You can mail crankshafts and flywheels through the post office. |

What gets my goat is the online retailers that will not use the post office for shipping.
And UPS is almost twice as much, and only half as fast.
I needed to ship a bumper to Japan. UPS wanted $230 for ground shipping.
Post office shipped it for $93, and the buyer had it in less than 6 days.
I ordered a generator from one of the BIG online retailers last Saturday. It was not shipped until last night. And then it was by UPS ground. Cost me $27 shipping. I will not get it for over a week, making it 2 weeks total.
Postal flat rate box would have been about $11.00 and I would have had it in 2 days. |

They have traced them for me.
The bumper I shipped to Japan, I knew when it hit Japanese customs. They just don't supply a step by step tracking like UPS.
If you pay for delivery confirmation, they can track it. |

For example, New front end installed and aligned then, on the way home, my speedometer stops working. Then I get home and park then, the EM Brake cable snaps. GRRRRR..... :evil:
All on a Car that, "Needs Nothing". (famous last words from the P.O.)
Don't get me wrong, I love my Thing but, DAMMIT. :wink:
Stupid P.O.
The lying' bastad shoulda known that the speedometer and the e-brake cable were about to break.
"Needs nothing" + Unrestored = Needs everything
I looked it over and knew this little detail and so I knew what needed to be done first in sequence. It's just some of the little things break at the worst time. I see the P.O. all the time and we talk about my "LIST". He probably thinks I'm crazy. Why fix some stuff that "Ain't even broke yet". :lol: |

I always think of the "E. Buzz Miller's Art Classics" skit on SNL with Dan Aykroyd, where he's talking about Titian, but pronounces it "titty-an." |
