Not sure what is happening with the rear cover I ordered for the 1130

SENDCUTSEND.COM IS THE SERVICE I USED TO CREATE THIS SIMPLE PLATE

Basically is a rectangle of galvanized metal with a few drill holes and some slots for ventilation. It was produced and the shipment was listed as September 17th with an arrival forecast of tomorrow (Sept 25th). I did notice that the UPS tracking never listed any updates to the progress except for the pickup event, but I remained hopeful that it would arrive.

Today when I logged onto sendcutsend.com to check the tracking info, there was a message that due to a 'railroad mechanical issue' the package is delayed. The date of the delay is the 17th but it wasn't posted until the 24th and there is no updated delivery estimate. All I know for certain is that I won't have the door tomorrow to paint and install on the 1130 this week. 

UPS tracking shows a delay indication with no new estimate. I have to believe that this is a UPS foul up and that the maker of the rear door was only notified today of some vague railroad mechanical issue.  



This is intriguing. Could be a train derailment, the train car could have burned, the locomotive broke down and the cars need to be shunted to a new engine. The forklift could have crushed a set of packages during unloading. The door could have closed on the packages ripping the labels off so they don't know where to route them. Possibilities are endless.
