I've bought loads of amps, DACs, speakers, headphones and just about everything else audio over the decades and had it delivered by FedEx or UPS; sometimes the boxes arrived in a bit funky condition, but not once has any item been damaged and I needed to return it.

Yes Packaging has something to do with Damage in transit. Actually I forgot about why i posted this Levinson 23 amp. 2 Weeks ago, 2 days to double box this guy, using proper poly foam I purchased in sheets for packing amplifiers, so about 3 inches of foam in all corners, all attached to the double thick boxes, this is superior support then the manufactures boxes. Shipper found a way to break the internal fuses in half ecr. Shiper found a way |
In the past 10 years I have shipped over 100 pieces of gear with Fedex including at least 10 heavy tube amps and never had an issue till about a year ago. Have had 2 tube phono stages damaged, Internal parts shaken loose due to miss handling and both units were shipped in their factory packing. I am through with shipping by Fedex and paying their insurance prices just to deny my claims when the time comes, will be selling for local P/U only unless it is a set of headphones or something less likely to be damaged by their people who obviously are untrained or just don't give a sh......... |
@fuzztone , maybe that's because you don't sell anything. Just sayin |
