Stolen radio

hello everyone and sorry to bother you all but i have just bought my dream radio a ham international jumbo on the 3/11/2021 and it has disappeared while being delivered by UPS...
i am so gutted its untrue and at this point i just wanna give up the hobby if anyone between ireland and the uk spots this radio please contact me

anyhelp would be greatful thanks 29CT021 Ashley

Gutted for you! Owned one in the distant past and would love one again, just to look at. Will keep an eye on the major auction sites to see if one with that casing conditions turns up. The telsat / excalibur ears and very used top cover make it very distinguishable to others that might pop up for sale.

Hoping it will still turn up for you though. UPS lost a shipment of ferrite cores that were being shipped to me from the US, but they did finally turn up and get delivered some weeks later. Fingers crossed.

I am gutted for you, Ashley. I will definitely keep an eye out for you.

73s John.

Has it been delivered by UPS or is it lost in there system?

Fingers crossed for you mate that it's just misappropriated within the UPS system and makes a late show.

Everyone here has already expressed the feeling well with 'gutted' and I feel the same way for you.
I peruse the auction sites often so will also keep an eye out but hope it makes a show via UPS.

 Hello Ashley sorry to hear this, do you have any serial numbers on hand? Will keep a lookout 

did you have a tracking number from UPS or anything.

That’s awful Ashley, if it’s lost in the UPS System I suppose there is still hope or was it stolen from you personally. If you can please share the serial number, I watch a lot of the sales forums on Facebook it may turn up on one there.

hi ashley sorry about your rig lost by ups my wife sold a yaesu 747 it went missing on its way to ireland we refended the guy his money it was upseting as the postage was not cheap we where told it had gone to france you may be able to get a refund from ups we will look out if it turns ebay gumtree or facebook

That is heartbreaking to hear, such an old classic too but you have done the right thing asking other radio users as if it appears on the market it will stand out immediately, quite often it is the drivers who help themselves I have seen countless videos of them leaving the item at an empty address, taking the photo to confirm delivery them picking it up and taking it away again to sell on again.
I am sure we have all had similar experiences in this day and age I certainly know I have but I have had no trouble at all especially with deliveries and items left on the doorstep since I put up a couple of cheap little cameras and the warning stickers to alert others of their presence.
It would be a shame to let this unfortunate incident, the dishonesty of another spoil your coming back to the hobby and enjoying yourself!

thank you all for your support...it is very heart breaking as i sold my old radio to buy the jumbo and now i have no cb radio at all

Hi Ashley

Can you get the UPS tracking number from the sender? 
You can to see where it was last scanned and ask UPS to start searching for it.

So the tracking shows it left Stansted and poof it vanished? 
That is a typical UPS answer I'm afraid.
Has the sender requested a search or put a track and trace request in on the item do you know?
Sorry to ask what seem obvious questions.

Unfortunately ups are very lapse in there delivery systems, they where used by a frozen food company I ordered from and got a delivery notice which was a lie I decided to check on a number further up the hill and guess what same number totally different street my frozen goods where nolonger frozen and ups said sorry and that was it , I check now to see who the carrier is if its ups I don't use that company unless the change courier

well i have spoken to UPS now and it just seems that the radio has just vanished even tho it had a tracking number...i guess they have many light fingered drivers working for them

Not just UPS. 

All the next day carries have consignments going missing. due to theft, damage, labels falling off and even labels being created but the consignment not being sent.

That's soooo annoying there as rare as rocking horse now I hope you insured it or the seller did what part of the country are you from and where did you buy it from ?

I had the same with HERMES, I foolishly insured it, the drivers have mates in the office who let them know which ones are insured therefore probably worth a bit. I guess same with the company you used,prob same as all of them, mind Parcel Force seem OK. One employee at Hermes some years ago was imprisoned for theft of hundreds of parcels and selling it all on ebay, I went to the police but they said they had to have a name b4 they could do anything... ha-ha.
Good luck getting it back, 2 years later I'm still waiting for my 7000, I do however keep reminding HERMES they don't like it... !

Avoid Hermes like the plague there f bleep bleep useless how they manage to still be operating astounds me to be honest.i try and use the good old post office or parcel farce my be abit dearer but aleast you know it will get to you unlike the rest of the cowboys.

See Will keep my ears on for you nothing worse and if you haven’t already done so check with your neighbours you never know, best wishes 73,s

That sucks, will keep an eye open for you bro.
