The little guys keep delivering while the big guys struggle

#1

I ordered a second set of tunnel risers from Riptide sports a couple days ago. They were delivered yesterday with a hand written note thanking me for buying a second set. Meanwhile I have been waiting for weeks for some conformal coating I ordered. @RipTideSports > Jeff Bezos. Esk8 community > big tech.

Things are a messed up everywhere.
With most people staying home, just about everyone is waiting on deliveries…

In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

I feel your pain @bourbon_norm lol

The good news is I live in SoCal. Conformal coating is a nicety. We don’t go outside in the rain, let alone ride an esk8. I’ll add the conformal coating later.

Dude I feel your pain. I took this whole quarantine thing as an opportunity to get my board up and running so it’s been a mad waiting game. Made the mistake of ordering things from over seas. Been torturing myself by checking delivery details multiple times a day…

Same here last time I got a few bushings. Someone really care for business and costumer satisfaction over there at @RipTideSports :ok_hand::grinning:.

Tell her we appreciate the personal touch and the quick deliveries. I will complete my build today thanks to your quick delivery. If only I worked as fast. Today is the one year anniversary since the first post in my build thread.
