So, I bought an Engine Cover from a guy in NY back on March 2nd. Yesterday, I shoot him a message asking where this thing is and he says it's been delivered. He sends me the tracking number and I look it up through FedEx and sure enough, it says it was delivered. Weird, cause I know I didn't get it.
So I call FedEx and explain the situation and they say it was delivered to a different house (they delivered to 334 and I live at 344).

So, I go to the house today to ask if they had received said package and sure enough, he had it in his garage. THIS GUY HAD THE PACKAGE IN HIS GARAGE FOR A WEEK! Why, if it's not addressed to you, do you not do a "return to sender" or take it to a local FexEx store or something. Heck, look in a phone book and see if maybe this person lives down the street from you. How long were you going to hold on to it? Thanks Jacka**. I appreciate you holding on to my mail for me.
 


that is kinda wierd he held onto it for so long, without even making an attempt to deliver it or get it straightened out.
 


No, he didn't open it. Good thing it was just an engine cover and not a blow up doll or something.
 
You know where he lives. Calm down! I hope that in a month or so, the air is still in his tires.;)
jk

Blow-up doll:th_biggrin2:
 


the reason he kept it was he's too lazy to do the right thing, my mother in law does that constantly, I find stuff for other people that is almost a year old sometimes drives me nuts
 
I mean, what if I hadn't gone knocking. I would have posted misinformation about a good seller who did ship quickly and answered all questions. Unfortunately he did write my address wrong on the box twice, he wrote 334 huge on the box and then wrote 3334 on the packing slip (I live at 344). It's a simple mistake which is forgivable in my eyes. People make mistakes, everyone does. However, this guy not returning to sender could have made things a big mess.
 


Reminds me when ZZP mailed a set of TOG exhaust header donuts to a local here, and they for some reason mailed to his old address. Took some tracking down to even figure out what happened.

So he goes over and tries to get a hold of them, and they are never home, so he asks the neighbor next door that was there he knew well from when he lived there, and she said she would ask, and made the comment, that she did see a delivery truck there a few days ago.

A week or so goes by and the neighbor asked them, nothing.

So she called my friend, and said they are home, so he grabbed me and we went over there, and the black guy who's house received the package denied it that it was ever there...then later, as we talked more, he said his wife took it to the post office. We were like what? It either said UPS or FedEx on it what would you take it to the Post office. We said what ever, and told him what was in it, and he couldn't use them anyway...so they didn't cost much so no big deal what ever ya know.

So my friend is contacting ZZP about it, and they are working with the shipper to try to get them back from where ever they hell they are.

A few days gos by, and his old neighbor calls him, and says she has his box in her house now. It was left on her door step...opened..., and the donuts were still in it at least.

I guess his wife didn't do anything with them...and the guy we talked to was just a lier, and a semi-thief. I think he gave up the goods finally cause UPS or FedEx realized their goof, and was putting the pressure on him, and he realized he couldn't pawn them for any money once he opened the box and realized they didn't have any value to him.

I'm glad I know my neighbors where I live. If I leave and go out of town for a few days, they will pick up my mail, and packages and hold on to them for me till I get home.

Big error I get is I live on a street named Davis, My 1st name is David. So somehow people shipping to me send it to David Lane. I am always thinking WTF? How do you take someone's first name and swap it with a street name when transposing the shipping info on a pacage? This has happened so many times both the fed ex and UPS guy knows ehere to bring it.
