Default USPS denied my appeal on the lost StopTech caliper

I'm so irate right now. Now I have to appeal AGAIN to "Headquarters in Washington". Each step of this process has taken 6 weeks. I received the packages back in the middle of DECEMBER. Meanwhile, they hold the rest of the contents hostage -- i.e. the rotor -- until the issue is resolved. Meanwhile, my existing front rotors are dying quickly.

So. ****ing. Pissed.

Default insured value is only $500 anyhow. not worth the lawyer fees.

Hopefully they'll approve it this time around.

Default Sucks man... How much is a caliper from ST? Where do you live? I have stock rotors that are...

about brand new that I could loan you if you are close. I don't want to sell them in case I ever return the car to stock, but if you are close I would be happy to let you use them in the interim.

Default I am in PDX so at least we are on the same coast. If you need to borrow them let me know...

too bad because I come down there fairly often (I work for Qualcomm) but I don't have anything on the books to be down there right now or I could just take them with me.

Default thanks! I'll let you know how this turns out. I'm going to try and get the rotor back

and just leave them with the box during the rest of this appeal.

How can they hold your other packages from you?

Default are your current brakes that bad?

If they are a safety concern, I have a spare front set you can use. They are the original Stasis streetsport set that utilized S8 calipers and 13 inch vented/slotted rotors. If I recall they are 4 piston Brembo calipers. The pads are Porterfield R4S and I also have Pagid blues. They are just sitting in my garage taking up space after I put the Brembo GT kit on. You can borrow them if you would like. I'm in CA, only a few hour drive from Wicked.
