typical USPS

[mb7050]

So I just remembered that I ordered oil cooler kit for my truck like 5 months ago never received anything.. :eek4:
Not the first time something like this happens, it seems I'm stupid enough not to learn from my mistakes:rolleyes: -should NEVER use USPS-
seller says its too late to file a missing item report and doesn't reply my emails anymore ~200$ wasted .

i don't think i'd ever ship international via USPS. and i would always slap insurance on something that was more than $100.

USPS blows even in the states. At least they deliver 6 days a week to home addresses unlike other companies... Which is likely going to change because they can't make money. I wonder why not? :rolleyes:

I tried to register an account on usps.com FOUR times over several months.

Then I switched back the Internet Explorer 6 from the stone age. Worked perfectly.

^ Bahhaha.

You ever try to go into their office to ship something or get a passport? Their workers are soooooo slow. It takes forever. Oh and then their prices online are not the same as in house. More expensive at the post office.

every shipper has bad days. i've had a gauge disappear via fed-ex, and a set of surround-sound pc speakers disappear from UPS. the only company i can't really complain about is DHL--and that's because i've used their service all of like 2x in my entire life.

ha I contacted USPS just to see what they would say about this..
Thank you for contacting the United States Postal Service.

Unfortunately we are unable to assist you with an inquiry on the expected mail item. Per Universal Postal Union (UPU) regulations, inquiries on articles mailed to international destinations may be filed by the sender or the addressee with their own postal administrations. Please contact your postal administration to file an inquiry on this article.


The exchange of international mail is governed by the Convention of the UPU and the Postal Parcels Agreement to which all member countries are signatories. The Convention and the Agreement set forth the methods of exchange, the inquiry procedures, the limits of liability, the determination of responsibility, and the payment of indemnity for international mail articles.


Thank you for the opportunity to address this matter with you.

lol my local postal administration can´t even track the item :Doh:

[terrets]

I dont think you can win this case...Its the government man, your fucked. ;)

[mb7050]

I know ,its a waste of time even to think about arguing with the USPS :D

it looks like the item is not lost tho. it got returned to seller i think the seller could pick it up anytime at Post Office SUITLAND MD 20746.. I even told the seller I would pay the shipping and handling cost if he could refund me the money or resend the item by UPS ofcourse I would pay the extra shipping costs..

Shipping international is assloadous expensive via UPS or Fed Ex.

I shipped a ETACS unit to a guy in The Netherlands via USPS for $15. He got it in 3 days.

The next cheapest option was $120.

I've had more issues with Fed Ex, probably ten fold over USPS and UPS combined.

I don't really understand exactly why this is USPS fault. Their job was over once the item entered your postal service. Your postal service tried to deliver... did they not leave a notice that they tried to deliver? It probably sat as your post office for a couple of weeks before the package was sent back to the seller.

FWIW it probably would have cost at least 3x as much if it was shipped via UPS or FedEx.

Sent a set of headlights to Hawaii via USPS. I received a notice that the headlights couldn't be delivered due the address not existing. I called them and they said the address didn't have a mail receptacle (a mail box) and the package was already on the way back to me. Needless to say that person had to pay for shipping twice.

Speed Unlimited is in Maryland, by Andrews Airforce base. They've been there since cars ran on 6 volts, so they're not a fly by night vendor. I'd try and get one of the members from Maryland to go by there and see if they can't get it resolved somehow.

Its not directly USPS fault its my postal / customs fault mainly, its also my fault that I didnt try to resolve this sooner. No they didn´t leave a notice or a phone call whatsoever. Address was 100% correct typically our customs holds packets for 14days . Anything over 50€ worth ends up in customs here..

DHL and UPS work 'superb' here they always deliver directly to your door, they call first if they can´t reach you they keep calling then they leave a txt message and a post notice . yes more expensive but well worth it atleast you get what you pay for..

[AgentOblivious]

Ya sounds like its more of an issue with the mail being handled on your end. Personally, every time something is shipped here from the US via UPS, I have to track it, then chase down the local UPS guy and get my item from their depot before they send it back because they never seem to bother to actually deliver it to my door (even though their tracking says they did.) USPS through Canada Post, I've never had a problem with, and its about 1/3rd the cost.

[mb7050]

the fact is you use USPS you have to deal with our postal service too which is as bad as the USPS even worse ..

btw. its this cooler Universal SuperCooler rated at 29,200 BTU 11"x11"x1-1/2" (http://www.bmracing.com/PRODUCTS/Universal-SuperCoolers/Universal-SuperCooler-rated-at-29-200-BTU-11x11x1-1-2) and some 1/2” NPT to -8 AN earl fittimgs for the cooler. its bigger than anything that comes with the oil cooler kits for our cars(correct me if Im wrong) so it only fits front mount if you wish to use in your 3s ..
Any locals need a new cooler I already bought a new one so I dont necessarily need this one anymore. My loss, your gain :)

I looked and shipping via UPS is 280$ soo lol
