I've had stuff show up a day early, when it just happens to make
connections (arrival scan and departure scan within a few minutes
of each other) that they had not counted on in the schedule, in some
distant state.

Look in the tracking early on the day early and see where it is.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

I used to work for UPS as a loader ... if a box arrives at the 'hub' for
delivery in two days, but you've payed for 3 ... it _WILL_ sit there until
day
3.

Thank you JW (K9RZZ) for your honesty (I hope you were being truthful when you
said that) because of that above statement of yours (as a customer, you don't
have much, but you have the one thing. Choice)

Because you said that and was/are an employee there, I will NEVER do business
with UPS again. If I buy from someone in here (say Brenda Ann or someone else)
that will be stated and if not agreed to, I won't do business.

And I have the same driver ALL THE TIME (older black fella ready to retire and
can barely walk it looks like), when he gets here, and if it is literally on
the 13th, I will ask him what you just said (I already printed it out) and if
he confirms it, that's it. Bye bye UPS, because that's ridiculous.

I've had something shipped to me from someone in her via UPS and something is
terribly wrong with the speaker (I won't say names)..... I'll NEVER be able to
use it. It looks GREAT, nice and shiny and old. But it was more than likely
drop kicked by a worker because this piece is built like I tank and I'll never
be able to use it because the speaker is shot in it, it's fine if turned up at
the 'almost' second marker. After the second marker, forget it.Sux. :-(

Yup, the honest truth (hope it doesn't affect my meager pension from there!).

By the nature of the chutes and belts that are used, boxes do get beat up.
Not that there isn't the occasional worker that just got dumped by his
girlfriend ... but overall, I found my co-workers to be respectful of the
packages.

When I ship (via anybody), I pack so that I feel comfortable dropping it or
even throwing it against the wall (within reason). Then I know it will arrive
safely.

Many speakers are repairable. Sometimes speaker coils can be re-centered or
similiar repairs. There are still alot of old speaker cones around, if it
needs to be reconed. Speaker repair is oftentimes discussed on
rec.antiques.radio+phono.

I'm afraid I don't understand this logic. You pay for 3-day delivery.
You get 3-day delivery. Just because UPS won't give you service above
that for which you paid you will never do business with them again?
This is like saying you won't go back to a particular car wash because
they refuse to give you the $8 wash, wax and detail when all you paid
for was the $4 wash and dry.

Noooooooo. I wouldn't do that. That'd be pretty mean and vindictive, and it
don't have anything to do with you.

Sure Frank. If you know how to do it. If it was a simple as nail polish on it,
I could do that. But I've had my left arm ribbed open from my tricep down to my
forearm and it jerks all by itself and aches like a ______----you figure out
the word.

Now they want to fix their boo-boo. And I'm left handed by the way, the one
they severed up like a pie. What originally was supposed to be a 2-3" scar..4
at the MOST tuned into a foot. Reason: Well, Mr____, when we got in there, it
was a 'little' worse than we had thought....lol.....yeah, it sure feels and
looks like it.

Rant done:-I

I could give hundreds of analogies that would make that seem silly, but it's
late and time time to get off here. I guess it's just me, IF I worked there and
I saw this package sitting there for three days and it was the last stop or
second to last, that'd make it get there a day earlier. I'd send it.

I know me, I'd send it. Because' they' paid for ground shipping (which is a
long story) and I was rushed by 'someone.' They wouldn't trust me to send the
next day the amount for priority shipping and shipped it off without getting
back with me on it.

Like I said before, as a customer you don't have rights anymore, they say you
do. You must fight tooth and nail, you HAVE TOO trust me on this, I wouldn't
make it up but I'm not going to get into things I've run into that was FLAT OUT
wrong and NOT my fault in the least. But you have a choice.

You don't like my choice? That is fine, you're not me,
so....................:-)
