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

You stated: "No wonder why you guys/gals can't get your systems together. You don't even know how to ship a LP."

How did the thread about a damaged LP turn into a flame about everybody's system? Sometimes the packing here on A-gon from individuals is better than from the manufacturers themselves. On ebay it's a crap shoot.

You've expressed ideas regarding shipping that have been
mentioned time & again & that's a good thing as the more exposure there is to proper shipping techniques the better the condition of the items upon arrival. However, I take exception to your methodology of getting the point across.
Overall go fed-ex/While both are to big to give alays reliable service I did get a refund for a pair of broken tubes in two weeks instead of the 6 I thought it would take.Plus they are very aggressive in their pricing vs UPS.Even at home (if you are going to be there ) and especially at work even if you don't have a regular account call for a pick up for ground or air.If you have been using pacing shops like Mail Box etc you may not realize how much you are getting screwed price wise.
I have had alot of tragic stories with UPS but what broke the camels back was that they manage to drop 2 independent packages containing monoblocks ( one in each package ) and bend the edge of the front plate next to the handle in both ! units, How did they manage? damn bums!
