Hey, VehiGAZ I just found out something from my local dealer which may apply in your case. Because the hunny and I each have salvage vehicles which have both had the hoods replaced, I ordered two stickers (those ones that go under the hood that talk about emissions and tune ups and such). This was about 6 1/2 weeks ago, when I decided to go ahead and paint my Ebony (and at the time I was seriously considering buying the hunny's Proton, which I knew had no sticker cause the salesman told me over the phone).
They said it'd be in in a week, two tops. Two weeks later they said "Huh, we don't know what happened, call back tomorrow." Two weeks later, they said "Try next Thursday." Last week, they said the same. Finally, I walked into the Parts Department today, while I was waiting for the hunny's Proton to get the SDM module replaced prior to my CHP inspection tomorrow (Because the California DMV apparently doesn't believe any other state can perform reliable or accurate safety inspections).
Lo and Behold, they had ONE of the stickers I ordered (the other on b/o). The guy at the counter said that the delay was caused (due to GM pulling out of Isuzu) because the dealership had recently ceased being an Isuzu dealer (meaning, they no longer sell the new Azz-enders) but their Parts and Service Departments will continue to service Isuzu products. So the dealer got a new dealer number and all the old Isuzu parts orders went poofy-bye-bye into the ether, looking for the old dealer number. So they had to reorder it. With their new dealer number. After, of course, I pestered them enough to realize I was serious about getting my parts.
This may be the cause of some of your delays. Meaning that Merlin can certainly help, since St. Charles Isuzu probably isn't pulling out of selling Isuzu's any time soon.
