Some not so good experiences with UPS (via Parcel2Go) this week:
The bass was bubble wrapped and put in a decent (new) ABS case, then the whole case was bubble wrapped and then
boxed in cardboard with plenty of packing tape. The carriage cost about £60, which included £700 cover.
Long story short - a corner of the ABS case has been fractured, and the case lid has been warped slightly.
So not only has the box been dropped (or thrown) on it's end, but there's also been other heavy packages
been piled on top of it at some point.
Fortunately the bass itself was undamaged, but I've opened a claim.
Not chuffed.
