Default RE: Did I pull a dumb one.......

ORIGINAL: Lil Hoss

I sent a ECU to Jetcat to be serviced. I sent it USPS (US mail) Well dumb ***** me didn't put insurance on it. ''IT'S LOST''.....
I have called every 800 number that the postal service has to offer wondering where my package is. Same reply ''Don't No''. I no it's my mistake for not insuring it. BUT,,,, I paid and trusted the mail service to deliver my package. I mean, that what they do to stay in business. Why take out insurance to make sure the job is done right???
I am a carpenter and builder. I do not sell my customers insurance to make sure I do the job right......... My customers TRUST me to do the job right.
Oh well,,, I had to vent on this.
Just don't do as I have done....... Next time I will take out the insurance and use a different shipper.

Never Trust anyone or anything because everything is subject to change.


“I love you.” Means nothing when someone decides they don’t.

“Contracts” Mean nothing when someone decides to make them null and void.

“Pay scales” Mean nothing when someone decides to delete or change them.

“Insurance” Means nothing when a company decides they don’t want to pay it.


Over the years, I’ve learned the hard way, that unfortunately much of what my father used to preach to us as kids, has turned out to be true. He would say, “ The only two things you have to do is pay taxes and die.” Now he’s gone and I’m still paying taxes. One day I mentioned that phrase to an attorney I know and he said, “Actually he forgot something, child support, maybe it was because when we were kids, he never had to pay it because our dad was always there.”

A friend of mine used to always say, “Don’t ever fly somebody’s plane unless you are prepared to pay for it if something goes wrong.” This happened one day when we were all out at the field and I was passed the transmitter and shortly thereafter the plane went in because the guy had forgot to charge his battery fully. “I was only expecting to do one flight till you guys showed up.” Is what he said. I paid him for the plane because I was the one flying when it went in.

So the best advice I can solicit, would be that nothing is permanent or guranteed even when or if someone says it is, and EVERYTHING can and will change over time therefore, consistency is the only thing that is consistent.

I urge patience at this point and trust that next time you will get insurance and a tracking number.

Hopefully, your ECU will show up.

Good Luck
