Default Krank Vents Taking A Long Time

I don't know if this needs to go in off topic or not, but it does relate to S2k's...anyhow this is my vent thread.

28 June I ordered my krank vents from automotive speed, the confirmation email said they would be delievered by 6 July. I figured, hey, thats 6 business days, seems about right considering it's comming from CA. Then today, 7 July, I receive an e-mail stating that USPS has received word from automotive speed that the package will be arriving AT USPS sometime today for DELIVERY. Meaning since its just normal ground mail, I won't be getting this package til this upcomming friday, the 13th. 28 June - 12 July....all that time just for some krankvents??? Come on. It would be acceptable if this was a turbo or manifold of some kind or other part warranting assembly, but these are massed produced in stock items, that are also very small and not bulky in the least. Is it that difficult to send a small, 1 item order out in a timely manner? 17 bucks for shipping on top of that . This is my first dealing with Automotive Speed, but so far, I'd have to go with a


Flame away guys, like I said, this is just my vent thread.

Big deal! I waited almost two months to receive an AUT cooling plate that was in stock and here in California, about 90 miles from me! The plate is made of Carbon Fiber and the whol package couldn't have weighed 5 pounds!

90 miles and almost 60 days...you're a lazy ass go ****ing drive there and pick it up.

Also, this isn't about how much time it's taking as much as it is about how automotive speed sent me my confirmation e-mail saying it was scheduled to arrive 6 june and how I view that as pretty unprofessional. Is it a big deal? not in the sligthest. Is it sloppy and a nuisiance? indeed. Also 17 bucks for shipping on an item as small and lightweight as krank vents? Ridiculous.

I guess I am cheap . I didn't order the Krank Vents to try just because I couldn't justify the $17 shipping on such a small item. Maybe if they jack up the price and offer free shipping I'd bite. Oops, done just gave out my weakness
