I am so Mad!!!!
 

I go to my mailbox and was excited to see a package from Mike in there, my last piece I need to get my Emaxx up and running, and the freakin' box was empty!! One of the tabs came undone from the box, it was open and stamped all over "RECEIVED WITHOUT CONTENTS". WTF?!?!? Where's my motor? Wouldn't the post office find it in one of the shipping bins?? Why'd they even bother to deliver like this? Just to toy with me?

I've just about had it with trying to get a decent motor/esc combo for my Emaxx. First I made the mistake of buying a 6XL/9920 from someone else, frying the 9920 and ordering a 16016 from Mike, later to realize I needed a 7XL to make it more reliable, and then the 7XL gets lost somewhere. This has been a very expensive frustrating learning experience. Maybe it's time to go back to 1:1 scale (real cars)-- this isn't turning out to be any cheaper!!!:mad:

Wow, that is sad. I've felt like that sometimes. Good luck with 1:1 cars! there great too! This hobby aint for everyone.

Yikes, Jonathan! I can't believe they bothered to deliver an empty box! E-mail me and we will work this out.

Mike will take care of ya!! PS. YGPM

Canada Post lost one of my 40.160Ks..... after 3 months of phone calls.. They finally gave me the money back..... I had to wait one month before I can say it was lost....

but atleast I got my money back....
and when the first Novak SS5800 came out... the shaft came slid off the magnet.. So I sent it back to novak.. and of course.. they fixed it and shipped it to me... they said that they left in behind the front door.. but nothing was there.. so I waited a week or two..and called them.. they said that it was delivered.... I said WTF?... but.. they sent me a brand new one.. and this time.. they wanted a signature.. I don't blame them...

Today I received a package from RobotCombat, and it was F*cking opened... I'm checking the mailbox everyday waitin' for the basic 2400 and 7xl to arrive....

I think I've seen more of the mailbox than my G/F.. haha j/k

I wonder some times if the mail people don't rob you. Not to say the crooks but then again they do work for the government.

I like to hope they are above this, but if a box is opened and it has something they want, I can't help but wonder if this determines whether or not the package is lost! I will buy more tape for future order for sure!

When I ship something out.. I tape the CR*P out of it with Duct tape.. :)

u know what you should do! put "GAY PORNO" on the box! no1 will wanna steal it!

You never know LOL!!

I live in New Zealand and i've never recieved an open package. But the first thing i ever ordered was a revo and this was when they first came out, i waited about a month and a half because it was back ordered on towerhobbies, then after 30 days i emailed towerhobbies cause i still hadnt recieved it, they said to wait for 45 days so after that they gave my money back cause it was lost in the mail lol!! that sucked!!

and another package i got recently from towerhobbies was sent to sweden by mistake lol.

I never had any problems with Mikes packages, and the swiss post and customs have some picky fools. Mike always did a very good packing job, and the custom papers were well done.
Knock on wood, though, but none of my RC stuff ever got lost, or damaged. Even though the swiss post workers seem to play soccer with the packages sometimes.

Sorry to hear, standard.

You're just asking for trouble with that one, I'd probably be dragging it inside just as my mom would walk by......no more rc for me if that happened! :D

LMAO at Dabids comments!

Yeah, I have to wonder if it's deliberate theft sometimes too. The box wasn't crushed at all, it kinda looked carefully opened. The marked "recieved without contents" just seemed mean leaving it in my box like that, and of course no mention of that tidbit in the online tracking info. And good luck getting thru to them on the phone. Sometimes my magazine subscriptions mysteriously skip a month here and there as well. Hmmm...

Anyway, Mike emailed me and is going to help me out with this one - -I am so happy do be dealing with someone like Mike, he really is a stand up guy and is going to get all my business. I can't recommend his store enough -- best experience!!

Thanks so much Mike! For the great service and this great site!!:D
--Jonathan

that's right.. you never know about some of these people....

If I worked at the Post office in Canada.. I would take it too... especially if I see a package coming from RC-Monster.. :)

last year.. I think there was $6 million worth of lost package at Canada Post.... they were all unaccounted for.... damn.. taht's a lot of ESC's, Motors, and batteries you could buy.. or Steal... :)

oh, this reminds me of something. I gotta quote a friend:

"40 lashes with a wet noodle and shot at sunrise" is what all those mail thiefes deserve.


Guys, I don't mind you stealing tower boxes. But please leave RC-Monster packages alone!

This sucks!!!

Did you bought it with Visa or another CC?

Ncabz, i think our mailman is more interested in those packages than in RC electronics.. He delivers mail holding a pink handbag and a leather pants.. That's what got me thinking.. I lost a rather big order of batteries though... (no crap it really happened) Austin from Maxamps covered me great though..

The tape is only good for a honest person. They want in it they going to get it. I think it is wrong. I not saying that all of it on purpose but some of it is fishy. My brother had a package that said delivered and it showed up 2 weeks later. It was from mike. Nothing but a motor clamp.

well said Dafni...

hahaaha.. taht's funny Serum.. :)

We don't have any problems like this in the UK. And we certainly dont have postmen holding pink handbags and wearing leather pants. :L:

It's not that i'm proud of it...

He he he.....:L:

Would be a pity when the sun rises before they got whipped though..

Um, "pity", but nevermind. I was quoting that because I'm pretty sure I'm the one he heard it from, used to say it all the time!

well, sorry again dabid...
I will type in dutch if you prefer that?I understood bytheway why you quoted it.

I may be Dutch, but don't know any of it, so I'll just keep nitpicking your posts from this side of the pond because you can't do anything about it. ;)

That does stink. Luckly here we aint got many mail theifs. Signature might be real usefull for expensive items to gaurentee they are delivered.

Je hebt gelijk jongen.. Erg fatsoenlijk vind ik het niet, maar goed. Als dat is wat je wilt, spelen we het spelletje gewoon op jouw manier. en geef ik jou gewoon voor de volle honderd procent gelijk. Ik weet trouwens niet wat je punt is, maar dit is de tweede keer dat je me op een taalfout wil pakken. knap dat je ze er zo feilloos uit weet te filteren. respect hoor..


I thought this forum was about respect, but it might have had a change of politics?

thats not DUTCH! tahts random jiberisH! THIS IS DUTCH ke fieoh ehaiso adkobh eiroth katzh dei ekari shruddle kipen shieskopf ehil

Cant do anythign about it? Lol!! hes a MOD!!! Ps, were all joking here. But if ur really offended, i'll take it down a few notches.

And as usual, Ncabz makes me laugh... Thanks NBcaz..

I'm affraid it's Dutch though..

Easy boys, or I'll visit you with some deans wire! Okay!?

Rene, I actually understood every second word or so of your dutch post.

And, yes, it is all about Respect here.

Yeah, it all are Germanic languages... With some intelligence it's not too hard to understand.. Thanks Daniel..

I was thinking about getting an english staff to make my posts more understanding, and to keep dabit happy..

Its good to know i benifit society somehow!

:D

....I love the way we always stray off the topics......:rolleyes:

we don't even do it on purpose..

i think its cuz of me. Im a bad influence

A forum would be a boring, near useless place if it stayed on topic :)

That said, I've never had a parcel go missing, or opened, so far. The guy that delivers for the courier I normally use "Parcelforce" knows full well every big box I recieve is an RC car, espically when it says US $20 on the customs, no prob yet touch wood. Worst I've had is one stuck in customs for a few days.

actually talkin' about mail.... Last year some guy in my area shipped out 2 side by side packs of GP3300's... and it blew at the post office.... hahah. cops went to the guys house, and asked him if he was expecting a package... the receiver was sh*t scared.... This actually happened... but I'm not sure if it was Purolator or Canadapost...
