What a pain in the butt!! UPS is the problem here. Sorry but your anger is directed at the wrong party. Hopefully it was insured to cover the replacement but either way I think you're stuck waiting for the full process. Good luck!

Is there any legal laws that say magnuson has to back there product or when something is lost that they should be responsible for getting a replacement when they were the ones who created the label and insured the package?
Man that sucks!! How does UPS lose a SUPERCHARGER? I can just see me coming home expecting a small part for my car like a PTB, then when I actually get there they have a supercharger sitting at my doorstep just Bc the UPS driver assumed it was mine Bc he knows I constantly order car parts?
As surprised as I would be, I would still contact UPS about the mistake.
That's a tough break bro. I hope they work things out fast.

My company ships high-dollar transmissions and parts all over the world. If we commission the shipment (i.e. UPS bill comes to us), if something happens we take care of the customer first, then file a claim with UPS to get our company reimbursed. Obviously UPS is the cause of the issue, but the customer shouldn't have to suffer for it.

For sure it is UPS fault. And I almost certain you have to go through the two month process to find your shipment.

But to have another supercharger, depends on the shipment insurance policy and how much it was covered in case of lost or damaged shipment. Either way Magnouson must file the claim as the shipping contract is between them and UPS.

You run after Magnouson > Magnouson run after UPS.

Try to a do a chargeback on your credit card. Magnuson paid for the shipping, UPS messed up. None of this has to do with you, so why are they able to hold onto seven thousand dollars because they feel like it?

The supercharger was sent out on June 5, 2013 and it still hasn't been delivered a week and a half later when it was a next day delivery. So I gave Magnuson the benefit of the doubt and figured UPS lost it. UPS wouldn't give me any information since Magnuson created the label. So I call up Magnuson and the response I get from the sales manager is, "What are you worried about it shows it is in transit. " I explained to her it was a next day delivery that was sent over a week ago and that since they were the ones who created the label they needed to contact UPS for more information, and her next response almost knocked me off my feet. She said, "and what do you like me to do about that." Apparently 7400 dollars of missing in action product is pocket change to the people over at Magnuson. I went with Magnuson because of all the good things I have heard about them but to my discovery there customer service is far below par and what they make it out to seem. No body over there wants to give me any support in finding my lost supercharger and I wouldn't recommend anyone doing business with them.
First off im deeply sorry to hear about you bad luck with this magnuson supercharger! I understand when folks throw choices of wording out there that you dont like it gets you all steamed up however I can also say as im sure you already know thats a way to get them to say oh well try calling back.
I am a Former UPS driver as of a few years ago the best thing to do is Call Magnuson and be cool as soon as someone answers say I need a manager when the next person gets on the phone ask if they are a manager keep asking until you get one tell them you sent the SC back through UPS ( next day ) there company wrote the paper work up therefore they need to contact UPS to find this product. Its not lost for good. UPS scans everything as it gets on the truck and as it is taken off a truck. IT may still be at the hub. With magnuson getting the info to UPS in half a second UPS can tell where it is make a phone call and verify.

Dont mess with folks who work the phone or customer service ask for a manager ( and keep calm ) I learned that the hard way lol


btw magnuson cant keep that tracking number from you as you paid for it so if they dont want to hand it over I would nicely ask for a refund or a new supercharger.

I too would try and dispute the charge.

^^ this was exactly my thoughts! I don't work for Ups but I have been in retail Management for 25 years. I would have hung up on the irresponsible lady that couldn't take care of the situation and immediately got in contact with a supervisor.
I would agree to start off calm, but when push comes to shove, calm don't always work! You have to demand someone trace it down. It was too expensive to just wait and see. Like that lady said, "it's showing in transit"?
Duh it was suppose to be next DAY!

You paid.

You don't have the product.

Refund or dispute the card charges.

Its UPS screw up, but there no way I would let someone hold 7k bucks and have nothing to show for it for months at a time.

Let them ship you another sc, and they can wait for UPS to reimburse them.

Yeah the ideal thing would be for Magnuson to send me a new supercharger and they wait for the refund from UPS since they have alot more money then me...here is the kicker, I just discovered Magnuson insured the supercharger through UPS for a value of 5 DOLLARS!! They have their work cut out for them now. I cant afford to be without a car any longer. Its already been three weeks. Next Magnuson and UPS will be getting my rental car bill!!

Don't think so on the 5 bucks. Ups standard insurance is $100 that they put on even if you do.t ask for.any insurance.
