Couldn't find one on the www, and it seems the freezer I just bought is happy to stay at 50* http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-angry013.gif
If no Lowe's, anyplace else I can buy a freezer, and return this one when I pass back through Batesville? I have half a notion to leave the fish guts in it I was gonna freeze until I could dispose of them (no place in campsite to do it).
Thanks!
Nope, Batesville is it. Wally World or Sears in Grenada is the best bet.
Hey Neon,
When (or if) you decide to head north, any chance you coming through SC??
SeaRay
CRAP! I looked at SprawlMart in Batesville didn't carry them, so I had to go to Lowes. I don't shop the one back home, now I know why.Quote:

I've seen people buy a new upright freezer or frig and lay them down in the truck to take home.
They need to set for over a week after being layed on their sides before plugging in.
call me Brian and I can go to Lowe's and buy one and when I come to Grenada I can bring it to you and you just pay me back 662 418 2038 we have a Lowe's 20 minutes from the house
i bought a frig/freezer from lowes a couple of years back and the guy told me to not lay it down to transport. always stand one up, new or used...
Anything with a compressor and oil in it needs to be transported in the working position.
I can build you one that looks like a Whirlpool washing machine. :)

I was an HVAC guy all my life so I know a little about that, but regardless, the freezer (chest) was upright 100% of the time.
Thanks Donnie, but if I accepted your offer (which I appreciate), when I returned the POS I bought, they'd likely want to give me in-store-credit as opposed to a refund. Now I ain't knockin' your State, but I'm not interested in seeing how nice the jail is on the inside. This way they can exchange it and if they don't have one, they'll play h-e-double hockey sticks getting me to accept a store credit.
I'll just return it on the way back to Sardis. I'm calling them today and telling them they ought to deliver one to me since I've had $200 worth of Prime Rib and Fillets spoil in it :Rofl (Not really but I am asking about delivery)
get SPECK to do it it will be camo
Just got off the phone with the Lowes Store, said they'd deliver me one and exchange it.....on the 17th. I told them I'd just buy one in Grenada and return this one for a refund (which wouldn't be a store credit, they'd credit it back to my card). I find it hard to believe they wouldn't put one in the back of a pick-up and have a guy run it down here to keep a customer happy, but I guess that's not a concern of theirs.
You've forgotten what you are dealing with Neon. Keeping one customer happy and good common sense is not top priority in the big box corporate world.Quote:

Be nice to get both a working freezer and cell phone, but right now I'd settle on just the freezer. Guy just left with the wood stove, so at least it's out of the way.
let speck fix you up . he is the whole cause of a fish shortage on several lakes with his freezer hauling them back north . shoot he is probably the cause of your freezer not working . it is always Specks fault . lol
Sounds like a good thing to get circulating on the internet......It'll give Bush a break :RoflQuote:

Now when I go back North and stop at Lowes (to tell them to stuff their junk) I can also stop and buy some extra meat (and ice cream!) to put in the freezer, be nice to have. Looks odd with the wood stove gone and the freezer in it's place.

Good deal glad you got every thing taken of.
There you go. Hope it last a few years for you.
Thanks guys! :cheers2
All is peaceful once again...........for now :Rofl
Now all I got left to remedy is this crappy cell phone so I can get a signal down here. :banghead (But I'm workin' on it)
I know at sardis i just give up and turned mine off . you can't even buy food in sardis . lol
Nm, is it hard to break camp for you and go exchange your freezer? Just curious what all is involved. Never had a bus before, so just wondering. I'm pretty sure I would have to wait in line myself to get a delivery of a new appliance even though I live 5 miles from the store even if it was an exchange. Have you considered the fact that they will probably have $200 or more tied up in fuel,milage,driver,etc just to exchange a $200 freezer?
Did you get you a Straight Talk at Walmart. That's what I have, just can't up size pictures to email.
Now he bought that freezer knowing it would work, being new in the box. This shows that costumer service is for in store only. It's a good 50 miles to the store from where he's at. I wouldn't break camp for that move. He's headed back to Sardis in a few days, it can wait.
I live 3 miles from the Southaven Walmart Mall area. I have a few things that need to be returned. If I'm not at that store, it can wait.
My :twocents
That's why I always try and stop to re-supply between stops. Unless I look on the internet before-hand to see what's local. Before I headed to Grenada, I knew I wanted to catch my laundry up, and looked at a satellite view of the parking lot just to be sure once I pulled-in I had room to get out.Quote:

It was more the 6mpg @ $4/gal that I didn't want to add to the cost of a freezer ($50). I don't even plan to be here on the 17th, so that wasn't even in the picture, I'll be going right past the store sometime next week (at no additional cost to me since I was planning to return to Sardis anyway). In the meantime I had a dozen fish I wanted to freeze. I'd have had to eat what I could, or give them away.Quote:

They are the ones who sold me a junk freezer, it's their place to make it right, shouldn't cost me a dime more than the initial cost of the freezer. Doubt it'd have cost them anywhere near $200. 80 mile round trip, 2 hours pay, say $25, 4 gallons of fuel for a pick-up truck (at 20mpg)= $12, well under $50, which is a small cost for a company like Lowes to ensure customer satisfaction. Besides, they deliver anyway, so it wasn't going to be an additional cost out of their pocket, they could have taken care of me sooner, they were basically telling me to return it myself, I wasn't worth them fooling with. I'm over it, got a working freezer, that's all I wanted to begin with, now all I want is the junk one off my trailer and my money back. Then Lowes will have satisfied me and I'll be done with 'em.:highfive
Didn't get a phone cb, I learned I need a CDMA TracFone, and not the GSM (which I have). The CDMA will put me on Verizon as the Carrier whereas the GSM has me on AT&T. I just need to find a CDMA phone, which generally aren't sold in areas with GSM coverage (because AT&T gives TracFone a cheaper rate, but cost to me is the same regardless). So I may have to order one off the internet. If I do, I'll just wait until I return to Sardis to be sure I'll be in one spot long enough for it to be delivered. Whatever I do I need to be sure I have coverage back in "that State" I came from, as well as here, and Verizon is the answer.Quote:
