    Perfect fit bit took longer than expected

    Posted by Bruce on 14th Dec 2017

    I’d given 5 stars but the part took longer to arrive that expected. I paid extra for what is called 2-3 day shipping. It was a full 3. “Business days” but with a weekend in there it was 5 days. I ordered late evening Tuesday. Watched the fulfillment and shipping process. The order wasn’t processed until late Wednesday evening, too late to make the mail that day. So it went Thursday and they’d when the 2-3 day shipping clock started. Package arrived bed Monday. You’d think paying extra for shipping they’d deliver Saturday.

    I'm all thumbs, and this repair still took less than 15 minutes, and worked perfectly the first time.

    Appliance Zone was the cheapest, easiest to locate parts. Heating element was exactly as described and fit perfectly! Even arrived 2 days earlier than projected!
