LMAO, that was my first thought as well.


On a side note: Sorry to hear that, hopefully they will find it soon.

They normally don't loose transmissions they steal them. They did that to us and we have about 15 claims with them. UPS and fedex are no better.

I bought a transmission from a member on this site as well...DHL "misplaced it" for two months before it finally showed up. I don't know how the hell you "misplace" a 100lb transmission...but after multiple phone calls and *** chewing they finally got it shipped to my door. I will never trust shipping large items like that without making sure the seller or I have good insurance on the item to cover idiots...I feel your pain bro

UPS "lost" a set of AFR heads on their way to me a few years back lol.

Of course, it didn't help that the sponsor I bought them from shipped them in a damn AFR cylinder heads box.

I sent my oil pump, Cam and timing chain to Texas speed to put in my short block. When the box arrived at TSP the Camshaft had been stolen out of the box and replaced with a Christian bracelet with crosses on it. That was through USPS and it took 2 months for the insurance claim to go through.
