Re: Arrghh
Not good Charlie, that stinks; UPS trashed it! I can relate. I've been getting about a 50% damage rate on stuff I've recieved from UPS. I ask shippers too try any method other than UPS if possible.
Had a Mint M22 shipped to me that was wrapped in cardboard and strapped to a small pallet. When it arrived the pallet was gone. Unwrapped the cardboard and one of the bolt ears to the bell housing was busted off. Called the UPS Claims dept. He was to come the next day. Before he shows up, I had another UPS delivery of a cardboard tube with NOS window fuzzies that said do not bend on the tube. It was bent and busted wide open, bending the window fuzzies.
The UPS claims guy shows up, and proceeds to tell me the M22 wasn't packed sufficiently as only wrapped in cardboard. I explained to him that it was on a small pallet when it left the shipper. I verified this by weighing the M22 against the shipping weight, which showed it arrived weighing 10 lbs less. He still wasn't satisfied. Then I pulled out the bent tube window fuzzies that said "do not bend on it" which had just arrived that morning. I almost had to laugh at him, then started getting mad. Instantly he changed and said they would cover everything. But you can't just go down to the corner auto store to buy these things.
