First of all i take full responsibility for this and own that i should’ve known better.
My truck is at Mark Dodge and fortunately i was able to get really good financing from my local credit union. Transaction was easy as can be with finance all they asked for was the remaining funds from the credit union and my truck would be on the next trip out with the shipper.
I went to my credit union who already had all the documents they needed from MD, signed some papers and it was done. check in hand and all i had to do was overnight it to MD and the truck would be on its way.
This is where i dropped the ball. Because it was a simple envelope with a check in it, I figured i’d just go to my local post office and put it in a fancy big envelope, pay for the overnight and i’d be good to go.
This was monday. Unfortunately my check still has not arrived at MD and the post office has no way of determining when it will actually arrive. Even with “overnight deliver”, paying extra for delivery confirmation and then “guaranteeing” a time frame, my truck now sits on the lot awaiting our lovely postal service.
Word to the wise and i wish i thought about it more at the time but DO NOT USE USPS.
Fed ex or Ups for any important documents.
lesson learned. the very hard way.
