Hats off to UPS

Doctor J

Murderers!!!







P.S. the guitar is nothing to do with me but those pics still made me want to cry

Ravelleman

Ouch! It almost looks like they tried to damage it.

feylya

Christ. It's not as bad as the amp example on Chris Guitars but still, ouch!

Ancient1

and it's a strat too.......

If you look closely, you'll see a tone knob missing. How the hell did they manage that?

And i bet it was no one's fault either - the concept of personal responsibility completely eludes those morons.

Doctor J

"I work for a UPS authorized shipping center. Many times stores do not pack properly, and that is the result. I always handle all of the guitar shipments when they come through my center. A minimum of two inches of bubble wrap or of packing material around the gig bag or case (yes case...). Always buy the insurance, no matter what. Usually it is double coverage. Most stores already cover that type of damage so they can take it out on UPS on the back end. Also, they need to make sure that their boxes have a minimum crush resistance of 400 lbs. You should see the crap they pile on top of those boxes. It looks like your guitar was either a victim to that or a conveyor belt fall. Happens more than you think. Ship Fed Ex, that is all I can say.... I am glad you are getting a new one though. I hope this one won't be hurt by somebody's negligence. At least you didn't drop it on the way from the truck. LOL..."

Can you imagine what they'd to do a Gibson hollowbody? :eek:

Ancient1

Unbelievable........i guess dropping out of high-school and joining UPS wasn't such a good idea after all, huh?

Karl Hungus

Oh you are some piece of work. I'm going to bottle you in the face. Right in the face, and scream "STITCH THAT JIMMY!"

Will the bottle be full? Can I empty it first?

Karl Hungus

No, I'll empty it down your asscrack first.

feylya

What a waste.

Karl Hungus
