Red Beard......shipped me my bad boy rebuild trans. He did a shrink wrap and even went the extra mile to have MBE aka Mail Boxes ETC, who is NOW a UPS agent to do the final pack. They used a single panel box and styro kernels.
It showed uop on time but had a dent in one side. I opened and took pics.....remember "I" was the subject of "HOW NOT TO SHIP" thread.....pulled it out and it looked fine. Took it up to my "914 garage" and then noticed that the trans rear mount was broken off....FUCK......asshole apes broke it AGAIN....... On my original claim.....6 weeks ago....I am STILL fighting those douche bags......made the mistake of ONLY claiming 300 insurance...... MORAL OF THIS STORY.......take pics, BEFORE and AFTER....or avoid these jerk offs completely.... When I was dealing with Crawford the Insurance Agents for UPS...they said that styro kerenels for a 70+ lbs product was inadequate..... FUCK UPS |

When I shipped my cylinder head to Texas, I bolted it to a piece of 1/2 in particle board. Then used 3 inch closed cell foam all around it Then I put another piece on top of the head. Surrounded all of it with news papers. Then took the box double lined the top and bottom and triple lined the sides. Then I put all of it together and wrapped the box with duct tape, then packing tape. I dona't care if UPS threw it out of their airplane that bow would have survived and my stuff would have arrived intact.
When I shipped Brant some door panels, I actually custom made a box out of the same cardboard that we pack 100lb bath tubs with. Over kill, Yes. But the items arrived unhurt. I will take the time to pack something right. |
