Default DO NOT USE UPS.

i ordered tein from Gary on group buy. departed Baldwin CA on Oct 11, 10:18pm. got to Portland Oregon on Oct, 14 10:47am. that's 2.5 days. it suppose to be at my house here in Wasington state on Oct 14. right now it's sitting on Portland Oregon for good 12 hours now. I noticed it got delayed yesterday so i thought it should be here in Washington by Saturday which i was kewl with cuz i can go to their office and pick it up. and if i knew my packages are gonna just stay on Oregon for 12+ hours i would of just drove down there and pick it up. it takes like 2 hours from here to oregon. now i higly doubt that i will be able to pick it up tomorrow. i was planning on installing tein this weekend. i can't believe this company is still in business. i am sorry for all the employees work at that sorry ass company. screw ups.

UPS is one of the larger companies in the world with a terrific track record...maybe a 20% stock increase in the last few years.

$hit happens, be patient.

While I'm sure you'd enjoy that, I don't think its gonna happen :/ Get a grip. Unless someone paid for next day or second day, they can take a few days to get you your stuff. You are sounding like a spoiled brat.

It's not necessarily the workers. If you ever take a tour of a UPS sorting facility, you'll see that most of the process is automated. Packages are fed to different trucks depending on the destination ZIP, and sometimes they get stuck, for whatever reason. If a belt backs up, packages can easily get crunched together or kicked out of the way by the guy trying to free up the belt.

If something is causing a blockage because it was poorly wrapped and is falling apart, you can be damn sure the workers will punt it out of the way. If it wasn't wrapped that well in the first place, then it's easily damaged.

If you think UPS is bad, try taking a tour of a USPS BMC (Bulk Mail Center). They get so much badly put together crap coming thru the system I'm amazed it ever gets delivered. It's sad to see all the Christmas presents falling apart because someone thought a piece of brown paper would hold it all together.

from oregon to washington take 3 hour max driving. it's been 17 hours since it left oregon. that's just pathetic. i was planning on picking it up today if the pick up center is open but i guess not since it's still in the ****ing train.
