    • Yikes! A train derailment… That’s never a good sign.

      • Dark says:

        Yeah… not so good if you’re the guy twirling the moustache. By the way, A) not all villans have handlebar moustaches, some have the “hitler” tash; B) We’re not all evil, some of us are just misunderstood.

        • VDOgamez says:

          What’s funny is that if the so-called villan thinks that he is doing the right thing by committing murder, he is actually good. If a man goes insane and decides that New York is the portal to heck and must be destroyed, then somehow aquires a nuke and blows up New Your killing millions of innocent people, he is tecnically not evil, but good. Alignment is determined not by the action, but the motive behind it. Therefore we can justify that Osama bin Laden is actually good. :P

      • Villian in Distress says:

        I really doubt the villian would just be standing there twirling his moustache either ;]

      • joe says:

        had the same thing happen on 2 different shipments. there response:
        we have no control over some deliveries!!!

    • Links 2 3 4 says:

      I live in New Stanton D:

    • Matt says:

      I’ve seen that on one of my packages! That must of been the same train!

  2. Me says:

    First!@

  3. Nekopawed says:

    Tracking Report:
    Train Derailment.
    Your shipment of medical supplies and steel rail ties have now been reordered from the manufacturer…we thought the train company needed it more…

  4. TheMan says:

    Call from UPS “We be happy to compensate you on this…. If you purchased insurance.”

  5. mj says:

    It’s more of a shipping fail. Seems like a tracking win to me, in that there was a timely notification of what went wrong.

  6. Wayner says:

    I wonder if he could still pickup his shipment from the accident site?

  7. Ryan says:

    Ouch.

  8. danieltyack says:

    Ha Ha, I had this happen to me once! Too bad I didn’t get a screen shot :)

  9. Michael says:

    Tracking Success! Shipping Fail!

  10. Keelhaul says:

    Conspiracy alert!!!! The DEA will go to extremes to make sure that Johnny Penn State never gets those Mexican Vicodin he ordered off the web…..
    Bad, bad, Johnny!!!!! “Pain relief” Fail!!!!

  11. Anonymous says:

    70 pounds!?!?!? WTF was in the box?!???

  12. Homer says:

    Not a tracking fail. The tracking worked just fine. I would call it an alternative “Shipment of Fail” because it is the shipment that failed, not the tracking.

  13. T says:

    If you look up this package on UPS.com it shows it was delivered the next day. Shipping success!

  14. dahcheet says:

    That’s what you get for trying to send something to Penn State

  15. Tracking win, shipping fail.

    “We were doing well at getting your shipment of fail to you, until the train fell off the track. Um, sorry about that.”

    (Aside: I wish the commenting system bothered to tell you that it requires Javascript to work)

  16. Joe says:

    This seems fake – put in the UPS tracking number yourself into the UPS site, it doesn’t show any of these stops.

    Plus the second stop happened BEFORE the first.

    FAIL at FAKE!

  17. jluve82 says:

    In regards to the second stop before the first, it’s an issue with a time zone difference. I’m not sure where Guadalajara is, but it’s not in the same time zone as Penn State, that for suer. I’ve had many a package that gets “picked up” several hours before I placed the order. And once the day before. ^_^

  18. InsertNameHere says:

    I track stuff all the time with ups.com – and this shows up more than you’d think. My co-workers and I think it’s a euphemism for “we f@%$ed up and your package is going to be REALLY late”. I mean, how many freaking train derailments can you have and still stay in business??

  19. InsertNameHere says:

    The packages are almost always picked up before the billing information is transmitted to UPS, hence the discrepancy with the times.

    Still funny, though.

  20. Joe says:

    Then explain what happens when you put the tracking number from the picture in the UPS tracking site yourself. :)

    http://www.ups.com/us

    • Fiddlesticks says:

      Attention Span Fail.

      Look like 3 posts up. The tracking number isn’t going to work anymore when it happened so long ago.

  21. This is my new favorite blog. Fantastic!

  22. Anonymous says:

    It was an IBM x3450

  23. anon says:

    It was an IBM x3450

  24. This doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t get there package though, right?

  25. dna_level_c says:

    explain what happens

    Looks like it got delivered a week later. Seems plausible to me.

  26. Melody says:

    God I hate UPS. They are an epic fail every day.

  27. Amanda says:

    I think I found the news item reporting this! Whee!

    http://www.ble.org/pr/news/headline.asp?id=22054

    • Anonymous says:

      Investigative Fail. The derailment in your news story happened on May 4; the derailment in this fail happened on January 31.

  28. Anonymous says:

    I work at UPS, and can assure you the incident itself definitely is not fake, although I can’t speak for this particular image. At the end of January (the end of the month is usually a high-volume time as is) a few cars went off track in PA. Not a huge derailment, nothing you’d see on the news or anything, but enough to set off a disruption that bounced throughout the entire system as packages were routed to different places to compensate.

  29. Lisa says:

    Getting back to the more interesting question… what did a college guy order from Guadalajara Mexico that weighed 70 pounds?????? Guadalajara is considered Mexico’s silicon valley, with a thriving electronics industry. It also has a thriving pharmaceutical industry. So while the albino piano playing child theory is interesting, computer components or scientific equipment or a very large supply of drugs are all more likely.

  30. jluve82 says:

    I’m going to go with an empty computer tower filled to the brim with after-market Oxycotin, Viagra, and anti-depressants.

    • Keelhaul says:

      Me like opiates….Me get good grades….Me hear ringing in ears and everything is fine……..just fine…..Me get goo…….ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

  31. Relly says:

    Doesnt it seem kind of odd that after the arrival scans, the package was in the facility for at least an hour before it left on a truck? But 33 minutes after the package arrived at the facility, it had already left, and the train had already de-railed?

  32. VDOgamez says:

    A derailment does not nessicarily mean a crash…

    • Amanda says:

      Nope, but the news I read suggested that two trains collided. whoopsie!

      reminds me of those silly story problems in algebra class… one train leaves Guadalajara going 50kph, 3 hours later another train leaves Washington DC going 30mph, how long will it take them to collide in New Stanton, PA?

  33. ADHD says:

    Train Engineers were smoking the guy’s 70 lb of Mexican weed.

    • Keelhaul says:

      Which is why I always say….Buy American!!!!!! The Appalachians are turning out some good……….Uhhhh….nevermind.

  34. anonymous says:

    I remember my package was on that train. That sucked.

  35. Jimmy says:

    See that’s what happens when you ship from Mexico…

  36. Maawl says:

    Lol, failz.

  37. BasementPro says:

    lol this happened to me a few weeks ago

  38. NameRequired says:

    Well, this is a message I’ve never gotten up so far when checking UPS airway bills at work…..

  39. AaronsEvilTwin says:

    Seems more like a “Railroad Maintenance Fail”, or maybe even a “Save Some Cash Buying Secondhand Boxcars Fail.”

  40. LD0ne says:

    BUAHAHAHAHAH TRAIN DERAILMENT THATS GREAT

  41. stephanie says:

    I’ve gotten this on my shipping tracker, too! How often do they derail?!

  42. Courtney says:

    ouch their goes ur package. xD

  43. Lance says:

    wow =] i live right by there…p.s. there is no train.

  44. thephantombloggerstrikes says:

    Sometimes a train derailment is just a train derailment. (or a cigar, I’m never quite sure)

    #186

  45. Thunder says:

    This is photo-shopped or something. I work at the UPS in New Stanton, PA. that hub doesn’t do freight (train shipping)

  46. Seth says:

    I live in the town that that package was being delivered to!

  47. Eric says:

    That’s what they get for trying to send something to Penn State.

  48. Brandyn says:

    i dont understand whats wrong with this one.
