Florida, Jacksonville - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - Rivers RV Service


I was too disappointed to write yesterday.  The part didn’t show up in Jacksonville as promised.  We could see that it made it to Atlanta, but that is where it stopped.  Once again Greg spent most of the day on the phone with Norcold (the shipper) and YRC (the trucking company) trying to find out what went wrong this time.
It seems the shipping department at Norcold put the wrong shipping code on it so the trucking company didn’t know it was an overnight shipment.  I swear the level of incompetency at Norcold is beyond anything I have ever seen.  We’ve already researched the names of the higher ups at Norcold so I can write a scathing letter once this whole fiasco is over.  We also looked up the higher ups at Dometic, which is Norcold’s competitor, I think they might get a letter also so they will know how bad their competitor is doing.  Believe me we looked to see if a Dometic fridge would fit in our space without having to do a lot of remodeling.

This afternoon did bring good news.  The part arrived here at the service center about 2:30 this afternoon and it is the right one.  We are scheduled to get it installed first thing in the morning.  Keep your fingers crossed that nothing else goes wrong.  It’s officially been two months since this started on November 14.

  1. Ugh! This kind of thing is sooooo frustrating. I am having to drive three times to a Toyota dealership to have a defective seatbelt replaced. Already been there once. Evidently, the service dept. cannot order the part and I have to appear in person (can't do it over the phone) to order and pay for the part before the installation can be scheduled. The two desks are 20 feet apart.

    Nothing like what you are going through, but I do feel your pain. :-)
