Here's a hint- none of them care! You are blaming them 100% for what may/may not be their fault.

You need to go hang out w/ PAB

I appreciate the replies but you're telling me stuff I stated in my first post. I KNOW that the branch lady is lying but is it really worth spending my entire day fighting? I don't want a 16 year old amplifier that's SEEMINGLY been tossed around for days to not work. The only way I can test that is to bring my huge speaker cabinet, a guitar, some cables, and a power chord to the UPS branch and play it. It's impossible to tell otherwise if the circuit is bad.

Then go with your gut instinct. Send it back and be done with it. I know it sucks but at least you won't be ut any money.

Yeah I know, like I said there was no point to this rant but I feel better about it. I don't really care about the $ since I know I'll get it, but it's the product I want and that's something at this point that might not be possible.

Improper packaging is also a huge issue.

If you're not even going to bother reading the OP then get the fvck out of my thread.

OK jackass I read it and it said it was packaged extremely well and insured. How do you know because you didn't say you had pics? Was there anything hanging off that might get caught when sorted? We ship 10's of thousands of packages a day with UPS and have very, very few issues.

Even if it was shipped with a single packing peanut taped to the side of it there was no call for the local UPS branch to treat him so badly.

Is it hard to fathom that his package was one of those "few"? ;roll:

OP - I can almost guarantee you that "mishap" happened at your local processing facility. How in the world would they divert a package to you if address label was torn off? Besides, as I stated before, any package suspected damaged is pulled off the belt and inspected/repackaged/returned. Trust me, it's your local folks.

Your percentage of issues is irrelevant next to his 100% with this package.

Must have used the tracking #, no idea how they'd deliver it without a shipping label. I'm sure it's fine but like I said, there's nothing I can do about the situation now. Do you think it's really worth calling HQ back and telling them what happened? The driver would have to come here and wait, which they said they'd do.

Of course give them a call. Driver is paid by the hour, he/she wouldn't care.

Bingo. There's no excuse for the side of a box coming off nor for sending something fragile in just peanuts. At the very least bubble wrap should have been used.

Call the branch tomorrow, or maybe later today, maybe that mean lady will be off-shift.

It's 100% relevant. He states "worst company ever" based on his single experience. I counter with more experience than the OP with UPS that states they aren't the worst. One bad experience does not mean the whole company.

 

[Platypus]

This isn't a single experience but I felt it not prudent to post about every other little problem I've had with UPS to appease the word watchers and trolls.

I'm sorry but my experience more or less agrees w/ the consensus.

FedEx >> UPS > DHL

in terms of the (hundreds of packages I've gotten in the last few years) quality of shipping and state of the package at delivery. UPS isn't all that bad, but I've had many more issues w/ them than w/ anyone else. (I had a 100% failure rate w/ DHL in the early 00's so I stopped using them, but I had only like 3 packages w/ them)

what if it got ripped off during a unload/load process?

is the unit defective?

i ask because i have worked for ups and fedex loading/unloading trucks and this happened alot. the senders would package stuff in the worst ways

Doesn't UPS require that THEY do the packing at one of their centers now, if you want it insured?

I was told that they had to pack the item I wanted to ship if I wanted to insure it, and if I brought in a prepacked item they would refuse insurance for it.

Hello Platy >=]

If it makes you feel any better, thanks to UPS, I'm now running dual 20.1" widescreen LCDs instead of just one hehehehe.........

 

[Platypus]

Glad you've come out on top Tech

 

[Platypus]

Hahaha.. now UPS HQ said it was impossible at this point to redeliver after it was status'd to be returned to sender and then he hung up on me mid sentence... is this for real or am I on some stupid reality show where austin kutcher is going to pop out?

UPS is horrid. I have had nothing but bad experience with them.

Xmax 04, they delivered a package to the wrong address, the UPS man went to the wrong street, and gave the wrong house my package. The people where kind enough to look my address up in the phone book and contact me.

Xmas 05 they lost a gift of mines at my own local distribution center, .

Had them deliver a TV by freight last summer, they screwed up big time. The tracking was garbage as they kept editing it, pure garbage. The TV arrived 2 days late with basically no reliable tracking.

 

[herbiehancock]

My point of view on this.....you've been treated badly by your local UPS dist. point, no doubt about that.

As for FedEx being better that UPS.....depends upon where you live. Larger urban areas, maybe, rural areas that use contracted FedEx drivers....not a chance. The contracted FedEx drivers get to choose when they will quit for the day, no matter what's left in their truck. They get paid by the package delivered and when they've had enough, they can quit delivering. I've had way too many packages end up not being overnight like I paid for but instead being 4-day deliveries because the damned FedEx driver just hates taking an extra 20 minutes to get out to my little neck of the woods.

Never had UPS ever pull stunts like that, and that's after hundreds of packages delivered over the last decade.

I do ship a bit, too. Finally got one broken bit of china from a UPS delivery I sent.....thankfully I had a spare coffee mug that replaced the one that had its handle broken off. But after a few hundred packages sent out, one isn't bad. Of course, I double box when I need to and pack so securely, you could almost drop a 20# weight on my packages and they'll absorb the shock with no ill effects.

I sell a LOT of china and porcelain on ebay and elsewhere......and have had only one broken piece to date.....all via UPS.

Double box, and peanuts are NOT a good packing medium for anything fragile. No matter how tightly you pack with peanuts, they shift, they mash, they do not hold the item securely at all. With some things, peanuts are alright....a video card, a cpu, but anything with weight.....never!

With fragile items, like china, I wrap in foam sheets, then bubble wrap, and bubble wrap, then bubble wrap another layer. Then I may use peanuts if I need to flesh out the inner box. But I never depend upon peanuts to do anything, especially with a 50# item......peanuts is just asking for trouble.
