(USPS)They somehow lost my efi live cable. WTF. Like usual I didn't insure it for near enough money, but atleast I found my tracking number. :dancenana:

Anyway, I shipped it on November 25 and it still hasn't made it to SoCal yet. I keep waiting for SoCal to call me. Saying, ":mail:"




Anyway just wondering how many of you lost things in the mail?

I like my UPS man but he won't pickup packages, and USPS was easy ......:eek:. Anyway, what do you guys prefer to use for shipping?

Have a daily UPS pickup and we send out 20-30 pacakges a day..... havent had one lost yet but Ive had an issue or two with personal shipments a few years back. We just reworked our international shipping from our manufacturers in Korea and got 60% off published rates with FedEx so we are using them for international shipping. 2 days from Korea is nice! USPS Priority has gotten super expensive lately :(

I only use USPS to ship stuff to Cananda. Last year when I shipped Dale's EFILive to him in Alberta and it ended up in Saskatchewan. The insurance was useless in this case. If the gentleman and Saskatchewan wouldn't have been honest I think we would of have been SOL.

UPS and USPS.

Only thing I dont like about Priority Mail is the tracking numbers are next to useless UNTIL the package is delivered.

He does over $100k in international shipping a year, so they want his business :D


*whistling*....100K in international volume and they got 60% off rates? Damn. Did UPS even try to match that? Can I put in a sales lead for your company? :rofl:

I was waiting on a S4 kit from Suncoast last week....just got a call yesterday. The package left Florida, got shipped, at some point apparently I refused delivery on it, even though I never saw it....and it ended back at Suncoast's door step....UPS to Canada pisses me off.:rofl:

Now in the process of filling out a claim form.


Yells .......Guy .......... Oh Guy.... Damn he must be on vaca again.:D

I need some paper work from him, apparently they need proof that what I sent was worth what I said it was worth. IDK wtf it matters. I insured it for X dollars. If I thought a damn 4"x4"x4" box was worth $100K they should be able to get the SOB to California in a month. :mad:

I hate UPS.
I would rather ship FedEx or DHL. Especially internationally.
I sent a package to Lennart in Germany using Deutsch Post which is the German DHL IIRC. It was an ugly ugly box with a Dual Fueler hard line in it and it made it no problem.
