What bike are you on this year? I just had carpal tunnel surgery a week and a half ago, and it’s cold as hell here in Wisconsin, and I have a couple sets of suspension just sitting here. If I can get a friend to come over and help remove a shock, I’d be willing to let you use a set of Cone Valves and a Trax shock. If you’re on a Jap bike, I can’t help with that! You’d have to have the stuff set up for you, as I’m just a slow fat vet rider.

Hey Justin, a couple months ago UPS lost track of RV's MXdN gear and some of his helmets that were shipped to me. I couldn't get anything done at the local level so I emailed the president, CEO, and a board member. Someone high up immediately got on it and they found the gear. Send an email to ctome@ups.com, ncesarone@ups.com, and dabney@ups.com explaining what happened and your tracking info. They will have someone call you and track it down. The local level can't do much, got to go top down to get it in time.

Hey guys!

To help with the situation, yes the suspension was insured. I do not ship 7k suspension without insuring it!

As of now, we have opened an investigation (claim) on the shipment but that alone could take weeks / months until they finally declare it completely missing.. and then another 90-120 days to hopefully be compensated. From my understanding, my label was found, but on a different box in Miami when last scan of my label was in Jacksonville.

I did not have buying a set of suspension part of my budget for 2022 and it’s simply not there, that’s the reason we have reached out for some help!!

Of course, we are doing what we can to give back to people that help and I plan to do even more if I can!

If you can help, thank you so much, if you can share this to someone who possibly could, thank you so much!

It’s a shitty situation, and I’m doing my best to try to resolve the issue I have been dealt with. I am sorry if reaching for some help has rubbed people the wrong way, I’m just in need of some help and you never know until you ask.

Thank you guys.
Justin I work for Bmw.

The labor market is changed, decimated, evolving and doesn’t know what to do. I’m in Illinois but the Rdc parts fulfillment centers we use is outside Chicago proper to supply a few states. If a part can’t come from Minooka they route out of Jacksonville and believe it or not California.

Dealerships using the old just in time inventory models are fucked. FedEx is fucked up. The Bmw RDC centers
Are fucked up.

Stock orders are previously decided as just in time, these are pre-decided
By parts they use most and or suggested stock items.

Currently and updated daily is Minooka is pulling stock orders for over a month ago. Dealers can’t even get a fucking air filter, a oil change filter to change your oil.

So that is daily stock order sitch consisting of shipments they are to receive on reg basis.

One more choice dealers have is to VOR : basically pay freight and receive next day. Well they aren’t arriving next day, lost, thrown in a ditch or piled up behind.

Next prob: average dealer needs let’s say 50 parts VOR Ed daily.

They’re orders are still delayed and then they were told only 20 VOR ordered parts per day. If you order 20 and need 50? Next day you can only order the 20 and order 20 of the 50 you needed yesterday. Then your third order day is zero because you could only order 40 in the 2 days out of 100.

Anyway short story long: things are really fucked up, no one cares, no one knows how to solve and people are fucked up.

Tomorrow you may not even be able to change your oil.

Insure things always as you did. I sure double coverage and they might loose it and you get lucky when the lose it like 20,000 instead of 7k

And moral of my long story order way early and Insure as you did.

I’m stunned that people don’t know how fucked up it really really is out there.

I was going to ship my suspension in a gun case and ups told me that if for any reason the barcode becomes messed up, that for gun cases instead of printing a new one they destroy they case and whatever is in it for fear it’s a gun. So it’s possible the barcode got messed up and they just destroyed it.
No. Always good to put a “no guns inside” note on it anyways though.
