People selling stuff that they don't have in stock.

Ordered DRZ tyres (with my overdraft as I'm impatient waiting two weeks until I can afford them) and the big legit company I ordered from last night emailed this morning to say they don't have them. They had loads of others on their site showing as out of stock and these said in stock, so I assumed (wrongly) that they are actually in stock. They then offered to try and get them from France, possibly by the end of January, but it's not hopeful and will probably cost more. So, they then refund me, but no refund appears and now apparently it's nothing to do with them and I need to sort it out as they've voided it all.

So I have no funds for tyres and am paying interest on the money they have of mine and I need to sort it out myself, all to end up still having no tyres. Grrrr.

Dealing with a torrent of incompetent idiots yesterday at work and on the way home didn't set me up well for this either.

Arrghh. DRZ short speedo cable that clueless seller sold me has been returned and refunded and I've ordered a new one from Wemoto, which arrived and is all good. Figured Wemoto are reliable on getting the right fitments. Also ordered a throttle cable for the DRZ from them at the same time and have been trying to fit it all afternoon. Losing my mind thinking how have I forgotten how to adjust push pull throttle cables?! Turns out I have been doing it right but the throttle cable they've supplied has the wrong length inners. Pull is 1 inch too long and push is one inch too short. Just totally locked up once fitted. Getting really fed up with wasting my rare time off trying to work on things with wrong bits have been sent. F@£$%@£$%ck

How can they say it is no longer anything to do with them if you haven't received the refund ?!

They can't. But they can make it a hassle for me to sort out. I'll get a refund but I'll have to waste a load of my time to get it.

Don't suppose it works if you swap them?

The inline adjuster would be on the push cable? The wrong way around. I've measured the inners. The pull is an inch too long (so maxes out all adjusters and still has loads of freeplay in the throttle) and the push is 2 inches too short. The outers are the same as stock, but there's no way the inners are going to work.

Dang.
You'll just have to sit on it and make brum noises
