My 123 Ignition - lost in the mail

[Chris Ryan]

Maybe a ridiculous question, but why didn't you just order it from the US distributor and save yourself some headaches? When I looked at the conversion rate, it was $40 difference, which is something, but not that much in the scheme of things (I'll just sit out two night of beers with friends). I ordered mine on Jan. 17th and it arrived on 4 days later.

 

Now I'm just having trouble installing it which is completely user error, messed up on finding TDC.

I dunno - because I like pain?

 

Anyway.  Believe it or not, the one that was shipped on November 23 showed up today.   Box is heavily damaged (and waterlogged).  Dizzy looks intact, but can't tell if there is water damage inside the plastic carton.

 

2nd one is still enroute.

 

I've let 123 know that the first one arrived, and that the box was in bad shape.  I've offered to pay for the second one that is on the way.

 

We'll see.

Sorry to hear the logistics issues.  Bet your car will run much better and make you forget the shipping woes.

Ha.  It's really no issue.  This is all for the future head swap, which I am currently too lazy to do.  So - it's not setting me back.  Car is running fine on the optical trigger ignition that I installed years ago.

Heard back from 123 today.  We've agreed that if the second one shows up, they'll just invoice me.  That seems like a fair deal to me.
