Finally Arrived!

I ordered 6 T10's from AP back in the middle of July. They said 8-10 weeks, and when I still hadn't heard from them after 12 weeks I e-mailed them. They said they were backed up due to a bad material issue, which caused the delay. Then a couple weeks later I started receiving shipping info updates from Estes. I went with freight because it was a couple hundred less than FedEx.
Last week I got a telephone call from Estes saying that they'd be coming this way on Tuesday.
Tuesday morning I got a call from the truck driver, seems that there were 2 500 lb pallets of laminate flooring that were the wrong color sitting in front of my pallet on the truck, and he wanted to know if I had a forklift. (Doesn't everyone have one in their garage? lol) No forklift, so he said maybe he could drive back to Winchester VA (where he had driven out from) and they could send a van out to me.
Then he called back a bit later, saying he could probably break down my pallet load to deliver it, but he couldn't find my home address on his GPS. I asked if he needed directions, and he replied that he wasn't good with directions, but might be able to use the GPS on his cell phone when he got into Cumberland and picked up service again.
I was mildly surprised when the tractor trailer backed up into my driveway (at least he's a competent driver if not a particularly good navigator...) and after I rounded up a pair of scissors to cut the straps on the pallet we unloaded the 9 pieces of the shipment.
