The other day, three of my new Falkens landed. The fourth showed up over the weekend.

Yesterday, one Konig landed for the MR2 Turbo. The rest arrived today, but talk about that anticipation.

I can only imagine what it'd be like to be waiting on a brand-new pair of shoes that you've been excited about for a long time, and then only one of them shows up in the mail.

You should have seen me pacing like a rat on meth waiting for my retro Mongoose BMX bike to arrive back in December.

I bought a set of 18x9 and 18x10 Volk CV Pros out of Japan ten years or so ago and two 9's and one 10 showed up. That's a heart breaker when they only made 18" for a few years and I'd never seen another set. The second 10 showed up a MONTH after the original date.

Oh that sounds horrible. (Also, pics of the wheels?)

Why would you do this to me?

I have been notified of a delivery scheduled for tomorrow, and all four of them better be there...

Several weeks ago 3 Hankook ATs show up for one of the work trucks. The 4th never did show. I messaged them about the missing tire and asked for an eta. Rather than a response, Wal-Mart refunded the entire order. 

I'm going to give them a month to catch the error and then probably forget about it. Spending who knows how much time on the phone getting them to correct it would make me regret calling them.

Can't find pics of the 18" since they looked HUGE on the MZ5 but these are the 17" GRC that I imported while trying to find another 18x10

As they arrived ^
And as they ended up

sold the 18" ones to a guy for his sc430 drift car

There's unseen value in the 3 wheel motion.

If you recall, the same thing happened to me in the Kosei K1 thread for my MR2.  It was very weird and strange.  If it happens again, I'm not sure it will feel any less odd to me.

I designed a set of custom wheels for a fellow 308 owner and had them made in china.  a couple months later 4 left the factory I know because they send pictures,  but a month after that only 3 got to his door.  A month of arguing with various shipping companies then another 3m lead time and finally a set of 4.
