Quote Greg..

I think the post office employee's are "monkeys". Maybe so but they are well paid and "not peanuts".

I shipped my guitar once to Bob Seymore.Getting there was fine But when they shipped it back it took three and a half weeks to get it back. But I did get it back It was an LDG.

Mike, tell them to look in VERY LARGE TRUCKS

tell them to not bother looking in the little Jeeps and such..

I have the worst PO story in the world..in short my daughter sold a Shuttel PC on EBAY..$500..We sent it to the UK..MISTAKE..

$75 express insured..

yep ..lost..6 months later ..paperwork like the IRS..they finally conceeded and sent me the actual claim forms for me to get paid for the loss..

all of a sudden it shows up at a P/O about 3 towns away..I get a call..come pick it up..$75 return postage due.

I think not..
I went to get it, showed the boss all my paperwork..he gives me the box..which by the way is still in excellent condition..and I go home. I files a claim for the postage ony..

never heard from them again..

resold it..got paid..shipped it UPS a and all went well..

go figure

I sent a small PC for a trip to the UK and back..

what a guy...

The guitar had been found. It will be delivered to MSA today.

I feel more than a little foolish for panicing.

Mike,
Maybe woulda been better to just driven to TX, & hand delivered it. Less stress.LOL


Whew, glad it got there....Bill

I remember in 1979 I ordered a green laquer Emmons P/P 9-8 ,, I did not want it shipped by ground carriers because of (fear of damage)or getting lost, so I had flying Tigers private airline, fly direct from factory to Texas, when the pilot pulled it off the plane, I decided to look it over right then & there !! Glad I did !! there was a huge crack in front right under the Emmons logo, I just sent it back !! Emmons Rebuilt the guitar !!

Don't ship it by Fed EX. I bough a Sierra a few years ago from Bob Knight and FedEX dropped it, then let it set in a distribution center in Washington trying to figure out what to do with it, and all the time they were telling me it was out for delivery. They finally shipped it back to Bob.

I've had great success with FedEx GROUND. Has anyone tried DHL?
