Mysterious Packages!

[autoace]

I keep getting tools in the mail, I don't remember ordering??? Seems they are all "back ordered stuff" from orders I placed up to 4 months ago? Companies never used to do this, must be a sign of the economy and lower sales. In the past they never sent them out soo far after the initial order, they just omitted the out of stock item, period. In some cases I had bought another brand, so now I have seconds. Wish they would have emailed me, to see if I still wanted it. Today was the third mystery box, I have received this month.

You cant make a thread talking about random tools showing up with out telling us what they are.

The first box was a Snap-on, long shank, spinner handle, classic black hard handle type, with the 1/4 in. dr. on the end. Backordered since Sept. '08

The second was 2 Hazet flexible nut drivers, backordered since Oct. '08

The third was some HF stuff for my road box, don't remember when ordered

Anyway, these vendors never catered to backorder voids, in the past. they must need some $$$$$$$$$$$$$

I'll post some overdue pics, this site is a pain for me to post pics; because I have to reformat everything before GJ will take them. I'm picture lazy too, don't know why.

You didn't think it was funny? Someone has to give some humor besides Merkava.

I still have the top of the gas can, and the pics I took, It is a hassle to put pics on this site for some reason(for me). It doesn't like the format???

Anyway I will post your pics(I'll get my "computer genius" wife to help me see WTF the problem is)

PB Swiss is great stuff

Thanks, I did that, but there is some problem? I have posted pictures here before, no problem! This computer is new, and I'm finding some things are not working right yet. It's just a temporary problem.

No sweat. The thread title just reminded me...

Glad I could feed your addiction with something new

No, but I am going to. I was using some software my wife installed. I might have earned my nickname autoace, but when it comes to PC useage, I would be PC idiot. Anyhow this forum is the first real online participation I have had, besides ordering tools etc...I am a real garage guy, I'm always working on something. I can only sit at a PC for short time spans. I would much rather be in the garage, but I found other tool nuts here so.....

Not me ... I've stayed on GJ for as long as 12 hours at a time ... they've had to bring in another server just to handle the load I'm dish'n out.
