Steve M Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 That's a stinking shame. I'm sure this will get straightened out quick. 1
Aussie Ora Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 How did they miss the grill that totally sucks mate to be let down like that Outback Kamado Bar and Grill♨
KevinD Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Posted July 9, 2016 All I can say is that Dennis' cargo/warehouse company sent me the bill of lading after the issue popped up and it clearly showed the end shipper as having picked up and signed for everything. What they did between picking up and taking it to their terminal for final distribution is beyond me. As of close of business Friday afternoon on the West Coast, the grill still had not been located. They told me to call back Monday and get a status. Nothing I can do and while I am less than happy there is no point in brooding about it... So instead of playing with my new toy over the weekend, I will play with some old toys. Drive the convertible down to the beach and go sailing with some friends enjoying the wind on the water... 1
ckreef Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 Really sorry to hear that. That is the first time I've heard of that happening. You did the right thing refusing the shipment since the driver was not willing to mark the papers. . Sounds like you're going to make the best of the weekend anyway. Love your ride. I keep working on Mrs skreef for a vette - maybe one day she'll give in to the idea - LOL . BTW great Charlie Brown reference. . Reef's Bistro
MacKenzie Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 I, too, am sorry your KK wasn't on that truck. Great attitude, Kevin. One thing for sure is when your KK does arrive you are going to have some serious choices to make as to which toy will be the Toy of the Day. 1
Steve M Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 Gotta say your backup plan wasn't too shabby. 1

Looks like a good wind day based on the reefed main and the heeling angle, would have been fun to be out there! 1
CeramicChef Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 Go have fun and be certain to stay well hydrated! Monday will be here soon enough.

bosco Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 Whenever you feel like it's unfair check the forum member section for my shipping post. I went through every delay that you could imagine but it still got here. Yours wont seem so bad after that lol 3
MacKenzie Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 Yes, do check Bosco's delivery. We tormented and teased him for month and months about his impending delivery.

xraydoc Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 @kevinD - That really sucks. It looks like you have some other great toys to play with though. I hope you get it all straightened out, and soon! Keep us posted, please. I want to make sure I know what to do if there are any issues with my delivery.
MacKenzie Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Hey Kevin, tomorrow is Mon. hopefully the missing KK will be found and delivered.
bosco Posted July 11, 2016 Report Posted July 11, 2016 Today I read my shipping posts. Wow it was a crazy story 1
CeramicChef Posted July 11, 2016 Report Posted July 11, 2016 +1^ Crazy doesn't even come close to the word that you would use to describe your "Journey" into KK Country! And you're better for the journey, right @bosco!?
bosco Posted July 11, 2016 Report Posted July 11, 2016 Always something to learn from your experiences
