Stay away from UPS. Never use UPS.


This is an edited mail to a seller on how UPS screwed up a LP that I was search for many months.

Hi, UPS left the DCC record at my front door. And I was speechless. Tears almost came to my eyes .... because I finally found it and UPS just wrecked it. I did wish the record was packed better but I don't know what they did to wreck my LP like this. They bent the package and the record inside. I still am very angry by this handling because I have wanted this record. It's useless now because my VPI Aries can't track this would-have-been beautiful record. Man, what a criminals these UPS guys are. This is the 3rd time that they screwed me up like this.

I hope that I can get the refund from the seller. After all, the package could have been better, i.e., a lot more padding than a piece of carton to pad.

Still am furious

Hey vinyl guy, I feel your pain. What was the title? Maybe we could keep our eyes open for another one on the market.
Watkins was recommended when I purchased a pair of speakers because the seller had some bad luck with UPS. Well the speakers arrived in excellent condition but the boxes were beat up due to shipping (obviously not handled well). Thank God they were packaged well(double boxed). I inspected the speakers before accepting them much to the dismay of the person driving the truck. I agree with tireguy all shippers are questionable.

Sorry for your loss. They should use Priority Mail for something like that.

Try putting the record under something flat and heavy for a week, and see if it flattens out some.

You might be able to flatten the record by putting it between two pieces of glass, place it in the oven on the LOWEST SETTING for about 20min. or until the record is flat. If it is very warped put a weight on the top glass.
Great idea Dill. I thought of heating it, but could not think of a way. The glass should work great. (Don't melt it).
