I had stuff packed at a UPS store arrive in many pieces too. Again UPS
stores are individual franchises and the quality of any service you get
is totally dependent on the store and the employee that packs it. UPS
doesn't run or operate any of them. It's just like going into a
McDonalds. The store owners are just paying for the right to use the
UPS logo more than anything. It may be great at one and garbage at another.
Besides I don't even understand your point. You would be the shipper and
you can pack it as well as you like. Are you saying you wouldn't be able
to pack it safely and so have to take it to a store ? I am not sure what
this has to to do with getting something from a ebay sale. I've got
stuff packed great from ebay sellers and then stuff just thrown in a box
with no padding at all. I mean nothing. Funny enough some of the
non-packed stuff has made it fine and some of the over packed stuff got
destroyed. Sometimes the greatest packing in the world won't save it.

No.
Ebay sellers who don't put any padding around an item are the worst.
UPS may not be the *cheapest* but what good is saving a few bucks on
shipping when the stuff arrives smashed beyond repair.
