Angry The freakin' train derailed w/ my wheels on it!

So I have been tracking my new Nismo LMGT4 wheels through UPS's website. They were suppost to be delivered today so I checked to make sure they were not delayed & low & behold there was a message that the train derailed about 100 miles from my house in Maumee, Ohio.

I called UPS to find out what the heck was going on & they had no info (shocking!). They said to contact the shipper.

I called the shipper & they knew nothing about this. There shouldn't be any problem though, they said they would send me out another set if they are damaged in any way.

This $hit can only happen to me. I was hoping to get these bad boys mounted & balanced this weekend, but I guess that is out the window.

Thanks for listening to me vent.

Could you??? J/K
I'm just hoping they are not damaged, I don't feel like waiting another week for new ones to ship out.

H3LL NO!!! I don't think the train crashed, just a couple of cars came off the track.

Well, the front 2 wheels arrived yesterday. The 2 rears are still in Maumee I suppose. The only problem now is the lip on one of the fronts is all scraped up, kind of looks like a curb rub. Ugghhhhhhhh. Now I'm going to have to send that one back & wait to receive another one. What a nightmare.

They are standard UPS excuses. Did you pay for guaranteed delivery?

I don't believe so, never even knew it existed.
I guess they'll get here when they get here.
