I ordered several parts for wife's BMW: Water Pump, idler pulls, belts, thermostat and thermostat assembly housing, upper and lower radiator hoses. Everything came very quickly - except the radiator hoses. They were scheduled to be delivered yesterday, but late in the day I got a text that delivery has been delayed. No new delivery date, but tracking so far:

13 Aug 8:47PM - Bethpage, NY - Arrived Fed Ex
14 Aug 4:50AM - Edison, NJ - Arrived FedEx
17 Aug 12:06PM - Edison, NJ - Departed FedEx 12:06PM (sat in NJ for 3 days)
18 Aug 12:09 AM - Oliver TWP, PA - In Transit
18 Aug 12:10PM - Salem, OH - In Transit
18 Aug 11:17PM - Gary, IN - In Transit
19 Aug 11:17AM - Chicago, IL - In Transit
19 Aug 11:23PM - Galesburg, IL - In Transit
20 Aug 12:10PM - Lincoln, NE - In Transit

Talk about zig-zagging! No idea if I'll get them today, but not holding my breath.
 
Well, they're getting closer! At least that's a little accomplishment! :devilgrin:
 
Puzzles me how it got from Oliver TWP, in PA to Salem, Ohio in a minute.

Did you order the uprated water pump? In my engine, stock is a plastic impeller. You can get 'em made from metal.
 
On my to do list for the summer was replacing the top on my Cadillac. Everything arrived in a timely fashion except for the tack strip. It finally showed up two weeks ago, just in time for me to go back to work. I'm going to try to get it replaced soon once things calm down at work a bit.
 
You're still a long way from that 38 days it took my wiper switch to move from Chicago to OKC.

This morning it says "Henderson, Colorado" and expected delivery is Sunday, 22 August by end of day. So much for my plan to get her car running this weekend.
 
Just notified it has left the FedEx facility in Henderson, Colorado:
