Fedex and Ups Damage thread

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.........

None.

@fuzztone , maybe that's because you don't sell anything. Just sayin

I’m the last year I bought speakers, an integrated amp, a CD transport, a DAC and several cords. None of them came damaged.  The speakers came common carrier,  strapped to a skid and arrived near my door in great shape.

These are just the hifi purchase’s, there were countless others.
