Members otis_rush_fan Posted December 1, 2005 Members Share Posted December 1, 2005 I've only ever received guitars purchased online from UPS. I bought a JJ Pistols SX Monday online from Rondo. Today, I was e-mailed a notice saying that FedEx would be delivering the guitar next week. I've seen some FedEx horror stories on this board, never any UPS ones, so now I'm a little worried. I mean, I plan on getting a set up on the guitar, so I'm not worried about any little things that occur. How worried should I be? Not at all? A little bit?

Members GPLAYER Posted December 1, 2005 Members Share Posted December 1, 2005 As a person who deals with both, on a daily basis...your chances are just as bad with either. Both have gotten increasingly worse about package damage since they've increased the max weight to 150lb from 70lb. They throw the 150lb boxes on top of the lighter stuff....It helps hold it all down in the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members A-Train Posted December 1, 2005 Members Share Posted December 1, 2005 I get priority shipping whenever possible. The one time I didn't, there was (is) a nasty dent in the side of my amp. That was with UPS by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members otis_rush_fan Posted December 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2005 I feel a bit less worried now. I was quite concerned that FedEx was just so much worse than UPS. I guess it's always a roll of the dice no matter who ships. Thanks for the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Attila Posted December 1, 2005 Members Share Posted December 1, 2005 The only shipping method I've had damaged goods from, was FedEx Ground -- FedEx Air, UPS Air, and UPS Ground, have always worked well for me. -Attila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
