Sounds like someone along the USPS line needed brakes too.

I have had packages lost too, not sure how big packages get lost, yes maybe a day or two, but for weeks, months, never to be found. Come on the packages dont walk out to the woods and become hermets.

My buddy ordered some Bose computer speakers from Comp USA online. FedEx delivered and empty box. Now nobody wants to make it right.

Luckily I have never had a problem (knocking on wood)

I feel for you it happens alot and UPS and FED EX do not really help that much in tracking unless you really lay on them, I purchased a set of nos GM aluminum heads for a restoration project and they lost one head

Because people steal stuff from mail services all the time. I worked at UPS and saw it happen.

People sometimes just suck...

yeah... i can see one disappearing, but three, ime with the rotors, one woth the calipers and brackets and the third with the master cylinder.... but i hope they come to good use somwhere and that the insurance covers it... as long as i get my brakes in time to hit the roads in april... but it sure is annoying.. its been three months since a transmission company cheated me out of over 900 dollars worth of goods (i ended up paying taxes and customs in that 900 btw... (an extra 39%!!)) and claimed the shippers lost it... so this feels a little to much like deja'vue

although with TC and ATS on the other end im a whole different kind of confident that ill get my stuff, or replacements, this time

but it still blows

One way things happen is when the guy drops off something to the wrong place and no one reports it.

yeah... but the stuff never made it to denmark... it just magically disappeared in NJ. no trace in the computer.. no signature... no nothing....

it never entered danish customs...

Again? Damn, you've had some rotten luck!
