My FedEx guy always delivered my parts to my neighbor two houses up or a lady down the road from me on a different street (and a different house number...)

With us being in a new house hopefully that has ceased.

so i started ups awhile ago and scottsi is pretty much right. you better package your box well and if theres multiple items in the box make sure you taped it well. because if it bust opens things can get lost, and box's drop anywhere from a foot to 8 feet in the trailers. some people there will take care, but boxs weigh anything from 1 pound to 150 pounds so if your handling over several thousand box's in a 4-5 hour shift, sometimes you just toss the boxs instead of nicely placing boxs on the rollers or what not. and alot of the equipment in the smaller towns at least are fucked up junk. there to cheap or lazy to fix stuff to work proper. and some ups workers get paid good when you start off its ----, unless you get hired on as a driver or better then the other peon jobs there. everyone does get benifits though after two months theres a plus side. so yes you better hope wherever you buy your ---- from they package it well. ups is the worse paying job ive had so far. i just got it because it worked good with my schedule at the time

UPS sucks dick. Too expensive, and a hassle on both ends.
Fedex, hassle to ship, but big ground items are cheaper.
USPS ships all Stealthmode stuff, and picks the ---- up from me too. I never thought the US government would want anything but a monopoly on anything they do, but in the free market of shipping, they actually are good. Who knew?

That guys yard and cars looked like ----. I can just imagine his house. WTF would he need a security system?

USPS isn't that great either. I thought I packed those rods/pistons pretty good and those still got the skirts cracked. Why couldn't the pistons I didnt' want get damaged.

I ordered 2 axles off the net about a year and a half ago, they came in a timely fashion and there was a note on my door saying they were by the garage. After a few minutes of searching I found them in a snowbank in the middle of my yard. There were 2 boxes taped together, they were both crushed to ---- and one of them was ripped open and one of the axles was missing. I called UPS and they told me I had to write them a letter explaining to them what happened and send along my copy of the billing statement showing that I was supposed to get 2 axles and mail it to them. So I mailed it all certified and about a week later I was called by a manager of some sort who told me that the driver would be by the next morning to pick up the torn box. The next day a driver came by and picked up the box. After a week of not hearing anything I called ups and spoke with the manager again, initially he claimed that he had never heard of me before, once that arguement was settled he told me that I had no way of proving that the box was empty when I got it and for all he knows I already put the axle on the car. I haven't heard anything since.

^ Yeah I hear you. I sold a port and polished Y8 head that just needed to be put back together about two years ago. The guy got it and the box was full of holes (was a brand new box BTW) and half the packaging was missing along with missing parts. Filed a claim...nothing.... after about a month I called them up and they said it was improperly packaged, bend over. Yeah it was improperly packed after you dumb ***** ripped holes in it and the packaging came out.

ive shipped a TON of ---- through USPS and never once have I had ANY complaints.

The only thing I dont like about USPS, is there tracking. I wish they tracked like UPS.

BigD

Yeah there tracking sucks. When you have a buyer that bugs you 10 times a day the USPS tracking system just won't cut it.
