GLM 1964 Imperials

Dirn · 2023-01-22T05:03:44Z

By now, I had expected to announce the the arrival of the 1964 Imperial convertibles in special colors of Royal Turquoise and Rosewood, limited to 60 of each including top up and top down versions. on Thursday morning I received notification that I needed to pay import fees for these 120 models. I promptly paid, and by late morning tracking for UPS said that they were on the truck for delivery no later than 7 pm on Thursday. It didn’t happen. on Friday morning the tracking had changed to “we’ll let you know when we will deliver. I started making some calls to both the international and US phone numbers given. On the final call to the international number I was told the five parcels were in Hong Kong. I then called the number of the Louisville location where models came in and payment was made. She assured me that the models must be in Minnesota. She said maybe they were waiting to have all parcels together so they could be delivered together. I said “no, UPS has NEVER delivered parcels all together. They usually bring one or two parcels the next day. The tracking now said on the way, with no specific time in mind. on Saturday I made a trip to the distribution center. She tried to help but in the end was of little help. When she looked up the tracking, she said it showed the parcels were in both Hong Kong and Louisville. I asked her to check with a driver. I was told the driver certainly did not have them because her computer said so. I reminded her that maybe their computer was not so reliable, as they showed them in two different places. The Louisville contact said that absolutely they would not request payment unless the models had arrived in the US. So here we are. I am hopeful, but skeptical that I will ever receive the models. To complicate things, I leave for Arizona tomorrow for ten days. Also this being CNY, my contacts in China are vacationing. I am more than a little upset with UPS.
