I just have to chime in and ask the question.

Number 1 Lawrence how exactly did your car being towed by the city become my problem when your first post looking for drums was back on October 26th. it was a full month and a half until you made the purchase.

I didn't get a letter from the city until two weeks ago. I had several leads or drums but unfortunately, I chose Tuscon Packard as a supplier.

Number 2. I dont ship garbage parts. Ask Packard Don he begs me to send him parts dirty and greasy to save time, I just wont to it. My Dad didnt do it for 40 years, and im not going to start now.

I'm not about to tell you how to clean or not clean your parts. The issue is the time frame. If it was going to take you three weeks to clean them, then say so.



Number 3 I should have said no to your request to sell you the used bearings that came off the car the drums did. I guess i should have pulled them off the car and sent them. I can only imagine the wonderful things you would have said about me when you opened the box to find 75 year old bearings that have been sitting for 50 years. So i soaked them for a few days in solvent got them freed up, greased them, and sent them.you probably could have got them a few days earlier if you didnt want to save 40 bucks. Maybe you shouldnt have made your property look like a junk yard, with your car on blocks in front of your house. next time if you want junk call a junk yard. For anyone else who wants quality parts at a fair price, Im NOT Amazon Packard but i always guarantee you will be happy with your parts. Thank you for listening

My property does not look like a junk yard, it fact it is a sculpture garden, open to the public, with the exception of one automobile that has no wheels on it because I'm still waiting for parts.


This morning I got an update from UPS telling me they have not yet received the package from you. I think it's clear why you ignored my requests for a tracking number these past few weeks. There was no tracking number because you hadn't shipped the package yet. (see attached frame grab)


I'm having a rollback tow truck come this afternoon to move the vehicle to a friend's place as have no idea when the parts will show up if at all.

I'm too angry and frustrated to tell you what I really think about this whole situation.
