Default LOL.. I ordered my DS2s on a monday, they shipped from Reno 3 days. Got them Wednesday.

Amazing. There's a reason I've been getting tires from Tire Rack for the last 15 years...

Default Everyone's buying winter tires, so they're backed up.

Normally Gary shows up at my doorstep 5 minutes after I press the "place an order" button.

Default Exactly. The wait can sometimes extend to days rather than hours at peak seaon.

Except the part about me showing up on the doorstep

Yes.

The phones have been so busy lately that they are significantly taking away from my forum posting.

Default Gary - Why didn't you hand deliver my snow tire to colorado back in October..

I feel left out and since it was slower in October than now you should have had the time??? Plus it took 3 days. WoW.. Thats the last time i order from Tirerack.

I better go to discount tire and spend more $$ and get uneducated ****ty service.. :-)

Thanks Gary. And happy thanksgiving. I'll be ordering another set of wheels/tires come April.
