(2) 727-904 Transmissions LOST at R&L Carriers

[John Duzac]

Sorry to hear of your loss. I thing one of the biggest problems anyone can make is for the public to see high dollar parts being shipped all over the country. I have shipped my engines many times without any problems. Shipping cost to ship my engine from Covington, La to Vian Oklahoma is $100.00+.. The reason I mention this is because we bought a shipping crate made by Scribbner Plastics. This crate is for a small block Chevrolet. They also make crates for shipping transmissions. These crates are fully enclosed and no one can see whats inside of the crate. If it was not for the engine being completely sealed from public view, I would not be shipping my engine! Think about how many times you ship an engine or transmission???? It makes good sence to protect your high dollar parts from the temtation of theft. Scribner plactics. Google and buy a plastic crate to ship your transmissions and engines

I thought the same thing when I first read it.

I'm sorry to hear about this and hope you find them or get it worked out to your satisfaction. I realize how frustrating this can be. Years ago I shipped a set of BBC cylinder heads and UPS broke one in half. Even though I paid for the insurance they wouldn't give me a dime and I lost $1K. I haven't used them since. Too many times I think customer service is a thing of the past ...

Good luck with it.

That good advice from John. I have used R&L several times as well. No issues. The difference is I ship dock to dock and pick up my shipments at their terminal. Might be a bit safer that way. I am a carpenter so I build my own crates and fully enclose the shipment from view.

Here is a picture of the two trans that Gary was shipping.

Makes me think of the pictures at the Post Office.....why didn't they keep him when they took the picture?

Thank you guys for your responses. I normally do ship everything in boxes or crates but this time I did not require this to be done. I was told that when it was finally wrapped in plastic you could barely tell what was on the pallet. Thank you to Tom Sheehan for posting the pic for me.

Gary,

Just saw this. We ship pallet loads "shrink" wrapped all the way up to oversize 50+ foot skids. The Pro number should have been assigned at pick up. Did they give you a copy of the B/L and who signed for it at that address? I've had engine parts delivered on a skid to the house but I don't think they do that here anymore, you have to go get it at the terminal. Did it change freight carriers enroute? (Sadly you have discovered the new corp. America, I was told they are not concerned with the quality of their product or service as it cuts into their Golf week $ at the Masters:-) We'd file a claim for the full amount. It was mentioned to file a police report, you'd need that even for a theft tax loss next year correct?
