Default PISSED!!

So i messed up my turbo about a month ago, ordered all the parts to rebuild it and sent it to Rons turbo shop in utah to get balanced and guess what it all got lost in the mail! ughhh fml. i just got in college and do not have any money to get another one so im stuck driving my mustang unless it magically appears. but with my luck i dont see that happening. anyone happen to have one laying around?

did you not insure the package? if you did you would get your money back... plus they would be able to track it....

or did you use that fly by night company?

Sucks... Keep your eyes out. Any junk yards near you, might wanna check those out.

The couple bucks for insurance doesn't seem so bad now huh?

My wife works at the post office, she would castrate me if I sent out my high $ items (chip, turbo, injectors, ect.) without, at LEAST, Insurance and Delivery Confirmation. She read the thread and said it may be a few dollars more, but it saves alot of stress.
