Problems with U.P.S.

Fed Ex:....... as far as Fed Ex goes, we have had one damaged item with them (total, to and from) in the 8 years we have been using them. If we would have known the repair amount we woudln't have even bothered with the claim (*$35*). We haven't used them much in the past two years, except for CODs, but I am sure they are just as good as they were when we used them daily (we now use DHL, but they do not offer a COD service).

whats wrong with the good ole US postal service? Thats all I use. I have never had a problem and thier 2 day air is the same price as UPS 3 day and CODs come back 10 times faster.

Has anyone in these comments rated UPS on their record of handling their responsibility to pay legitimate claims in a timely fashion? As far as I am concerned, my loss of ONE of a pair of rare and expensive monoblocks by them having used the drop-kick method to get it here, is total, and I will suggest to their inspector TOMORROW A.M. when he shows up that I will not budge from this position and that no negotiation over the matter is being offered. Do wish me luck as, for possibly others in love with high-end audio and the gear required to constantly up-grade systems, for me, this is a life-changing amount of money.

I wish you luck, and hope you are a lawyer.

I bought a parasound amplifier about 8 months ago off of Audiogon and had it shipped to me COD. I got the amplifier in perfect condition and the driver took my money order and I thought everything was fine. Around 2 months later I got a letter from UPS asking me to pay the amount of the C.O.D. I explained to them that I had given the driver the money order when he delivered the amp and that in no way was I going to pay for it again. They continued to send me letters and each time I told them the same thing over and over. Then they started calling me and harassing me and threatening me with legal action and I basicly told them to stick it and do what they had to do. The funny thing is is that the money order was cashed so someone must of had it in their possession. I will never deal with them again. I have since moved, but I can only assume they are still lokking for me.
