maybe he should just get different cars

He tried stock class, he didn't like it. So do I, I really don't like stock class, but I run it since I have too.

I think that’s more of an issue of where your item was put on the slowest possible boat from japan and sent to new jersey I wouldn’t blame usps for it who knows how long it sat in a container

usps has been delivering everything a day early for me lately and ups is the one having delays

Five items were shipped out on the same day in the same container. Three were delivered over a month ago, so yes, it is their fault. From personal experience, it is crazy to me that a car can be shipped here from Japan faster than a package using the same method.

ah okay, what is it you don’t like about it?

oh okay well then yeah in that case it’s their fault but it’s more so it got stuck and fell off the conveyor I watched a really good video series that went in depth about mail and stuff I can find and share if you want to watch

I had an item from China take 4 months.

 

[DavidB1126]

Well from my experience, I haven't ran in a full "stock" class because at my local indoor dirt track, lots of people run a mix of stock and mod in the same class and usually the mod guys beat the stock guys. And in stock classes, it takes a bunch of money to get to the top, while with mod you can put in a faster motor or adjust your timing and be done with it.

My uncle doesn't like any dirt, he is a strictly carpet guy. I was the same at first but was basically forced to do indoor dirt since that is the nearest track to me when the local carpet tracks had to close up.

And it fell off into what? a pit that took almost 2 extra months of searching to find it?

Its china that is to be expected.

I have super glue stuck to my finger from glueing tires last night it feels so weird lmao

I have to sand it off as much as possible.

seems like most sorting facilities have nets or other pits that they don’t check very often

give this playlist a watch it’s very interesting I think

BSI sells something called un-cure works pretty well at removing superglue if you ever accidentally touch something important with superglue

paytonimusrex: Yep, I saw DHL and my blood pressure immediately went up. I haven’t used those guys since they lost the key to my Honda Beat, and it sat at the port accumulating daily charges for going over the time limit to pick it up.​

4-6wks, yes! 4mo, no!

no, when I order from China I expect 3 months or more!

 

[Xraycer]

I've ordered stuff from over there for the past 20 years, and nothing has taken longer than 6 weeks. Usually, get in 4wk.
Matter of fact, just received 2 balisong knives. Purchased on 8/29, received 10/3.

Congrats do you want a reward? my stuff has taken multiple months from China

Unless it says SpeedPak. They take 2 weeks.

Unlike you, I'm not trying to be argumentative, just stating my experiences.

What are you talking about, dude? You came to argue. You quoted me and said I was wrong, but that has been my experience ordering from China.

I implied that 4mo was not the norm.

 

[Speed Chaser]

If you say so

 

[332_RC]

I implied that 4mo was not the norm.

Luckily- the item I ordered that took 4 months was a 6v , 5.5rpm electric mini motor for a motorized Lego project I'm planning & the wait wasn't a big deal.

 

[WickedFog]

I have ordered from China a number of times, and it's never taken more than about 6 weeks. A lot of times I get it within 2 weeks.
