You might want to forgo FedEx shipping if at all possible.

Ouch!! What are the odds that that computer monitor landed in one piece? My guess... zero. lol

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

All the best, Mike

If UD sends his Pa3x back to whence it came via FedEx it might end up shorter and it will fit in his car.

124,

Love the song. Today, I received two overnight deliveries, one UPS and one FEDEX. Both were shipped on the same day from the same supplier--Shari's Berries. The FEDEX box arrived without a scratch at 9 a.m.. The UPS box arrived two hours later and I think a truck drover over the box before delivery. Fortunately, the company that supplied the items packed them extremely well thus the merchandise was not damaged.

Hi Gary,

Yep, I've had good and bad experiences with various shipping companies. Luck of the draw, I think.

Cheers, 124

I received two damaged Audyas before UPS could get me one without a gaping hole in the side of the box.

BTW: I purchased a dozen berries each for my wife, daughter, and daughter-in-law. They are beyond a doubt the best tasting, chocolate-covered strawberries I've ever tasted. I was able to taste one before ordering that one of my ADs received as a present last a couple weeks ago and know my ladies will love them. You can find them at Shari's Berries

Cheers,

Gary cool

FedEx only for me ... at least if it's fragile. They are 100% so far with me, and UPS is about 50%

When technics pulled the plug I sold and shipped three of my technics boards to Walt Tenay in N. Carolina after UPS packed and shipped them from their store in San Jose. One was destroyed, one was barely repairalble, and one had only minor damage.
