Where is my sway bar?

So I ordered an H-Sport 19mm sway bar off of M7 Dec 20th ..M7 calls me 21st said it will ship out the 26th. No email from Fed-ex. So I call back the 26th said the 28th ....Call the 28th said the 31st...I call today they said it shipped out the 26th they'll forward me the e-mail. Yet I still have no e-mail. Can anyone tell me what is going on or what I should do ?

Can't tell you what's going on, just what I'd do. Call back right now. Stay on their ***** and keep asking to speak to different people until someone gives you a straight answer. If nothing else tell the attendant that you'd like to cancel your order and if she refuses then notify your credit/debit card company.

I'd expect to be entitled to some sort of refund for the delay. Especially if you paid for any type of expedited shipping. Do you have an email with any of the ship dates they quoted you, or was it only given when you called in? I'd assume there'd at least be something on the confirmation email you should have received after placing your order.

Best of luck!

The only e-mail(other than the confirmation sent right after the order is made) was the processed e-mail telling me that they got the order and fed-ex would e-mail me a tracking number. I sent them an e-mail last night asking if I could cancel and get my money back.

Any hardware store sells teflon tape. Home Depot, Lowes, Sutherlands, Tru Value, Plumping Supply store. Maybe even Auto Parts stores...you should call first.

Didn't see the last part of your question. But yep, you can find it just about anywhere. I've even seen it at Wal Mart (no offense, just saying you can go to the most standard of stores ).

You didn't miss it I edited it and I quickly discovered the tape is found just about anywhere 30 seconds after I edited the question.
