Christy took off this morning from work to get the hitch installed. I followed in my car so that she wouldn't have to sit there for the hour or so it was supposed to take.
So there we both are at 7 in the morning waiting for U-Haul to open. Ten minutes after U-Haul was supposed to be open the manager finally shows up only to tell us that they have fucked up our appointment and the parts aren't in and the price we were quoted was wrong.
He gives us a price that is $120 more then we were originally quoted and says that they can do it tomorrow. Not happy at all we tell him that we will think about it and leave.
After making many phone calls this morning to hitch installing places that was a bit like asking to have a red hot poker shoved up my ass I come to the conclusion that U-Haul's price is actually one of the better prices and probably is the least shady place to have the work done.
I did Google how much it would cost to buy everything and do it ourselves and it did work out to a decent savings but none of the places had the wiring harness in stock and most said it would be a week to ten days to get it in plus the time to ship it.
Not wanting to wait another two weeks to get the hitch not to mention having no desire to be crawling under a Scion TC bolting on hitches and installing wiring harnesses we opted to let U-Haul install the hitch tomorrow.
So I call U-Haul back and I'm assured that they can do it tomorrow but late today when I called just to make sure that they had received all the needed parts I'm told that they don't expect them in until 10 AM.
I'm not sure how they thought they could install something at 7 AM that wasn't arriving until 10 AM but this seems to be the way U-Haul does business.
As much as I want to tell U-Haul to shove the hitch up the manager's ass we don't seem to have any other option so now the hitch install has been rescheduled for Friday at 7 AM.
It's frustrating to say the least since yesterday we bought our seats, paddles, paddle leashes and hatches for our kayaks and today my kayak was delivered.
This afternoon I installed the hatches in both kayaks and got them ready for the water but without a trailer hitch we have no way of actually getting them to the water which is only one mile away.
