Members Guitar Heel Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 The fact that UPS packed it probably saved you. I always pack very carefully, and insure, but fully expect to be screwed whenever something happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand how important guitars are to all of us, so I send you my sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kulardenu Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 Would they still screw you if you video yourself packing the carton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members McCain Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 Probably wasn't positioned, packed and cushioned correctly inside the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Canadian Jeff Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 At least that looks like a break that shouldn't be visible if it's fixed correctly. Mojo sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members craigny Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 Would they still screw you if you video yourself packing the carton? oh yeah if you pack it yourself, dont even waste your $ on insurance...i talked to a couple of dudes from the ups store...if they didnt pack it you will have virtually no chance of getting reimbursed...so as stated above letting them pack it is what will get you paid...then again if you packed it this maybe wouldnt have happened.....im surprised to be honest..they have been pretty good to me and i always did the packing and went overboard i admit...and you said it was in the OHSC?? Damn that must have took some hit...hopefully you get your claim with no issues...sorry to see that man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that must have took some hit...hopefully you get your claim with no issues...sorry to see that man. I've heard that about UPS too. The safest way to get reimbursed for damage is to have UPS Store pack it. They also charge quite a bit. I asked how much to send a Strat once and it was $65.00 and Insurance was extra over $100 which you needed to get. That's one of the benefits of Craigslist. As I've been saying in other threads, it's tough out there but I'm selling. Just got back from selling a 59 White Dano 50th Anniv for $250. I paid $200 for it so I was happy. I knocked $50 off from $300 because the guy was driving about 50 miles to get to me and we met at a fast food place that was only 5 min from me. Sometimes you've gotta work with the buyer.

Members harold heckuba Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 I would use epoxy on that break. With epoxy you will never have to worry about it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yzfou Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Knowing Gibson's OHSC, I can't see how it could break without breaking the case? was the HSC broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevenJM Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 at least its just an epiphone and not a $3,000 gibson. definitely fixable. was the inside of the case packed at all? that might still be the fault of the seller, not UPS. Unless he specifically told them to pack the inside of the OHSC as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevenJM Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 I would use epoxy on that break. With epoxy you will never have to worry about it again. I would use Titebond like the OP stated. Titebond Original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kuz929 Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 If you insured it AND the ups store packed it for you, you would have no problem getting your insured value back. just call the ups store you shipped it from and have them file the claim for you. dont file the claim on your own behalf, you will get your check MUCH quicker through the store /protip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -=Pennywise=- Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 those pics...... ouch man, that sucks. I never had a problem with USPS, Fedex, or Purolator. Why the {censored} is UPS so bad? I hear so many guitar horror stories about UPS i refuse to deal with anyone who wants to ship me a guitar via them. It's guitar suicide....
