The Official Status Update Thread #226 Tis the Season

It's crazy. Almost $500 for front brakes and calipers on a 2007 Impala.

Ordered the exact same stuff and also added the back pads and rotors for $330. And that includes almost $40 in shipping.

I really like to try to support local stores, but this is getting ridiculous.

Likewise, I try, I mean I really try to support local businesses especially if they try to offer some knowledge and expertise, but it is hard. But, in the end, they screw themselves. No sympathy from me.

Prices everywhere on everything are bonkers. Just today I checked prices on some .22 Aguila Super Extra ammo. Honey Creek Tackle in Bargersville - $5.99/50 rnd box. Outdoorsman in Greenwood - $4.99, Shoot Point Blank Greenwood - $9.99. Stores within 10 miles of each other. It's beginning continuing to look a lot like Crazy out there.

$3.99+tax+shipping - worked out to $5.52/box shipped for 10 boxes.

Yeah it's absurd. Even after I add in my labor it will still be cheaper than just buying the parts by themselves from town, and the customer will get rears done.

Following a UPS shipment on a live GPS map. They were literally 2 blocks from my house. Now they're over 10 miles away. Idiots.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Well, apparently the GPS was wrong. Package was just delivered while the truck was still showing as 10 miles away.

Have you looked out front?

I had a USPS this week that showed it shipped from Ohio and it was taken to illinois...

Evening

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Have you looked out front?

Yep, it was delivered and I got the notification as soon as it was, but the "live" tracking map that shows the truck's location still showed it out almost to Plainfield.
