Here is a story for you guys. This is an update on my ebay help topic. Well he finally shipped the damn turbo out. So i have been tracking it online and as of friday it was still not here. So i left to go to work, which is on sunday cause i work for the seahawks. Anyway i got home today and checked my mail. There was nothing there that said they had tried to deliver it. So i am like WTF it should have been here either friday or saturday. So i get online and look the tracking number up and guess what. It comes up the package was DELIVERED on saturday. I am like HOLY **** WTF. So i call usps and talk to them for like half an hour. Turns out the bastard didn't get delivery confrimation on the turbo and the mail carrier on my route says he now thinks he might have dropped it off at a diff. address, even though the tracking number says its suppose to be delivered. So now what the **** do i do. This is such bs. Anyways what should i do, obviously i will talk to him tomorrow morning, but until then what should i do, lets here it please.
Thanks
Dustin

 

go and kick your postmasters a$$.

 

well thats one option

 

Oh **** what a nightmare!

 

U have to contact your seller! then he have to call the post office and he have to settle it! Make sure you get a written or voice record of what the postman said cause that will help! I hope your shipper insured the package, and if you are lucky u might get your package back! if not at least get your money back or another turbo! Good luck!

 

yeah this nightmare just keeps going and going like the energizer bunny. More than likely the guy didn't insure the package, but i already email him and let him know whats going on. Oh and btw, DHL also sucks serious@$$ too. I was here all day today and they were suppose to deliver my racing harnesses today. So around 330 i check it online and sure enough what does it say, that its been delivered and someone by the name of j palmer had signed for it. And thats not my landlords name. So once again i was like WTF and called them up and asked why they didn't ring me and why they let some stranger sign for it. Turns out that this j palmer just walked into the mail room and the delivery girl just had him sign for it and he kept it until i came and claimed it. God i hate delivery services. This day really pissed me off cause the guy didn't send all the hardware needed to install the harnesses either.

 

I love US Postal.. only way to ship for me

UPS / FedEx / DHL / Puraltor all suck

US POSTAL BLOWS ***! They cant even give you point to point tracking!

Damn this turbo story of yours gets uglier by the minute! In your case, I'd understand if you said you only will shop at local stores the next time you wanna buy something... what a nightmare!

Well, hang in there buddy! I'm sure the shipping company has to be liable in some way for the delivery of the package, whether it's insured or not... or else, the delivery guys would just dump some packages on the street and go home to watch the game.

Anyway, if you ever get to the part where you can actually install the turbo on the car, let us know so we can celebrate with you!

I feel for you. The only way this could get any worse for you is if you actually get the package and then you can't make it work. (Oops!)

Actually... I thought about that too but I didn't want to alarm him anymore! I mean, what if the turbo comes in but now the casing is craked 'cause the guys at the depot played bowling with it before throwing it on the bottom of the truck?

Dustin... we all share your pain man!

If you actually look at the volume of mail that US Postal processes and the number of packages, they really can't provide you with point to point tracking

UPS and the rest charge YOU money to provide that kind of service.. you pay with higher postage and fees

Go to Fedex and try to send a letter half way around the world for the cost of a regular stamp and they will laugh you out the back door..

it seems like if you expect something, **** just happens. i hate that

 

ok i talked to the kid who lives at the address and he gave the package to the manager of his apartment complex so as soon as i find her i will hope to find me turbo

 

Yes - it is foolish to send regular letters via Fedex and such. However, I would never ever send a package worth thousands of dollars via USPS. That is asking for trouble.
