What's wrong with this picture?
Good news is I finally received my new Doug's headers today. Bad news is that it's going to be a ***** getting the passenger side to fit!

Maybe they thought you had two 4 cylinders motors in your truck.

Re: What's wrong with this picture?
Why do people do that?
Did it not occur to them that you might need one LH and RH? Did the guy not notice "...ok - ahm a puttin' two left handers in this heah box..."? I ordered some little rubber hub caps for my garden tractor one time (qty 2). I opened the box to find one black one and one red one. Really? Did they not think that I might want either two black, or two red, but for them to match each other?

Re: What's wrong with this picture?
I admit I had to do a double check....too often I (all of us) are sent the wrong parts...frustrating!
Hope they resolve quickly. |

Re: What's wrong with this picture?
And somewhere there is some guy with two right hand headers he just pulled out of the box.

Re: What's wrong with this picture?
Just use 2 left side SBC cylinder heads and you will be fine.

Re: What's wrong with this picture?
the shop hires $10 help for shipping clerks; highschoolers, cc drop outs and wannabe techs
they mess up %20 of the time, seems like it would be easier to hire $20 help and get it done right though paying more doesn't insure a better job most employees don't care what they do

""seems like it would be easier to hire $20 help and get it done right

On the "matching headers" I'd attribute that to some guy or girl who just flat was not paying attention. That's the pair that were sitting there together so that is the pair that went in the box. Or boxed up in the last 15 minutes on Friday. One of left sides may have been hanging on the rack for right side headers too. At any rate someone was not paying attention to what they put in the box.

 Truth is, with retail, manufacturing, and warehousing, the goal is to hire people to move stuff and let computers and systems do all the thinking. If the same headers were on two different racks, if somehow both parts got different ID stickers, Or maybe there was a push to get boxes out even if parts weren't available. What's unfair to me is the math that makes it cheaper to ship 20% of parts from overseas, find out they're wrong/damaged/unusable, then toss them out. That means we pay for 20% of what's manufactured to be thrown out. Last edited by 1project2many; 01-17-2015 at 08:48 PM. |
