TradGang ALERT!!!! MISSING PACKAGE...update pg. 5, good news!
« on: December 31, 2012, 10:15:00 AM »
Just in case anyone notices anything.....

I bought a brand new 150 quart cooler as my other two coolers finally gave up the ghost.  

This cooler wasn't for ice....but my hunting gear.

It was packed with arrows, knives, Wenzel flash lights, and my normal hunting cloths....merino wool thermals, and Grey Wolf wool pull over,
Gray Wolf wool Pants, my cold weather boots, broadheads, Classic Bowman wool ****, Two Tracks wool vest, wool socks, Custom hat made by Curt and Cade, custom TG arm guard, and Danny Rowan's brothers broadhead. ...and lots of memories.

The cooler was duck taped and strapped both, and the UPS label was taped over so it wouldn't come off, had my name and cell number written on it in EIGHT places....was loaded on the truck here at my plant, and was never scanned at the Dalton terminal 16 miles up the road.

IT IS LOST!!!!!! Yep, lost between here and the terminal...

Least that's what UPS is manager is telling me.....And, I have a business account with them and know a lot of them up there.

How do you lose a 150 quart cooler half the size of a casket???....how come no one called the number written all over the cooler???

Me thinks somebody stole it.

************

That was friday....and no word this AM like UPS told me it should be scanned.  So, after talking to one of my friends at the terminal, it looks like my cooler was indeed stolen. That's even UPS gut feeling.

So, if anyone sees a cooler such as this with black writings....or anyone toting or pawning any of the contents, please let me know.

Thanks.....I gotta get busy trying to gather up enough stuff to get me through the hunt.  Don't have 'back up' wool clothing....and word is its gonna be in the 20s while I'm there....

Anyhow, maybe the thief needs it worse than me.

Drivers responsibility. probably meth heads. hope you get it back. check the roadway(on the sides) you never know. I would ask them what the stops were from your plant to the station and check the route myself. 16 miles is not that far.

I hope you find the contents, Terry.  I had a package lost by UPS some time ago and it re-appeared about two weeks later after filing a 'lost package' ticket.

It would be nice if we could plant some sort of G.P.S. Beacon on our stuff while it's being shipped and see what Rat stole it or misplaced it...Then we could track that person down and    :deadhorse:   out of him/her/it  :D

Man, I'm sorry for your misfortune Terry.  I do hope it turns up.  But, like you, I find it hard to believe someone could just "misplace" a 150 qt. cooler!

I had a buddy this season load his truck with ALL his hunting gear to come down to hunting camp... the night before the season opener. He ran into the house to do a final "walk through" to make sure he hadn't left anything and when he returned, everything was stolen!  I couldn't imagine how he felt.

Terry i am a driver at UPS and i will spell the "honest" beans for ya. YES it should have been scanned the minute it was put on the truck, does that allways happen??? NO it does not, that is the truth. this time of year is CRAZY for us and that is NO excuse. my guess is it is setting at the UPS building, it didn't get scanned and you will have NO info at all UNTIL it gets scanned which it will eventually. sadly it happens OFTEN, thats just the honest truth for you. if i can be of any service to you please let me know, i can tell ya the steps it takes to get answers. good luck.

How about a money order sent registered to a fellow TGer that just "disappears" once it lands in the US? That makes 2 in the last year. An envelope I can see, a cooler might be tougher to see go missing. Postal lady is absolutely NO help either. Don't mean to hijack but it is similiar and you are not the only one getting shafted.
