So what does the tracking history say? Does it say it was delivered? If not, where was it when the last status was updated?

[VXorado]

Oh no Jo!!!

How would they lose such a big, heavy item? They better find that 3rd, its not like you can easily get another one.

[LittleBeast]

I am so sorry Jo! I was afraid of that happening :-( If it is any consolation, USPS did the same thing to me with a package of CV shafts once and a month later they found it in a damaged box somewhere in a warehouse and I finally got it weeks later.

[BigSwede]

That sucks. Too late now, but I always use FedEx Ground for large or heavy shipments, they are cheaper than UPS or USPS. I paid considerably less than you did to ship thirds just a month ago...

Oh, and one time I bought something on eBay and it took over SIX WEEKS to arrive via USPS.

[Triathlete]

That blows!!!! Hope they make it right and find the package.

[Ldub]

Keep the faith...I mean, everything is SOMEWHERE...

[JoFotoz]

Yea..its somewhere...

Tracking shows it leaving Cumming PO in Atlanta..Feb 24th...
...then it vanishes.

Its not like it fell down the back of a sorting desk/machine....

...and it not like insurance can easily replace it.

I feel ya Jo...
When I bought my 3/4" red Crosby shackles 2 yrs ago, I received a box pretty much destroyed and it had only 2 D-rings....no pins....and a USPS note that said it broke open in transit and they're sorry, blah blah blah. OK, well, where are those 2 red pins...they're NOT small, they're NOT light...where did they go??
I figured they must have some type of "lost & found"....right?....um.....no....
Luckily the vendor offered to send me 2 more complete 3/4" shackles....
....and your item is bigger, much heavier...and not easily replaced.
Good luck, sometimes it takes a while for them to route stray orphans back to the right Post Office....maybe it will show up....

[JoFotoz]

Thanks Kat...

Not sure if this is the reason, but, I had a USPS package to be delivered to me, had a tracking number and it showed it was "delivered" on a particular date but I never actually got it. Come to find out that the mail carrier person could not physically drive up to my residence mailbox because another car was supposedly blocking it or in the way of the postal vehicle approaching the mailbox. I was informed that postal regulations require a curbside mailbox to be unobstructed to thirty feet, else no mail will be delivered at all! My problem was then why would the tracking info state the thing was "delivered" when it was not, blah blah blah.

At this rate, the USPS will soon be able to build their own VX. I've already donated a set of seat sliders to such a noble cause. They were so appreciative that they returned the empty package to me & told me that the packaging was inadequate (even though I bought it from them).

[tom4bren]

Thanks Kat...

That's why you should always insist on hand delivery from the vendor.

USPS is horrible. I bought a Trooper dash from a guy on the Planet. He sent it USPS. I waited. I waited. I started getting nervous. I waited some more. Finally, I emailed the guy I bought the dash from. He replied and said he will look into it.

A few hours later, he emails back and said he called his local USPS and tried to track it via the insurance slip. They told him the box was sitting at my local post office. This is like 3 weeks after he sent it to me, mind you. Also note, that I get all my mail delivered to my UPS Store box. This way, there is always someone to accept my packages and I don't have to give strangers my home address ever. Anyway, I go down to the post office, I explain to the lady that they should have a LARGE BOX for me there. She goes in the back for a while and then appears with the box.

I ask her, "why was this not delivered?" She says, "oh, we made a delivery attempt to your apartment, didn't you get it?" I said, "first of all, I do not live in an apartment, and since when do you guys leave delivery attempt slips at UPS Store addresses? You're lying!" I was about to lay into her heavy, just as the manager overheard the conversation and came out and apologized. The manager told me, "your box got shoved into a corner and forgotten, our mistake."

Wow, a 5' tall box got shoved into a corner and got overlooked.

If you want more stories to feel better, just let me know, I can provide. I hope your box shows up soon, Jo.
