Are you sure it was the wrench?
What other items did you order?

better watch out you might make wrenches go on the no fly list.

As for why they wont deliver to the p.o. box is because its a competitors thing i.e. Post Office (p.o. box).

jamieb --- yes it was just a wrench there was nothing else on the order.

toothfangclaw --- the irony was that they told me the item couldnt be shiped via postal and had to be shipped ups and then ups refused to deliver to the po box that i had wanted to use when the shipping was originally set to be postal.


i contacted them via email and they sent the item postal and it arrived in my po box very shortly.  they didnt say why i recieved the email but im assuming it was an error or an oversight on someones part.
