sooooo i sent my motor out to be cermet coated by JHB Performance. they shipped it back to me via fedex, it got to south jersey (im in north jersey) and was magically "temporarily misplaced" in the keasbey, nj facility.
so now i have to put in a lost package claim and try to get enough money to buy 2 new rotor housings, have the stage 3 ported, and ceramic coated (around $2000 worth of stuff).
thank you fedex for delaying my car, i knew i liked UPS better for some reason.
this is the first shipping problem ive had with ANYTHING ive ordered for any of my cars, and ive ordered tens of thousnads of stuff online, hell it was easier to buy my turbo from aruba and have it shipped here. of course what do i lose in the mail? my **********ing motor.
now im really close to just packing the whole thing up and selling it.

That sucks, they are probably sitting in some unsuspecting old womans living room as we speak.
FedEx, has lost stuff on me before from Summit Racing. It says "Summit Racing" all on the box. Perfect for any opportunist somewhere along the line to take.

ive had 0 problems with UPS and ive literally shipped tens of thousands of dollars of stuff, nothing has even been damaged.
fedex so far has fucked me royally twice and ive only used them like 4 or 5 times.

Yah, i made the mistake of shipping something to someone in a DELL box. Of course, the box was "lost." From now on, i label my packages as "Not Expensive Car Parts" or "Broccoli"
LOL
I never ship anything without insurance and tracking...

tracking is useless. my package has been "departing from keasbey facility" for almost 2 weeks now.

So how does Dell do buisness online? Wouldn't every single laptop/monitor/computer get stolen once it leaves the Dell warehouse? Is that why Gateway has their employees running across North America by foot with boxes of Gateway products to be delievered at customer warehouses?
