Pumpkin's hazard flasher was too weak. With Coors in tow, the rear lights were hardly visible. They flashed so fast the bulbs did not have time to light up. So, I went shopping for an electronic heavy duty flasher. Local parts stores did not carry any (that I found) that could handle more than 6 bulbs. With Coors in tow, I needed at least 8 bulb capacity. I found what I wanted on-line and ordered it.
First, after several days, I had not received notice of shipment. So, I emailed them and was told they were on back order. I waited several more days and finally received notice it were on it's way.
Second, it had a USPS tracking number. But, after a couple of days, when I checked the shipment progress, it showed it being repeatedly processed through the same facility in Pennsylvania. Over and over each day it was the same...Processed through blah, blah, blah. I contacted the postal service and they put a query on it. I got a call from our local postmistress letting me know they were looking for it.
Eventually, it came, nearly 5 weeks after I ordered it.
Yesterday I stuck it in Pumpkin and immediately blew a fuse. After all that crap, I had ordered the wrong part. Now not only do I need a new flasher, but I need a new fuse.
I did a little better research this time (I hope) and ordered another part. But, I ordered it from a different seller because it was several dollars cheaper (and maybe I was a little embarrassed after giving the first seller a hard time). Now if it just doesn't go on back order and doesn't get lost in the mail...
