Amps

[Jimmyohio75]

No, my stuff gets across the border on time without a problem...at least the stuff I ship (since I'm good at my paperwork). UPS and FedEx have both screwed up several times on the brokerage though, meaning I've had to "apply for refunds" for duty and sometimes taxes I shouldn't have paid (despite having proper paperwork with the shipments, which was obviously ignored by the brokers in the first place).

Yeah, there are some horrible brokers out there that don't know what the hell they are doing.

Looks like my accordion came in today. Luckily there are only non-fragile amp build materials inside.

My experience is exactly the opposite :idk: And FedEx costs less as well.

UPS in raleigh, NC is absolutely terrible. almost every single thing ive had delivered (id never pay them to ship) was damaged. sometimes its just the box- the UPS carriers werent able to inflict enough damage to cause damage to the actual item, just the packaging.

fedex is bad but UPS seems to be trying to destroy everything they touch. USPS is much, much better than the alternatives in raleigh.

I've never had a carton damaged, let alone the contents, from Fed Ex. I've also ordered a small package from across the country. UPS delivered it in 10 days. I ordered the exact same package again, this time I requested USPS. Took 4 days and a few bucks less. Note: I have no problem with my local UPS guys, just comparing.

I haven't actually much problems with UPS or Fedex aside from the fact they smack that brokerage bill so high.

UPS shipped my Ceriatone plexi clone all the way from malaysia to minnesota and even the carboard box was in good shape.

either one, USPS last if I must

I will throw UPS and Fedex a bone. Many amps, guitars, parts and pedals shipped without a problem. On two seperate occasions UPS even came back the same day when I called because I missed the drop off. I believe that sometime shit happens and its just life man, nothing to get too worked up over...unless you see your Fedex driver tossing your plasma HD televison over the gate.:facepalm:

Same here. I had an autographed guitar used on tour sent to me via FedEx. They apparently pulled it off the shelf of the gear locker and slapped a label on the case. The case didn't even have any real wear on it. I was totally :eek: when I saw that's how it was shipped, then took a second and gave a second :eek: after noticing how great of condition the case was still in.

UPS gets no love from me. Fuck them bitches! FUCK THEM! Fedex has been fine so far.
