Sue Fedex for the cost or at least approach them with some sort of an arrangement.You should not have to bear the cost of their mistake. Right now you are a load of bad advertisement for them and they should see that.I know I just thought twice about ever using them now.If you don't get satisfaction then tell them we will spread the word and see if we can bring their business down somewhat. ----- Original Message ----

Pietenpol-List: name tags at Brodhead
Original Posted By: HelsperSew(at)aol.com
Hey everyone,Let's all try to remember to wear our name tags during Brodhead. I'd reallylike to meet as many of you as possible, and nametags will greatly faciliatethat. I'll try to remember mine each day.Big discouragement. Had finished building a beautiful set of drum brakehubs, the kind where the drum will be hidden within the wire wheel. Sentthe rims and hubs out to Buchannans for lacing. Called last week to see ifthey were almost done to find out they never got the hubs. Turns out fedexdelivered them to the wrong business who chucked them out. OUCH!!!What is encouraging is the way we've got the Model A running. Very strongand steady. I'm trying to put on the 20 run-in hours Ken Perkins recommendson the test stand, then we're ready to install. I've got one of Ken'smodified B carbs I'm not using if anyone is interested.Back to the machine shop!!Douwe________________________________________________________________________________

Douwe,Last year, the Brodhead Pietenpol Association Newsletter had a booth set upwhere everyone could get a nametag (and renew their membership, if needed).I believe they are planning to do the same this year. Nametags really helpidentifying those who know each other via this list, but have not metface-to-face.As for your hubs getting mis-delivered, and subsequently discarded - that isreally disheartening.Really inexcusable for Fedex and also for the company that actually receivedthe package. Surely they could have read the label and called either Fedexor Buchanan's before they threw out your hubs.Bill C. ________________________________________________________________________________
