Ya know, OP, I'd sure agree with you if HD was just standing around, waiting for YOUR order! But, just like in any bureaucracy, especially big bureaucracies, when you order comes in, it goes to the BOTTOM of the pile, and works it's way up. With the information given that they don't have big stockpiles of fenders waiting in your particular color, eight weeks isn't really that long. I suspect that if you went to a local painter, it would take that long or longer for the painter to get time to do your little tiny job in preference of the larger, more lucrative jobs.
Nothing to cry about, my man...just the way things go here in the real world.
Tourists come from all over and we love em all, plenty from US, Canada and European countries and Asia a lot from China. Most recent fatal crashes was 3 from the USA in one car, 1 from Scotland and a couple from Asia. The reasons vary for the crashes but often it is Fatigue....
As for your comment re time of claim...Yep about 3 weeks ago I made my comment and I was grumpy.....but because at that stage I had waited since 12 January when the claim was submitted and accepted. So I know you want to come out as right it has taken two months....but as stated in many of my posts since I am happy with the reasons...now can we put this to bed, so many read half the posts and still get it wrong....Maybe when the sun shines you can go ride bikes
Veekness, please read ALL the Posts and you will see this has been sorted many many times over.
I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH HD.....OK
