Nah, not going to make money off of the G. I priced it for a quick sale, and to break even. My iForged come in tomorrow, I hope. I checked UPS and all wheels are in different cities taking different routes; as of 6:40PM, one is in Anaheim, one is in West Sacramento, one is in Sunnyvale, and one in Oakland.

WTF

I was too lazy, and I accidentally paid for shipping ahead of time so I said fuggit!

They all arrived/left Anaheim at the same time on the same day- that's why it's so confusing. Oh well, UPS still shows them all coming on time.

that's UPS for you. I can't stand them and would not ship a box of nuts and bolts with them for fear of damage. I don't want to scare you bro, but I would suggest you inspect them before you sign for them. Check for flat spots on the lips, and save all the boxes in case something comes up later during installation and balancing. If the boxes are crushed anywhere, sign the delivery "BOXES DAMAGED" Those fvkcers bent three of my wheels last year. BTW, same thing happened to me...2 wheels showed up one day and the others 3 days later. Sorry for the rant.

Fvck, you're scaring me. iForged ships all their wheels through UPS, and I haven't heard any complaints about wheels being damaged. I just can't for the life of me figure out why four different wheels that left the same place at the same time have taken four different routes. They all show an expected delivery of 2/13 though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

sorry buddy...I just don't want you to go through what I went through with them. When I got the wheels they looked fine. But I waited a month after I got them to install them, and that's when I found out they were bent. I was lucky the vendor I bought them from, took them back and settled my claim quickly.

Mine all came in good shape. They all came at the same time, together and on one tracking number.

The boxes where re-inforced with two layers of cardboard on top and one on the bottom. The face of the wheel had the double cardboard on it.

Hopefully nothing comes of it but better to check right away than wait. Especially with what Chico went through.

good stuff Chris. Your wheels were better packaged than mine for sure. I'm sure Boris' will be fine, but I just get paranoid when I see UPS handling wheels.

Somehow, all the wheels found their way over to the UPS facility in South San Francisco. Now I can only hope that all four of them will arrive today unharmed.
