With USPS having destroyed or lost no fewer than five diecast related shipments for me over the past year I decided to spend the extra $1 to try UPS this time.  My cars are now stuck in Customs with UPS telling me it is incumbent on Beaverworx to provide a broker or attempt to clear the package himself.  Anybody else ever encounter this?  Tips on how to avoid?

My only other experience with international was USPS to Crazy Cunuck which went fine.


  • how much did you value the shipment for? — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
  • $37. Didn’t itemize, but $25 + four cars at $3 each. For some reason it was in my head that anything under $50 would be safe. — Ruckus_Racing
  • I always try to say gift or keep it $10 or under... the only shipment I "lost" included entry money and return shipping... $25... I used to ship hundreds of reflock action figure heads all over the world without incident by saying it was a gift. — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
  • Girl at the counter asked if it was a gift and I replied it was. Maybe the dollar amount? Maybe random? For sure stressful. — Ruckus_Racing
  • yeah, that sucks for certain... — Stoopid_Fish_Racing

Anyone know what happened to beaverworx?

Has anyone got their cars back?

  • Another diecast mystery........Hope all is ok. — CutRock_R_Marc_D
  • The bigger picture, its almost like before a race be able to be posted two verifiable (different) contact points (and locations) are given by the host, to ie RLD or some Diecast authority. He may be ill etc, but at least people in the event/hobby should be able to find out. — CutRock_R_Marc_D
  • oddly enuff, I have a set if instructions with the mail in cars I am unpacking, so if something happens to me, y'all will know. Continuity of Racing plan...lol — dr_dodge
  • Could the Canadian Post strike be playing into him not sending cars back? — Dutch_Clutch_Racing

Dude! Can I get my cars back... the 4 of them are needed for rework and new races!

You can DM me for mailing address and postage...

Thanks!
