Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS


Well the e-bay USPS shipping has fallen apart, and the e-bay Fed-Ex is not much better......A 4000.00 CD player missing for 20 days by USPS, A box of 50 fuses , says delivered , but nobody knows where ???..........2 cartridges and a headshell...delivered today, but nobody knows where ??........You put a tracking number in Fed-Ex all it says is late delivery, and never tells where it is.....So be careful with Christmas Presents..........The only way I can track USPS is go to the Post Office ans have them track it, if I track it all it says is late arrival......

Well after 41 days the CD player shows up at my home in good condition....Now for number 2 shipping mess!!!!   Fed-ex has a 6000.00 item I shipped to California, first mistake ??   The package has been put on the Fed-ex truck every morning for delivery, but when it gets to the shipping address its not on the truck, very morning its put back on the truck for delivery , its the same thing......It never gets delivered.....But there's still hope, maybe ???
Surprise!

Excellent service from UPS! I called them to pick up some loosely packed items, they repacked, then delivered the next business day, no hassle. Could it be they’ve seen the light? Or is this just the locals?

this week I took delivery of a Marantz SA-11S2 player shipped from CA to AL. The player arrived safe and sound. Not a scratch via UPS.
46 lbs double-box parcel.

Happy Listening!
I had a bad week with UPS, I had a large Audio Research sent to me and the shipper put a 105 LBS on the box......Which was wrong.....So when it got to Spokane, Washington (100 miles away) some one a UPS weighed it and found that it actually weighed 176 LBS......So it pretty much stopped there, and just about disappeared......But I found a girl at the Spokane ground station, and she sad it as out in the shipping department and some one unpacked it............So its setting in Spokane unwrapped in the shippng shop............So I ask her if I could come and pick it up and she says , no problem, so I drove the 100 miles and picked it up.........

Is there a cut-off weight in lbs. for UPS?
Was the ARC damaged?

I would gladly drive 100 miles to pick up gear like this if not damaged.

Happy Listening!
