My new Rocknroller R10 cart was shipped via UPS. The box had two holes where the axles had punched through. One of the end caps was broken. It had to be handled EXTREMELY roughly to do this.
Nothing serious, but another reason not to trust anything valuable to UPS, in my opinion.

If this is true, I would think someone could sue their you-knows off for false advertisement. Really. Are you sure?

Hmmm... I used to ship a ton of stuff... if what you say is true, then why are those big planes loading out every night for UPS and FedEx? What do you know about this that I don't know?

I used the factory box and used more packing material then the factory uses. I also double boxed it by placing the factoy box inside another box. UPS tried every way to avoid paying for damage that was their fault. I will not use them for expensive equipment.


Did they eventually pay? If not... I'd sue them in small claims court.

Your story makes it to where you'd best take pictures of each packing step you do when you pack the box for expensive items.
