Here we go again guys... A while back it took 2 weeks to get a part delivered from Long Island to me here in central NJ, as it went all the way from NY... to Trenton ( 5 minutes away), then to OK... to IL... to Washington DC... and I think then eventually ended up getting back to NJ and finally delivered. This time, I ordered a needle valve off of eBay for a Kawasaki carburetor that looked like it was going to come from from Monroe NJ (about 20 minutes away), which is one of the reasons why I ordered it, thinking I'd get it quicker than if it had to come from some other part of the country. (I wanted to pick it up in person, but the seller had no physical store where I could go pick it up, and it was going to take the dealer a week or so to get it, so I ordered it off of eBay.) That was on 5/22/25 at 4:06pm. As you can see by the recap below, it started off OK as it went from Monroe, to Trenton (5 minutes away), but then someone decided it needed to take the scenic route:
It kind of reminds me of the story of paying one guy to dig a hole... then another to fill it... then another to dig the same hole... and then somebody else to fill it.... Eventually, you end up with one hole dug and one hole filled, but it took a month, and you end up paying for 7.
