Damn that really sucks. My UPS guy knows me so well now that he automatically know any boxes of car parts automatically goto my house lol! 
For example today, my new Brian Crower 272 cams + Titanium retainers and valve springs came in. The box had the wrong address on it(few houses over), so he came over to my house first to ask me if it was mine. Heh....

Not sure how it will work out for you but I had a problem with Fedex breaking my old dash i sold and about a week and a half after the claim was started i had a check at my door after they had told me that it could take up to a month for my claim to get settled. Sad to hear, good luck.

hey i work for fedex how can u talk about them like that
that sucks bro i hope they get this straighten out for you because thats a lot of money right out the window. what i hate the most when things like this happen companies start to act stupid, fedex makes so much money a year they should have some type of insurance for claims like this. good luck

wait........so u bought a NEW turbo from turbonetics after those week long posts bout buying a no name ebay turbo manifold and turbo and building a 400 dollar turbo kit? maybe u never ordered a turbo from turbonetics........? if u did that sucks but i used to work for fedex for years and its almost IMPOSSIBLE to steal big stuff at the memphis hub. now if it was on a truck, i dunno. they do have camera's on the trucks though and in the hubs they load from. not impossible to get a big turno out but hardly something u can shove in your pants and bag without someone noticing. this all just sounds fishy and i dont mean the lost turbo....gl finding it though

That sucks dude...i hope you figure out what happened and get your full credit/refund from Turbonetics or Fedex...whoever was at fault. I usually ship UPS since i have a business account and i personally know our UPS driver who comes by the office atleast once a week.

sure your right it possible, but unlikely. n again, they have cameras on the truck so u dont think they will see him get off n get back on with the same package. im not saying this didnt happen but after all his talk bout being broke and wanting 2 build a 400 turbo i dont see this guy coughing up the $ n going n ordering a NEW turbo from turbonetics. a new turbo can range from like 500-2000 depending on bearing style, compressor size, housing, polished,chromed, etc etc not to mention a new manifold with the right flanges for that particular turbo. look its just my $0.02 so no matter, im not saying it cant be stolen its just unlikely to "walk" off a delivery truck
