It’s hard to think clearly in a situation like that, I totally get it. I too have a couple of lovely incompetent, UPS stories.
But I think the easiest solution would’ve been to pay the driver another $41.66, take delivery of your wheels, and then call up your credit company and put a cancellation complaint on the charge given to the driver. In your case, a simple forwarding of your paid in full email would easily prove your case.
fingers crossed the wheels are safely in your possession by 9 PM. 🤞🤞
