There's a thread in one of the vintage stereo groups about problems with shipping companies and their not honoring damage claims. UPS and FedEx seem to be the worst, with DHL better than the two.
I had one shipper who literally threw about 50# worth of assorted radios and parts into a thin single-wall corrugated box, wrapped with a bunch of clear packing tape. About half of the radios were broken , and one was in such a bad shape that I really can't do much with it besides let it sit on the shelf. n9wys wrote: > It apparently didn't come UPS, did it? > > They are anal about the way they accept packages (at least in these parts) > probably because they have a tendency to bash-up everything they ship. > (Hence: "United Package Smashers") ;-p > > Mark - N9WYS > > -----Original Message----- > From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of skipp025 > Re: Repeater Power Amplifier sent in a plain brown paper bag > > Just one of those scratch your head things...
