to leave this out..and twist it a bit....
Third...
Again...for the last time.. Bill is headed here on Wednesday...your last and
final chance... Get the tires to him as instructed and I will refund the
"cost" of the tires.... NOT the monies your "friend" ripped you off to haul
them... That was your mistake -- not mine..
IF you had listened to me in the beginning...and had someone drop the tires
off in CA for Bill...there would not have been any problem at all getting
them back to me...none.. been there many times.. Always works when you "ask"
for help... You should have listened to me instead of whining....:-)
Now - you have made a total mess of the situation..and the tires are NOT at
Bill's place..?? Whose fault is it..?? Mine?? I think not... Sorry.. But---I
need the tires here..and I will refund you... Pretty simple if you ask me..
