Lost Shipping Package Apr 9, 2016 18:41:52 GMT -7

Post by Mr. B Racing on Apr 9, 2016 18:41:52 GMT -7

I was really looking forward to today's NPWDRL Spring Fling Race. That was until this morning when I got a message from Joel. “Please check tracking on your shipping box, we have not gotten your cars.” The last recorded tracking was April 7, 2016 – St. George, UT. Package out for delivery. But my package has not been delivered yet and my cars did not race in the Spring Fling Race.

I have confirmed that the delivery address I used is correct. So I have opened up a Case Number with USPS to try to find my package but according to the case report that will take between 3 and 5 days for USPS to investigate. So in the mean time I will have to gather receipts for all of the parts I bought for these cars in case if I need to file a claim.

Prime Time is missing – Unlimted car.
Dark Myst is missing – Eliminator car.
Iolite is missing – New Eliminator car.
Demon is missing – New SP car.
Odds Zonn is missing – New SS car.
Big Beautiful Wheels is missing – BASX car.
BASSIK is missing – BASX car.

What do I do now? I have no competitive cars to send to Nationals! I have no parts to build anything new for Nationals. It's time to take some time away from racing and regroup.

It's Been Fun!

My shipping box is under-insured, that's on me and I'll probably lose quite a bit of money, but I'm hoping the box turns up somewhere.

But what bothers me the most about this is the response from the USPS that is in Zeebzob's comments. The Postal Carrier thought she delivered everything but because of all of the other packages being delivered she didn't scan all of them.

Thank you USPS Carrier for a job not well done.

The strange thing is the 2 boxes that are missing are the ones that still say out for delivery. So somewhere between the post office and my house they magically disappeared. One thing I'm going to do before the next race is get a PO box. That way there will be no wait for boxes on race day. The only issue is you can only use USPS for a PO box. So for those that don't use the USPS will have to ship to my house. I think this will be a good solution and take one more person out of the equation. Having early access to the mail will also insure a on time start. It was killing me yesterday not starting at noon, and makes it hard for those that come live to get back home in a timely manor. Thanks for all the support you guys are awesome, I'm sure with our great sponsors and racers will be able to get the missing cars replaced and back in action. I'm hoping they just show up and we can move forward with the original cars.

From something bad comes a good idea. A PO box to ship cars too is a great idea! It takes away that nagging feeling one gets when the USPS tracking (when the Postal Carrier scans that is) says "Delivered to the front porch." and hoping someone secures the box. I for one would be willing to chip in some $ to cover the cost of a PO box!

Well interesting story on the PO box. My wife stopped in yesterday to inquire of a PO box. she informed the lady of what was going on and the post lady said that we could not do a PO Box because it would just be used for packages. Crap!!! So I got a note in my mail box to call the Supervisor of our post office about the 2 lost boxes. So we talk for a bit about the packages, after the lost package talk I ask him about why is it a PO Box can't get packages? He says that they can and for what we need it would be a great decision. WTF!!!! So for the next race we will have a PO box to ship into. This will clear up the waiting for packages and ensure a accurate start time! It was killing me not starting on time!!!!! He said that even those that use UPS or Fed Ex can still ship to the PO Box, just uses a slightly different address. So good new on that front and the cost is next to nothing so even better!!!
