Guys,

When Jory sent me the pics in an email, I was literally speechless. I've always had good experiences with USPS. I've shipped four grills, two grill support panels, two fenders, and some other odds and ends sheetmetal and never had a problem like this. I've also shipped countless small packages and only had one small problem with a $3 piece broken.

I did have them mark the package fragile, but only because I was concerned about the headlights being broken (they were working). Turns out they were the only thing to survive, lol. I also got insurance. I insured it for $50 because that was the declared customs value. You can't insure it for more than the declared value. I would've insured it for more, but I've canucks ask me to declare as little as possible in the past to avoid heavy charges on their end.

I'm going Monday to find out what can be done, but I can see USPS blaming Canada and Canada blaming USPS. I really hate this happened, it's not like these grills are growing on trees.


And Jory, there's a couple of good yards around here. I'll see what I can dig up for you around here. Let this be a lesson to the rest of you (me included). Never underestimate the importance of insurance or overestimate how well your packages will be treated by the gorillas in the back room.
