Nothing like this EVER! The HOLY GRAIL in NOS

[VintageMusclecar]

Frederick;

I use USPS exclusively, and they have yet to cause me any serious grief, which is in stark contrast to FedEx, UPS, and DHL. All 3 of the latter carriers have damaged numerous items in transit on me, and USPS has only damaged one item, and that was minor.

OTOH, I did get scammed for a substantial amount on a USPS money order by a lowlife scumbag in AZ...I turned him in for mail fraud, did all the USPS paperwork (and there was a bunch of paperwork to do!), jumped through all their hoops, and today, almost 2 years later, nada. On that note, the "guarantee" that's printed on the back of a USPS MO "guaranteeing" reimbursement in the event the MO is lost or stolen is worth about as much as the ink it took to print it.

Sad thing is, there is no way I've found yet to 100% "idiot-proof" or "scumbag-proof" any sort of transaction or transport situation like this. You just have to take all the precautions you can, cross your fingers and take your chances.

In my job position, I get involved in all sorts of shipping damage claims. From small parts orders to several hundred HP industrial/fire pump packages.

Every carrier, and I mean every carrier damages shipments.

Most common reason for denying a claim?

"It wasn't packaged properly?

Eric packages his stuff REALLY well...and I can find that scumbag if you want me to...

Hey Bruce, you hold him and let Eric "package him REALLY well!!"

That could be arranged!

Tempting as that may be, I'm not quite ready to put myself in the hoosegow over this scumbag.

Kinda makes one long for the days when matters such as this were settled the old-fashioned way...out behind the woodshed for a good old-fashioned "attitude adjustment."

Eric...I knew that already! Props to you for just letting it go...karma is a bitch though...so he'll get his...someday!
