They lost my amp

I had a bizarre experience with UPS. I purchased a preamp last December. According to the tracking info, my preamp was still at the UPS facility of origin. There it stayed for 5 days. I kept checking the tracking info and even called a few times asking if they could physically verify that my preamp was where it was supposed to. Each time, I was told that it was indeed there. Finally, the 5th I called them, they admitted that they did not know where my package was. Of course I was furious! The very next day it showed up at my door, even though the tracking info still showed it at the UPS sorting facility...strange.

I guess we could all tell stories about shipping. I bought an amp and preamp from a couple states away. They would make it to my town and then UPS would send it back to the origin. I called several times after I saw this weird behavior. They did a total of three round trips. Finally got to my house but this time placed inside another box. The original box looked like it been to Mars and back. Very rough shape. Naturally I wasn't too happy because I always keep my stuff incl the boxes in excellent condition and it's better for resale. Well since the amp was ok nothing I could do except vow to avoid using UPS in the future.

Maybe UPS should consider a name change to Occasionally Ontime Parcel Service.

OOPS for short.

Hi Everyone,
I've been informed that the cj sojourner is alive and well and residing in Salt Lake City. Keep your fingers crossed for me as Salt Lake City is even further away than Maryland.

Phaelon,

Keep us posted on this finding as UPS seems to get a bad rap most of the time.

They have treated me well.
