UPS woes

For a really fun shipping experience, try the postal service for those delicate and heavy items - especially if you want to be able to claim it. Guaranteed breakage of 30% from what I've had experiences with them. If it can't be drop-kicked across the room in it's box and survive then USPS doesn't get even a 1 lb item. -----Original Message----- From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Jeff Hellige Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2001 8:40 PM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: UPS woes Well, UPS struck again. In the past they've managed to destroy any number of monitors, including a Tandy CM1 and a DEC VR201. Today a Blue/white G3 that I ordered arrived, packed in all the original styrofoam and stuff and they still managed to break the casing into numerous pieces. They must have really tossed it around to cause the damage that was done. Needless to say, in the future I'll be doing everything I can to avoid using UPS.
