I just bought some speakers from a gent, and I insisted they were in their orginal box, then the orginal box bubble wrapped, peanuts, and in another box. I paid the extra $20, it's worth it. Whenever I sell, I strongly suggest the buyer consider the same thing. I'll take it to MailBox Etc. for the wrapping and double boxing, then over to Fed Ex for shipping. MailBox Etc. wants a ridiculous amount for shipping, do the work and take the double-boxed item to Fed Ex yourself. I also insisted on Fed Ex ground, UPS is beyond brutal. I'll NEVER use UPS for anything.
Dont Ship UPS, Marantz tuner DOA
In reference to package id 1z1x42720301503488
I am very disapointed with the way UPS handled a stero tuner shipment to me. The unit was packed with bubble wrap and styraform peanuts in a heavy cardboard box, for shipment from NY to NJ (7 hours by car).
The appears to have been dropped with such force that the knobs actually pierced the cardboard container and the steel faceplate was bent. Also side of the box was ripped wide open, but at least someone had the sense to stick it in another box along the way (WITH NO ADDITIONAL PACKING), peanuts spilling out of the original box.
I have heard of such horror stories before and now it has happended to me.
I will never use UPS again and will go back to using FedEx as others have advised me in the past.
