Lol. I work in supply chain and logistics, so I've seen and heard a lot of interesting excuses for delayed shipments. However, I don't think I've ever had that one. :lol:

Yeah, yesterday it just said exception, train derailment. Then when I went to get the screenshot it was delivered to the hub, and today we are magically back on track!

I am mostly worried about damage. To me, a train derailment is a violent event but maybe I'm thinking too Hollywood.

Well it made it safe and sound. All beat up but really no worse than any other UPS delivery. All the parts were fine and all present .

Installed it in about 2 hours though could use some adjusting.

Sound is great but I have a rattle. It is contacting the cross brace. Need to sort that out. Also bought some of the classic u bolt clamps instead of theirs which aren't the best. Need to swap those out.

The system is basically an invidia q300 clone.
