Aggravation

[Bigwolf]

Into everyones life comes a little aggravation.  Some people really do that for me.
 I have a friend’s Valk apart waiting for new pinion cup and shaft getting ready for Inzane.  Parts come UPS via US post office and were delivered to the post office 200 yards from my house in the wee hours of Saturday morning.  Then the mailman marks the package undeliverable as addressed even though he had other mail with the same address which he did deliver that day.  By the time I checked the tracking and saw what happened, had to wait till Monday to  run to the post office trying to catch it, the package was already out of town and a couple hundred miles away heading back to parts company.

That is the first aggravation in last 10 days.

When I could not get the package back, I called Ziegler Motorsports in Kalimazoo, MI (Honda Parts Nation) and asked if they would immediately send a new package since the original was on it’s way back to them through no fault of theirs or mine.  I asked that this time they use fedex since I never have any trouble with fedex.  The guy said sure and later emailed a copy of the new invoice to me.  Today I am wondering where the parts are (it’s  been 8 days since I got the last invoice).  Called for a tracking number and the gal I spoke to emailed a copy of the latest invoice to me.  This invoice has a fedex tracking number but also yet another transaction number on it.  So now I have the third invoice from them and still no parts.  Apparently they waited until the first package returned to them and was checked in then relabeled it and sent it by fedex.  The first invoice I received by email was just a fake to keep me quiet for a while.

So I first ordered the parts on May 12, reordered on May 22, now it is May 30 and still no parts.  The latest invoice was created on May 26.

Yes, I am feeling more than just a little aggravation.  Lazy butt US mail carrier sent package back just so he would not have to get out of his truck.    Guy at Parts Nation lied about sending new package. 

Hope you folks are suffering from much less aggravation.  See you at Inzane.

I had a similar experience with Parts nation.

Yup, I feel your pain.Its pure BUll when people can be so friggin stupid an cause so much pain. I support the Postal Service 100% but I have seen your pain once when I sent something to a business  place in a village of guessing about less than 200 people. The place was almost directly across the street from the Post office that was in a trailer. The dumb bass carrier could of come out the door, tripped, and the package still would of landed at the door. The name of the business place was on the package and the package made it to the village but something minor was left off the package or missing and the damn carrier sent it back.  I was madder than hell because I worked for the Postal Service and this carrier very easily should of delivered the package. 
 Now that you have your parts just remember to not rush your project so fast that you'll goof, relax.

our local one horse town post office is a joke for sure.  Who gets a 2 1/2 hour lunch break since they are not open for business from say 12 to 2:30 p.m. daily?  With all bills nowadays being paid electronically,  95% of all letters we get are JUNK mail which is what is keeping the post office in business.  50 cents or whatever it is now for a fricking postage stamp is stupid crazy.

My neighbor asked why I leave my can on the street all week.

So I can throw all the junk mail out after carrying it only two feet.
