UPS is raising the value of hot rod parts!

Those **** heads at UPS have damaged or destroyed 5 transmissions I shipped with them in the last two years. Now they get a nice wooden crate. I insure all and have been paid but the lost product, inconvenience to the guy on the other end and loss of time to get it fixed just isn't worth the h***le.

So, another UPS horror story to add to the collection.

AAHHHHHHHHHHH, interesting side note though, I saw a set of Halibrand slotted mags on a popcorn cart in universal studios on Monday.

 

Surley there is more than 1 frieght company over there in the US. With all the bad **** I keep hearin bout them on the HAMB, why do you blokes keep usin them?????

There's at least six interstate couriers I can think of here in Oz.

 

Sorry to here about this,,,,

 

I never use UPS unless some one asks for it + its at their risk if I do send it that way , last three times there was damage, fedex is cheaper and a BIT safer, but I use USPS exclusively w del confirmation it getas there and in one pc- cheap

 

UPS ****s even here in Canada! I ordered a couple of cheap Kenworth shirts and a hat online, and it got sent UPS up here. Well we gotta pay duty when it arrives. So they charge a $40 FEE just to handle your god damned money and give it to customs! No one else does that, just UPS!

 

they are sitting on the shelf next to my pair of spindle mount halibrand sprints.....at some ups workers garage.....(last seen in the kansas area) they **** ......this ****s ....time to start a ups boycott......haha brandon

 

START A UPS BOYCOTT????....Dude, that has be going on for over three years for me, welcome to the FedEx Ground line.

 

A cl***ic example of something that wasn't packed sufficiently before, and now it is...

 

a buddy of mine bought a new windshield frame for his model a. ups destroyed the first one snyder's sent. then the two lower corners were bent on the next one they sent out. i dont think i'll be sending anything ups. maybe fed-ex or usps.

 

I NEVER ever ship any of my artwork through UPS.

I always use USPS priority mail. It usually gets there within 3 days and so far I've never had a problem.

With USPS priority, I had ONE package that was said to have gotten mis-delivered, but showed up at the right place the next day....The only thing I can think is it was a computer glitch with the tracking # itself....
Other than that small mis-hap...USPS has been GREAT.

Everything I get from UPS looks like someone has beat the hell out of it. I don't know how my stuff isn't broken to hell. I get a lot of stuff from Speedway, Jegs, and Summit....all of those places ship UPS. Most of the boxes looks like a 800lb gorilla tried to mate with it. Luckily, none of the stuff has been broken.

TINGLER

 

My company with about 45k employees just dropped UPS, and picked up FedEx. And we ship a LOT of stuff.

 

WOW! this has been VERY enlightening. i'll think twice the next time i ship something. i usually go with USPS just cause it is close to me and convenient. if i do need to ship something that USPS can't handle i just might go Fed Ex.

 

I'm thinking of moving to and requesting things sent to me through FedEx as well. I just got a tank delivered by UPS (and admittedly it wasn't packed as well as it could have been) that looks like it has been put through a woodchipper and spit back out again. I hadn't had a single problem with UPS until the last year or so when damage (mostly minor) seemed to go up and service quality went down.

I think their entire operation is beginning to go 'brown'.
