That's bizarre. Maybe their customer service folks in Moncton can do something for you.

the next time UPS updates will be when your packages get to windsor.

it will most likely be on the truck to windsor oct 22nd morning and be at windsor on the 24th.

of course, that will be late for the meet.

when i order stuff from CA, the last few stops will be Maumee, OH; Windsor, ON; Concord, ON; then to your doorstep. it takes usually 3 - 4 days to go from Maumee, OH to my doorstep.

UPS FTL.

Remember, that's what happened to my front lip spoiler from California. It got within 50 miles of my house then they decided to send it on another 1000 mile cruise
Hope it gets to you intact.

That is a bummer though Ian (I almost stopped at your place around 4:30 today on my way to Peterborough) I just arrived here. A nice wet, long drive.

The box never hit Windsor - that's just where the customs clearance paperwork was processed in advance of landing. Give it a couple days.

In my prior existence, I spent many days tracking packages for work to support my purchasing duties. Bleagh!

...did a little investigation.
There are a few web discussions on this topic

Hodkins, IN is bogus there is no UPS service there.(try finding it on Google maps)
It's a fictitious place that they plug in to buy themselves time when the screw up or they know they're running late.

...crazy huh

lol..tell me about it, it's all to buy them time because they're running late.

update;


lHow in hell does it go from hodgkins > Maumee > Windsor > Concord
all in 29 hours!!!!!!!

The other thing they did is, twice they removed Scheduled Delivery Date: from the tracking.
It just magically back in this afternoon... due on the 23rd


..the upshot is; it's only 2 days late, but I should see it tomorrow.

What a joke UPS is
