The nightmare called UPS

So we arrived in Connecticut and started checking the UPS website for tracking our bikes. Derek's was scanned in Tucson and made it to Connecticut. The story takes a dark turn here as you can see from the post below this one. Derek's bike got in, we opened the box, and I heard things coming from the other room that I don't think any one needs me to repeat, and you probably can imagine. His fork is f'd up!!! We have been dealing with UPS now for three days trying to get someone to inspect the bike to see that it is broke so we can get the insurance money on it.

Now my bike, its a whole different story. I am not sure how they managed to loose a box that big but they did. Gone... gone like my paycheck is every week. UPS won't even begin to think about paying out the insurance on it till next week.

I can't even begin to figure out the odds at having things go wrong with shipping one bike, but both having issues, gimme a break. We will never use UPS ever again.

Now all we do is sit, looking at the pieces of Derek's bike crying inside.....since that is all we have left to look at.
