Daddy Dee Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Michael, Wow, you ought to frame that. UPS should frame it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think I should frame it as well. There is no excuse for this at all, if they try and make me pay some brokerage charges ( X 3 !!! ) I will tell them to go @#%^ their hat.

Islander Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Michael had an extreme case (I wonder how they'll try to explain multiple border crossings?), but UPS is trouble more often than not. My Dx-38 arrived this afternoon. I told the dealer specifically to use FedEx, not UPS, but they did anyway, with the shipping guy claiming that nobody told him. The brokerage fee was $66, while FedEx doesn't charge a brokerage fee at all. That was in addition to the shipping charge and taxes, of course. Just to improve my mood, although I asked and was assured that the unit would come with a power cord, it came without one, although the XLR cables that I ordered and paid for were included. Driving across the border to pick something up takes time and money, but you just wind up tired, not pissed off. A fair trade, most of the time.

Daddy Dee Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Islander, $66 is an amazing difference in cost for shipping across the border. Michael, So have you gotten it yet? This shipment should be sending postcards from the travel itinerary. more excellence from DHL: Yesterday I stayed home to be here for a signature required dhl shipment from dell. Now I'm wondering if I should stay home today as well, since it didn't arrive yesterday as indicated on tracking. I don't want to suggest that this spoiled my day. I've given up going around being mad about things beyond my control. Just reporting more experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Be interesting if they stay on the north side of the border this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reporting more experience. A good and healthy attitude, DD, even if it can be difficult at times. As for me, I've given up on worrying. Many years ago, I realized that worrying was unproductive and actually made me less able to deal with whatever crisis was impending. Accordingly, now I just prepare as best I can and deal with what happens. Less stressful and more effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
