The wife is PO'd!

[Haywire Haywood]

She ordered my Christmas presents from Bailey's and guess what... they shipped them to the billing address (home) instead of to her work address. When I walked back in from the Fedex truck last night with what was obviously a 24" bar for the 361 and another box that most likely held the chain for it and a couple of other goodies, she was beside herself. She emailed Bailey's and called them a bunch of "dorks".

Thats just to funny.

I feel for her.. she tried so hard.. Now she will hopefully feel like she will have to get you something else, you know to unwrap Christmas morning.

I've had that happen to me a couple of times. I ordered a cant hook from LogRite telling them to send NOTHING to my house, not even a receipt. They sent the cant hook to my house. I wasn't miffed at them, Kevin is too nice of a guy for that, but I did give him some grief.

Also, when I ordered my Alaskan. They shipped the Alaskan to the office like I asked, but sent a shipment notification to my house.

Otherwise, been okay.

:bang: How hard is it to get this stuff right?

Something simple screwed up again. Pure incompetence.:help:

Sounds like it is a concern frequently enough that they should have a special box to check at check-out, the "my wife can't know" box...

I know I'd use it.

Well, Santa dropped off my Christmas 372xpg a month early, and noone is sorry for that.....

....we just have to wrap in in some fancy paper, and put it under the tree on christmas eve......:rockn: :rockn:

With all of the credit card fraud, Christmas shopping rush, automated billing and shipping, the human element, it is a wonder that orders get processed correctly. A lot of businesses will only ship to the billing address to help prevent fraud. Haywire, did Bailey's ship the exact stuff your wife ordered?

 

[SawTroll]

Why the long bar - you aren't on the West coast, I believe?????

Congrats with the 361, it is a really good saw....:rockn: :rockn:

:greenchainsaw:

Maybe Ian has some "West Coast" dogs and needs the bar length. We do, believe it or not, have some nice sized hardwoods in the Mid West. Not as many as we would like but we have some.

I suspect that the 361 is a bit small for a 25" bar in large hardwood, but what do I know.........(haven't tried it).......:greenchainsaw:

Just a circle, with a folded over page.....With a wish list of other pieces parts to boot...

Didn't Ian have Dave Neiger mod that saw for him recently?opcorn:

 

[Hired Gun]

I have been having all my girlfriends christmas gifts shipped to my parents house thinking I could avoid a similar situation. We went down to their house last Thursday night for dinner. While we were at the table the UPS man showed up with a box clearly marked on the outside from a turbo company. All of this in plain view of the dinner table. This after I just got done talking to her on the ride down about what kind of performance she would like to get out of her truck..... It's the thought right....:bang:

Right, I didn't read the tread carefully enough......:blush:

The 24" bar is for occasional use only, kinda like the 20" bar I have for my 346. The chain I had on my wish list was full skip semi-chisel, so that should help keep chain speed up. I hate having to reach over to cut the back side of a round when bucking the occasional big one and I'm an amature at felling, so if my bar doesn't have enough reach for a single pass at the stump I'm pretty much flailing around going from one side to the other getting the back cut done. I've read about a "sweeping" technique for making back cuts with short bars but am chicken to try it as I'm afraid I'll cut the hinge clean thru. I wouldn't want to be JB Welding my case (or my head or leg) back together like someone we know
