Amain is not the issue. It is USPS and lazy postal workers. I never ship high dollar items USPS. My normal postal worker is OK, but the temps have no clue how to read an S and N. all the time my stuff gets delivered to an apartment complex on the N side (one block away). Everytime I ask about it the post office knows about it already from all the other complaints about the temp.

No its not A Mains responsibility. they ship it how YOU CHOOSE during checkout. Their responsibility is to get it in the mail with correct address supplied by buyer. After that it is in the hands of the postal service. USPS is not employed by A Main.

has to to take it up with usps is because they require the shipper to open to claim. Canada post up here acts the same way.
In fact my T5M sat at the post office for 4 days because of an issue on the post offices end. The driver scanned the oackage being dropped off but the office employees failed to scan ot in. I had to open a dervice ticket with canada post and they investigated to find out it was there the whole time. Everyday I went in with my package notice. The plug at the counter scanned it and said nope not here yet. Even tho tracking said it was.
I have had orders bounce around in sacremento before too. Sometimes its just issues with the times that the tracking updates. Others its human error and the package is misplaced in the wrong bin and then cycled back into the process. Crap happens. If its only been a couple days give it a bit more time.

I raced mine last week for the first time against my friends T4. I let him drive mine and he bought a T5M that evening, it is so much better than the T4. We have about the same skills driving wise and I lapped him twice in both quals and the main running the same motor.
nice job on the sc5m btw

I do not blame amain but I belive they should have the ability to contact USPS like an account representive to assist with tracking the package and getting it on the right track. I have tried to contact USPS but never get anywhere they just repeat the info on the tracking website and say that is all they can do. It just frustrating watching it bounce all around or sit for days with nothing happening.

no i didnt. when i took it out the first time i had a stock motor in it and i just couldnt clear everything at the current layout at ocrc cuz i dont have fancy lipos or charge at 40 amps lol so i ended up throwing a 10.5 in it. i let the winner of the 17.5 truck class at this years cactus classic race it in the main and he said it had too much traction lol. so i havent felt the need to put the 4 gear in it.
