That Yellow bin i shipped it in is heavy so you may want to disassemble and sneak it in one part at a time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once a package leaves here it is out of our control, I shipped this USPS priority and it should have already been there. I shipped his bolts with the same service, at the same post office, on the same day. This stuff happens and it is out of our control. We actually have more issues out of Fedex vs usps. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 851 Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) It will get there, I deal with this almost every week I just had a package go to Hawaii from the east coast before coming to Alaska....? Sometimes I get stuff in 2 days from East coast, sometimes 10 days-roll the dice You cant blame the shipper though, if he packs it well, gets it out in a timely fashion and provides a tracking number, what else can he do? USPS Priority does not refund unless item is lost or damaged, at least in my experiences Sometimes the delays let me get more (better) prep-work done that I might not of done if parts were sitting on bench -LOL Edited October 8, 2020 by AKATV 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My fault. I was inferring from context that it was a big part and was sent FedEx. It may still involve them though... Agree not to blame shipper either way. It was likely on-the-road within 24 hours from request in this case. This kinda thing just sucks... Depending on volume/size/destination the post office will contract their volume shipments through FedEx (and others) FedEx smart-post sometimes will only have a USPS tracking number and doesn't show up in FedEx's traditional tracking site. Your package may have started out as USPS and transitioned to FedEx before being handed back to a local USPS distribution center. That would send it through Memphis (my understanding) This happened to me before the varus so who knows now. Try throwing the USPS tracking number into FedEx tracking and see what you get 1 hour ago, 1080PowersportsPartsLLC said: We actually have more issues out of Fedex vs usps.

It's great dealing with the people sometimes isn't it ! They have NO CLUE ?? I order a couple of thousand of parts a month and They are usually needed fast so the bikes are ready for a race the next weekend. Sometimes that does NOT HAPPEN and it is NOT the sellers fault, I can see They shipped it ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 6,026 Posted October 9, 2020 let's get something straight here, I AM NOT BLAMING THE SHIPPER HERE !, all i am saying is, if i ship a part out, spec priority ?, and it does not get to that person in a timely fashion ?, then i dig into the carrier as to why ?. and i dang sure will get some kinda refund !. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you read the fine print of the priority mail it pretty much says "we will try to get it there quick but we don't guarantee anything" I tried to get some money back on expensive priority mail packages a few years ago and they straight up don't care if its late. I'm not sure if your getting my emails, it keeps coming back saying draft and i have sent it 3 times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
