What can Brown do for you?

Apparently... steal your exhaust!

We are still receiving exhaust systems here at the office for the FJ exhaust shoot-out.

When a system from Vibrant Performance didn't arrive we contacted Vibrant. Upon their call to UPS it seems the box arrived in our city... but was empty.

Looks like someone at UPS knew what it was and swiped it! So, be on the lookout for a focus-driving UPS employee rockin' a shiny new Vibrant exhaust.

The nice folks at Vibrant are going to ship us out a new one today.

Ahh UPS, I've had a love hate relationship with them for years. Back in the day when I had my Merkur I used them to ship me a Kevlar RS500 bumper. It was supposed to take 3 days to arrive. Somewhere over the Atlantic it disappeared. It was scanned as loaded on to the plane, but was never scanned as reaching Toronto. How do you misplace a 6ft tall box? They paid me the money and I got another sent over but it was still a pain. Funny thing is that I tracked it two months later and a new tracking scan had been added in Cyprus.

Vibrant not far away from me so I can shake down the driver if it happens again.

Yeah, haven't you seen the new UPS NASCAR commercial with Dale Jarrett being told "We want to race the ZX3. People love the ZX3"

That is why I can't stand UPS. I had something that was delivered to me from FC via UPS and the idiot leaves the package on my front porch, no big deal, but damn it How DARE UPS leave my credit card slip still attached to the package for someone to steal. Good thing no one did steal this as I would have been HIGHLY Pissed off.

Visit USPS people, that's why it's there, for when Brown begins to suck.

Uhh -- How did UPS get your CC number in the first place? That's on FC. We don't ship credit card numbers in or on our packages. If your number was on the OUTSIDE of the box, someone's no doubt got it already. I'd at least check out the card's policy on stolen numbers.

UPS does a good job for us. It's annoying that you can't correct a doomed package until delivery has been attempted and that it takes 8 days to resolve a claim, but other than that, big

to UPS. They are relatively easy to work with and rent out thermal label printers for $2/week and free labels. Can't tell you how many impromptu t-shirts we'ver had around the office!

UPS is my friend!!!!

You know what shocked me about UPS? I got ChrisF's TCE brake kit, and was going to ship it up to him. But UPS in Canada would not let me insure the package! They said that you can't insure a package unless you are a business, or the package is a gift. But if you are just sending something to a friend, tough luck, they want you to hand it over to them, and if they lose it? Ooops, oh well, sorry.

I couldn't believe it.

It's happened twice now, where they've left my packages on the truck. We have regular deliveries every day out our office, 1pm on the button, every day.

I always track my packages. Twice now, it goes "Out for delivery" and they leave it on the truck when they drop off everythign else. You can watch it, still on the truck till late at night, then they take it off, and put it back on the next morning.

I also love it when they miss the delivery date, and still show the old ETA even though the date alrady passed....

What can Brown do for you?
