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 |

is it just the ear? Isn't that part easy to replace?
I think it needs a little crate, but then it would have to go freight. |

That will buff right out...
FWIW I've found Fed Ex Ground or Home is cheaper, faster, and more reliable. |

With all do respect. You don't ship a 75lb+ transmission in a single wall box filled with Peanuts. You go an get some 1/8 in plywood and build container. Then put a box around it if you insist on shipping something like that UPS. Why not just put it on a pallet and send it by truck. Probably wouldn't have cost much more (if any) than UPS.

I STRICTLY SHIP FED EX!
UPS busted the ear off of my 901 two years ago. I stopped paying my bill till they settled the claim. I got the full value for it after a lot of BS. Fuck UPS....The only thing worse is the US Mail! |

I had a piece of vintage furniture shipped UPS in a 1/8" plywood box. when I got it you could tell it was obviously dropped on one corner from some height. totally smashed in and the furniture was ruined. UPS came out and took pics. they would not give any insurance money on it because of NON PROPER PACKING. the thing was crated, boxed, padded, etc.
