They lost my amp


I'm hoping you guy's can put me at ease. I bought mono-blocks from an Agon member. The shipper managed to deliver one mono-block but lost the other. They put a trace on it and said we must give them seven days to find it. My question is: When they lose these things, do they usually find them or is it like the police looking for stolen property - it's probably gone. It's been missing one day and it's big.

Sure am sorry to hear my fears were somewhat realized eg., damage.

the repairs, all the expense being put on UPS's dime?

40 x 48 Palletts, Palletts, palletts. Two way or four way, doesn't really matter. have 'em banded onto palletts... not just sitting on them but strapped down onto them!! Darn little will get put on top of them... they usually won't stack them atop anything either... and palletts are usually never run down the confveyor belts, where all the dropping usually happens!

A couple grands worth of gear, matched sets, or "day don't make 'em anymore", IMO, requires a couple hundred more to secure it... and it'sthe "easier softer way", in the end, than tryingh, hoping, praying, one will recover via a claim with the carrier.

Good luck man, I'm pulling for you!
Thank you Blindjim. UPS said they will pay for repairs subject to their inspection of the amp. I hope others heed your advise; the aggravation is definitely not worth it.
Phaelon,

Treat them nice and they will respond in a timely manner.

Pulling for you and keep us posted.

Wether they do or don't suits me either way... I can't6 stress enough however, how important it is to CYA with the added effort & likely, cost to safeguard things as a portion of the transaction. It's no lock, not even fool proof, but it'll sure take definite mishandling for it to encounter a severe mishap if strapped to a good sturdy pallett... probably no harder to lose though. ;-}
