Default So what should i do?

So Modern sent me the wrong sized belts for my UDP. I have to drive and grab something for work by tomorrow. I could complain to modern and have them resend the belts. They won't get to me in time though and I'm not pulling the UDP off again to put the stock one on. I don't even think I can since the MPx doesn't have slots for a puller. I could go to autozone but its going to cost like 40 bucks for both belts.

Here are some things I have come up with.
1.complain to modern and tell them I want my money back.
2.go to autozone get the belts. then once the belts from modern get here take the autozone belts back. Which i'm not even sure that will work.

Man FIRST tell Modern the problem. They are so friendly they'll work with you. Second get your money back (or have them send out the right ones) since you cant wait and you need your car. Third just get the ones from Autozone since you need the belts so you can drive to work. I dont think you can take back the belts to Autozone unless you were very careful not to get a single mark on them (scratch) and tell them your friend got these and ordered the wrong ones. This lie (I mean story) would help if you took them back to a different Autozone (cameras and the chance you might see the same person that helped you).

Call Autozone and ask them if you buy some belts and they dont fit or in your case (never used them) hint hint. Can you get your money back. If you say you used them then your f****.

alright called...ummm...when I ordered I didn't scroll down and change from SRT to 00-05 neon. Which is kinda stupid if you ask me...I mean, if I wanted to get a UDP for a srt I would have clicked that on the left side. It's dumb that when I click 00-05 for parts just for my car I have to find the stupid drop down box that you have to scroll to find. Makes no sense...

anyways, he said I would have to ship my belts back. They are in TX which is about to be hit by a hurricane it won't be shipped out for a while. gay! So they really aren't going to do anything for me.

EDIT: Now I just realized I also have a pulley for an SRT-4. Didn't think to ask but its probably the same as the one I need right?

There site is a little tricky. You do have to watch and read the whole page when you order from them. We need to explain that so they can tell there webmaster to make the site more user friendly. So are you getting the belts from Autozone?

I got the Alt belt from autozone. They didn't have a 50 inch belt. So the car is running. It doesn't have AC or Power steering. I don't use AC anyways. I went to napa and had them order a 49.5 inch. We will see how that works out. I will probably order the 50 inch from dayco now. The napa will just be temporary. But dang! My car revs super fast without that PS/Alt belt on. I almost want to keep it off lol.
