    Wingstuff 7 days for shipping 25 miles away? LOL

    Won't be ordering tires from them next time - that's for sure. Ordered a set of in-stock tires early a.m. on the 25th - "they're going out today. Should have them by tomorrow or Thursday latest." I was informed. Called Wingstuff this a.m., "You should have them today" (he says that while I'm looking at the UPS tracking page, "scheduled to me delivered" next Monday). When I inform him what the UPS website is informing me, he says, let me take a look.

    Done with these guys. Wasn't a big customer of theirs before but I'm no longer any type of customer of theirs moving forward. Occasionally, purchasing directly from the dealer is worth it. This would have been one of those occasions.

    Understand your pain, but with this Chinese virus fear frenzy going on shipping has been delayed in all businesses and areas. That being said, I am also not a fan of Wingstuff as I have found their prices to be generally higher than most. I will often look through their extensive online catalog to see what I like and then buy it elsewhere at a lower price.

    Thanks for your input. Believe 'still sitting in warehouse' on the 4th day after purchase reflects a 'not in-stock' issue, then a shipping issue. Would have drove to the warehouse for pick up, lol. If still not shipped by Monday, cancelling order.

    I ordered a pair of tires from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC yesterday. The FedEx website says they will arrive tomorrow. These guys are great. They charge about $30 less for a set of Bridgestones, and they also sell OEM parts.

    You're lucky. I have never once, in the 5 years I have been doing business with them, ever had them even SHIP an order within 7 days...and I have spent a LOT of money with them. They advertise fast shipping....but I have yet to see it. Fastest they ever did was ship 9 days after placing the order....then it took ten days for the actual shipping.

    I'm going to assume that "them" in your post is Rocky Mountain ATV/MC and not Wingstuff.

    I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. I suspect those tires were not actually 25 miles away. More and more vendors these days are drop shipping from the manufacturer or other companies' warehouses (even if they show them "in stock"). If I recall correctly the last time I ordered tires for my F6b, the best deal I found was with denniskirk.com, and they showed up with the Drag Specialties sticker still on them.
