Default UPS delivered package to wrong house!

Ordered my Thunder-max last week and it was finally going to be here today. Sitting around cleaning up shop through out the day check the tracking number and it says sitting on the front porch. I think to myself, wonder how he snuck by me...I go and look nothing sitting there. Start to freak out a little I mean where the hell is this $900 part at. Then I remembered theres a house with same address but instead of "way" its "street", go drive by and see a pkg sitting there...low and behold its mine.

Such a stupid mistake to drop at wrong addy, but it worked out in the end and now I have something to do tonight.

Last year we had UPS deliver a package to a house we moved out of in 1993 that is 40 miles away west in the next county..........................that was after they delivered it to the house we moved out of in 2007 that is 35 miles south. The package had our current address on it.
Overall we've had good luck, but sometimes they just get it wrong.

Good thing you went and checked! Nothing worse than waiting with baited breath for a package and then it doesn't show up. Post up pics after you Git 'er done!

ive had that happen 1 time. UPS delivered a box of ironhead parts to a house the next block over where the address was nowhere close to mine. the lady was nice enough to walk it over on a saturday morning. the box was trashed and i was surprised all the contents were there. some of those drivers are just lazy morons.....

I've had that happen too, but it was a $14 can of spray paint.
Congrats on the T-max purchase, by the way.

I am not a UPS fan either. I will not use that company for any reason. I prefer USPS and FedEx Home.

I was waiting and waiting for my new ATV tires. Finaly checked and seen they were already delivered! Come to find out they were down the road at a neighboors who was not going to say a word to me about them. He drove by my house everyday and knew those tires were mine. When me and the UPS Driver showed up two weeks later he just acted like he thought he ordered them some time ago. Only thing was he does not own a ATV. What comes around goes around.Glad you got you Thunderheader!
