Re: I hate UPS

I have to agree, my latest shipment from them was a 70mm telescope labeled "extremely fragile". The box that was once rectangular arrived looking like it had fallen off the truck and been kicked to my door. Luckily the telescope optics were undamaged, but I wont buy anything from Ebay now if the seller ships UPS.

Very good service, and I ship everything with them. I'm not the best box-maker, but all of my swaybars have gone out with them and so far I haven't had any reports of mangling or disfiguration.
I was pretty impressed with the packaging on the swaybar. Especially since it's basically indestructible anyway, lol.

Re: I hate UPS

A CORRECT STREET NUMBER IS NEEDED FOR DELIVERY. UPS IS ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION

This is a new one for me...

To each his own. I am the same way about sellers that use Fedex--I don't buy from them. Guess it all evens out in the long run. UPS is in the top 10 companies for customer service.

Re: I hate UPS

And on that day, the box on my doorstep said to me, "Ohai, FedEx dropped me here instead of next door where I belong, even though both houses are clearly labeled on the roadside mailboxes and the houses themselves."

I'll take UPS, thanks.

I guess whichever provider starts requiring IQ tests for new hires will ultimately emerge victorious. Its more up to the individuals handling the package than anything else.

Re: I hate UPS

I have yet to have a problem having anything shipped. This includes about 90 things bought off ebay, probably about 30 car audio items from random sites, car parts and who knows what else. Guess I've just been lucky.
