"Who has priority? The guy with the coal & no boiler or the guy with the boiler & no coal? Argfhhhhhh! My brain is melting!"

I'd say the guy who's spent the most money has priority, but with all that coal it could still be a draw :P

ARGGGG!

Is this true about Superior and rice? Have I waited too long?

I was hoping to call to get a delivery sometime SOON!

Do you think if I call I will get delivery by Fall??

What did Superior tell you?

I got coal yesterday. Not nearly as dramatic as Freddy's 48 tons dumped by that big semi. I did however use my automatic coal bin filling system that was 25 years in development. (Part of the system was only 23 years in development.)

They look like they're having fun. Do they realize that they are shoveling coal. :o

Freddy,

If it were me, I'd be overnighting that puppy with confirmation of delivery.

Don't want them to lose it........... And send yours to someone else.

I did decide to use a flat rate priority envelope. *only* $4.75 & confirmed delivery. Yaaaaa, I'd be hopping if they said "Someone came in & said they were you, your boiler is gone" :shock:
