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.
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.
