I shipped two of my Ensoniq Keyboards back and forth between Home in San Jose, California and Malvern, Pa. via ups, well insured, hoping they would get lost or run over. No such luck. One round tripped once and the other twice and no problem. Cheap too at about 40.00 each way.
Now Shipping parts from my business to customers around the world is an entire different ballgame. I almost needed a full time insurance agent. However the advantage of this was that more often then not we sold the parts twice. Once to the customer and once to UPS. That was profitable

hey tom,

its ok........you can take your hands off the keyboard now :>)

I had a good friend who worked for UPS as a supervisor. He claimed it was the influence of the union that killed the company's good will. Between the strikers annoying commercial customers, and not boosting salaries for non-union temps and staff, bad attitude is the rule, and not the exception. UPS is swiftly becoming OOPS.
FedEx is still non-union.
Forget USPS - civil servants! Need I say more.

Zuki,

Good luck on your troubles. I was an organ tech for ten years. I live in Muskegon. If you have to, you can order a new case for it, bring it to Muskegon and I will swap the guts for you. Free.

I have just had my own problems with a courier.

We Purchased a transparency scanner for work costing £2500. It was tested and shipped out to us on guaranteed next day delivery. It eventually arrived 8 days later in a battered box. It did not work.

The supplier was able to replace it the next day and I personally travelled to pick it up.

On a happier note I get my shiny new PSR1000 on Friday - yippee!!

WOW!!! .. now THAT'S Special Delivery !!!

PS: .. no wonder TomTom's fingers stuck to the keyboard .....
