    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 didnīt 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 canīt 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..

    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.

    "Yeah, kind of like the sun rising and then morning happening, eh? What are they trying to pull on us?"

    "If I wanted to hear from an asshole, I'd fart into a microphone."

    "It's easy. Take the last f*ck, and let it go, and thus you shall have no more f*cks to give."

    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" 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
