Post by: Scoobum on June 26 2016, 08:59:39 PM: My buddy Mike with the 2002 9 second Camaro I race with ships his transmission off to Pittsburgh for a warranty repair....and UPS loses it. Not wanting to lose the season...he orders a new one...and drives to Pittsburgh and back this weekend to get it. He gets a call from UPS after 5 weeks today...tellin g him it's sitting at a farmers house...wait for it...in Nebraska. Are you fukn kidding me!?

3-4 months it comes back with "unknown address" & had been rubber stamped from all over the world including one was from Australia! I'm just glad it wasn't a high $$ part.

Dave, Rancho would be Kenne Bell. I think we all have horror stories for shipping. When I had my 85 T-Type I ordered some 32 lb injectors but KB sent me 40 lb ones. I returned them and got the new ones. Then I had a collection company after me because UPS charged me taxes again!! On a return. Trying to explain this to the collection company was useless. They said if you buy a TV you'd have to pay the taxes. I agreed but said not twice!!!
