Got a weird package from ford Aus today
« on: August 02, 2016, 09:58:05 am »
Hey guys.

So I got the weirdest package from ford today. At first I thought they just put the wrong name on the sheet but the mail was redirected back to ford and then they stuck another postal stamp on the box with my name on it.

Well Ryan I think Martin that owns the GT coupe might be upset that you got his present from Ford and you own a convertible and your name is Ryan  :grin:

I just rang ford to ask apparently all the first owners at Christmas time get one. Good old ford stuffed up again. Before I said anything the lady from ford already knew about it. so they said I will get one of my car with the painting but someone else in Aus has my one. They are trying to fix the issue. A courier will be Comming to pick it up.

Was the print of the car the same on the one you got? Sounds like they have sent the wrong one to everyone.

Yeah, the print was the same red Fastback.  Looks good.  I'd like to know if there are other artwork designs too.

From what I've heard it's everyone the names have been stuffed up. I just wonder how this happened.  :thud:

Who would know - but I am VERY thankful the people that engineer and build the car are NOT the same ones who are in charge of virtually everything else! Just about every other aspect of buying a Mustang in Australia feels like it is a rolled gold debacle.......

Until you drive away in yours, and then the sun comes out and the world is a happy place again.

Received a replacement letter today with the correct name.  It was nice that Ford went to the trouble to fix their stuff up.
