« 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!?

FedEx drop kicked my Procharger; and USPS lost the intermediate driveshaft (through the oil pan) for the TBSS.  It happens to us all... the claim process is going to suck.

I tried sending a part UPS to Rancho Cucamonga back in the 90's for L Conley I think? Anyways after about
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!!!

Your right KB who as well as a shipping nightmare got me pretty good on some wrong parts but that's getting too far off topic here.
