Strange notice from UPS
I just got a notice from UPS about a package being delayed due to a Government regulatory agency hold in Plattsburgh, NY. The shipper is listed as BRP/Transcontinental. The origin is shown as Lachine, QC, Canada. I can't for the life of me recall ordering anything from BRP and the UPS notification is legit. Anyone know if BRP is sending out some sort of goodie to Spyder owners? Anyone else gotten this notice? Sure has me wondering!
A second notice says it's been released. I guess I'll know when it gets here!

Very interesting and wonder what it is.
Your situation happens to me when I order something from China that takes 9yrs on average to get though it is cheap. After 24hrs I usually forget so I get presents all year long.

Valid point. I thought the same thing so just to be sure I checked a second time. The link of the tracking number goes to ups.com, not some oddball variant often used in phishing emails. Same thing when I copy the # into the ups.com web page. The email header shows all the email paths to be ups.com, also not any variant. The only logical conclusion is it's legit.
BTW, for those who may not be familiar with it when you get a suspicious looking email select the option to open the header. There you will see the paths the email went through to get to you. If some of them look odd, be really suspicious. But that's not a fool proof method either if the sender is superbly skilled at spoofing or disguising email routing.

NEVER click on any link in a UPS/FDEX/DSL ect emails, actually any email. If it sounds legit, just go to the site in your browser and login. ALL legit emails from a company that you do biz with, will have your name, not customer or variation of your email address. They know who you are.
BTW, here is some info on the Equifax crap and suggestions to do NOW, I deal with theses people and trust their info.

It's legit. I received the same email. It's not a phishing scam..... all the links are legit and you can copy and paste the tracking number into UPS and see the status.
Mine is supposed to arrive Thursday. Package says it's 2 lbs. and the item description says "World Ease".
No idea what BRP is sending. Maybe it's something for those who attended the homecoming?

Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.

You can all relax now! They are sending out a miniature version of the Kenda tire with the new (May 2015) compound.

I hope it fits the portable stand for my table saw. One of the Kenda tires on it keeps going flat!

I would guess that those of you who received the email will also have the "Black". Helicopters circle about the time of the delivery. And for those of you on the dark side, this was probably ordered by someone, I won't so who very high up in our government!
