Weeelllll,
Spoke to Haulbikes yesterday. Nancy the rep. explained that the driver had been hospitalized, and that a new driver was coming to pick up his load. She went on to say that the bike should arrive by next Wednesday 5th (Cinquo de Mayo!). She apologized and said that I would receive some sort of discount, but that I would have to receive delivery first. Then I'd have to call Sharon and work it out. So, let's figure this out....I bought the bike on March 16 and rode it to the HD dealer in San Antonio that same day. i was told by HaulBikes they would pick it up on Sat Mar. 20th, but to get the bike there early b/c the drivers are often early. However, I think they actually picked it up on the 27th. From there they transported it back to their HQ in Milwaukee, WI, apparently picking up more bikes along the way. From Milwaukee, the bike has to be picked up by another driver who transports it with others in the load back east to me. However, at the time I was told that driver was delayed in leaving Milwaukee for "whatever reasons". Based on the fact that he is in the hospital now, I am assuming the delay was health related. So, if the bike arrives on the 4th of May that would be exactly 7 weeks since I dropped it off at the dealer. If it comes on May 5th, then that would be a nice round 50 DAYS! I wonder what the record number of days for delivery is for them? Maye they're trying to break it. (HA!) According to their policy, they give themselves 28 days from the pick-up date to deliver the bike. I wonder what kind of discount they'll offer. They charged me $498.00. Oh well, these things happen. I just hope the bike arrives in the shape I last saw it. They are courteous though. LOL
