I wa pretty happy using USPS priority until I sent a BAT pre, double boxed to Canada a couple of weeks ago. Unit arrived with faceplate bolts sheared off, input selector pulled out of chassis (connects all the way thru to the rear). Now we'll get to see if they handle claims better than UPS.
UPS is in bed with the devil,
I sold my speakers recently and tried to ship them UPS, which has a maximum weight of 150 pounds. Since they came to me on another carrier who also has a 150 lb maximum, I figured I was good to go and they weighed about 150 pounds each.
I was quoted about $100 each on their website but it wouldn't allow me to actually schedule the shipment for some reason even though I have an account. I had to schedule it via the phone, so they charged me an extra $4 each for using a UPS operator in spite of the fact that the website wouldn't allow me to schedule it.
They picked them up but brought them back 5 days later because they were over weight by 16 pounds. They then sent me a bill for $10 for additional paperwork.
I got another bill tonoght for $50 for an excess weight charge.
They picked them up, drove them to the other side of town, held them for 5 days, brought them back, and charged me $270 to do so when the charge across the country was less than $200.
Yea, I know, it was my fault for being overweight, but this is ridiculous. UPS sucks!
