VPI Classic 3

Hi Captian winters, I finally have time to setup the VPI Classic 3 on Saturday. I will let you know if I need any advice. Thanks.

Already to setup my new Turntable and it was damaged by FEDEX.
Maybe UPS is the way to go.

Sh*t Alan!! Sorry to read about your woes.

I'm thinking about sending my Classic 1 via FedEx to the VPI factory for some upgrades. The drive to VPI is at least 2 hours from where I live and I can't afford to take off the time. Further, who wants to drive 2 hours in North Jersey?? When I'm that close to NYC, my blood pressure goes up 10 points. LOL. Ergo FedEx.

FedEx must have been playing football with your Classic 3 because the darn thing is packed so well. Don't get so warm and fuzzy about UPS. If you check the Forum posts, plenty of complaints listed about UPS too.

Does anyone know of a better carrier than FedEx and UPS??

I have had far more problems with UPS damage than FedEx. Best of luck getting this resolved. Hang in there, with either company it can be hairy getting claims resolved.

Hi Bifwynne & Roscoeiii,
Nice to meet both of you. And thanks for the kind words.
First time I've ever had a shipping problem. It's going on 10 years since I've been on Audiogon buying, selling & trading gear. I guess my luck ran out.By the way, after I opened the boxes and put the turntable on my rack. Then saw this big corner smashed in, right above the A.C. Plug-in. My girlfriend left the house....And I poured more then one drink of Scotch.
