Technically... No. But they are supposedly covering the cost of the second time he bought his engine. He's working on recovering the cost of initial shipping from New Zealand.

I feel bad for the guy. Glad he finally got his engine although he had to purchase it twice. I've thought about if it werent for Rob being fairly wealthy, he may not have been able to drop the 6500 a second time to get his engine back...

This is going to be/has become a PR nightmare for UPS. what a sleazebag company to flat out steal from customers and try and sell their stuff without thinking they'd get caught.

agreed, but even knowing this i'd still choose them over fed ex. they simply suck at life. i hate using them. but unfortunately there is no good option to use. usps sucks. fed ex sucks. and now ups sucks..

Wow what a mess. A friend of mine had a $25k race motor built and shipped ups last year. And they lost it. No idea where it went told him to make a insurance claim. It was shipped from the engine builder in Texas to Michigan. Tracking showed it all the way to a sort facility in Michigan and then never seen again. He felt I could me a inside job from ups so he called back and asked for a written statement by ups explaining there side. Then told them he had a LoJack device installed in the crate bc it was so expensive and didn't want any issues. He woke up the next morning and the crate was in his driveway. No expectations or sign of them dropping it off. Magically showed up.

Wow. Someone thought they were in trouble.

I would suspect that a crate engine would be an easy target. Performance Engine Building Company XYZ as the shipper with overweight oversize container. Container "gets damaged" during shipping and has to be "inspected" so the workers can open it up and see exactly what is inside of it. Then you know a guy who has a truck and know security, so on and so forth. Boom missing engine
