i know exactly what you mean, i had a diffusre i got off tim once before, and shipped ups, the darn thing was completely bent in half. and had several creases in it. all from ups not tim. and i let tim know, and he shipped me another one no problem at all. that says alot for tim, and one reason i respect him.

Yes Tim is a good man! I say we nominate him for business person of the year... Everything was packed all nice and safe.. Only thing that was broke was a mirror.. I found out the hard way.. I was digging one out of the bag and came across 1 of 50 pieces to a mirror..

I happen to be a servant of this particular beast and yes I know how badly some packages get treated. Things get stuck in belts and drives and etc. Looks like it got caught in a jam coming down the conveyor. I always go for insurrance when I can where UPS is concerned.

Look on the bright side!



The person that did that to the box, obviously broke the mirror, so they will now have 7yrs bad luck! And they won't even know why! lol

I'm happy to say everything I've ordered from Tim has arrived without incident [^]
I have received busted up shipments from UPS before, and it does suck! [}:)]

Im not a big of UPS either. I sent a saber just recently and the box was cut almost completely in half. The cut went almost all the way through one if Tim's 1/8" blades. I can only imagin how that happend. Then to make it worse they wouldnt cover the damage.

LOL!! I didn't thikn about that UPS employee having 7 years bad luck.... I think it's just the UPS places near me that they treat packages like crap... It seems like whenever they go through Indiana or I believe Kentucky or Tennessee they beat them.. The stuff out of New Jersey usually gets here OK. I'm going to say about 1 out of every 3 is beat up... Between me and my brother ordering stuff the UPS guy says we're one of the most visited residents here in town..
One day I had a package come and no one was home and the garage door was open and he sat the packages in the garage and closed the garage.. LOL!

[james3]

I have had banged up stuff as well and I am guessing it is more of a problem with transportation then anything else. When something is shipped ground it has more time to get damage. I would also bet that with all the packages bundled on a pallet riding in a 48 foot trailer across country there would be more stress on the boxes with the constant shifting. Think of it this way, you sit on a box once it will hold but it weakens it, now do that 500 times and all the sudden the box is in rough shape. Just a thought.

So far I have been in reciept of perfect goodies inside so the box can look like whatever, but I feel for you guys having to deal with broken stuff.

<font size="3"><font color="blue">Maybe I'm lucky that, so far, I've only ordered stuff that fits in a fairly small box, and it's just coming straight down the Pacific Coast.

I'm a little worried about ordering more blade tubes and a diffuser though. I'll have to make sure Tim puts the diffuser inside one of the poly C tubes though I'm sure he'd think of that himself.</font id="blue"></font id="size3">

[xwingband]

Tim did that for me (put the diffuser inside the tube) so I'm sure he does it on all... I thought it was a nice thought. Not that I needed him to, but I bet it would help. Now if they bent PolyC, then you could be [:(!].

[shiky]

The same thing happened to me! my box came today and it was all bent around the bottom.. disgusting. but thank god everything is fine... just putting it together now... gotta find my soldering iron.

[james3]

My guesstimate on this being a bad batch coming out of Washington. Every order I have done has come on the day predicted by UPS, my current order that is in route is already late and it looks to be either tomorrow or Thursday. Again just a guess but if I have a beat up box I will let ya'll know.

[Darth Neophyte]

Well my newest order is being shipped by USPS Priority mail..
I found out shipping is a lil cheaper that day and it will arrive in 3 days for me, not a week..

[xwingband]

I got a mcmaster's order today... two things. mcmasters sent a 4'x 2' film in a huge box instead rolling it up. This caused it to crease because of the way it was packed (sans any padding in said huge box). Then what didn't help was that it looked like UPS had punched the box. Holding a light film and no padding it messed it up nicely.

Mcmasters is getting a nice e-mail because the film is darn near unusable.

You guys will like this one I had a 2nd day air package for my work and by 6pm yesterday when I left work it was not here, when I got home I meet the UPS driver that dilevers to my home with the package for work because the sorry driver that delivers to my work just couldn't make it before I left for the day so he passed it off to this guy to cover his but.

this is why i despise UPS so much, either theyre always late, and/or package is damaged too. i alwayd get packages delevered to me usps in 3 to 5 days, mostly in 3 days. and ive not had a damaged item ever. not so with UPS the ultimate package slackers.
