Unbelievably fast service from Tirerack.... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Yesterday (wednesday) afternoon I noticed I had a bent steel rim on my 9-5 from a seasonal pot hole. I had purchased this set of 4 rims from Tirerack 6+ years ago just for use with dedicated winter tires.
I checked Tirerack's website and saw the wheel I require was $38, so I ordered one. I specified one day delivery since it only cost 14 cents more than 3-day delivery, and I expected the wheel would be shipped on Thursday, arrive on Friday, and I could have the tire re-mounted on Saturday. Time was ~5:20pm.
I hadn't even closed out of their web site before the phone rang. Rudy from Tirerack was calling to be certain I knew I had ordered only one wheel, that I knew it might not match other wheels on my car, and if my wheel covers would fit if I used any. I assured him I was replacing one of their earlier wheels, I did use wheel covers, and that my factory Saab wheel covers fit perfectly on their wheels.
I received both an order confirmation and a separate shipping notification via e-mail before 6:00pm.
I checked for shipment tracking earlier this morning and discovered that as of 4:40am today (less than 12 hours after clicking the "Order" button) my wheel was sitting in a delivery truck, in my hometown, waiting for the driver to arrive to start his route.
WOW!
