Re: 50% of our AndyMark orders wrong

The chassis and the belts came in correctly but we received 4 6" white grip wheels and the omnis. Is this usual from Andymark? Has anyone else been experiencing this, during build season?
My orders from AM and VEX have always come in correctly.

Have you considered that someone from AM is looking at you order and going "Umm, thats not going to work out well, you should be using this instead."? Seriously, you should have called them.

Since VEX is pretty much same day ship, why call them and ask? I hate bothering people / remotely micromanaging on something that I have a high confidence will be right and that I'll get a shipping notice for pretty soon.
