[quote name='warwickhunt' post='202278' date='May 19 2008, 05:12 PM']Big fat -1 for UPS from me... f*cking t*ssers! I paid for a bass to be shipped to Romania (nearly £100) and duly organised collection from my parents house as I am at work; they then proceeded to screw up the collection TWICE (didn't collect on the day promised and then the next day went to the wrong address). However, that isn't the worst part! I have just received a 'loaded' PM from a Warwick.de forum MOD (who was helping out the buyer as his English wasn't too good) saying that the delivery has been made but the buyer had to pay 1000 RON (about 290euro/£230) as payment for the delivery! I've contacted UPS and they assure me that they have a record of me paying for collection and the recipient shouldn't have paid a thing BUT how does this make me look? I'm just a tad irrate right now but for me UPS want shafting![/quote] [quote name='thylacine23' post='230140' date='Jun 30 2008, 10:42 PM']Heres my review on UPS, Thought Id try em, as the drummer I play with works for them, says their good,and appear to be a pro company, ect, and they do charge a bit,!!!!!. First up, send a bass to Ealing, go online, make an account, measure and weigh bass, book a collection time, and pay. wait in all day,,,,,,, try to phone, hmmmm, not much joy, as my collection day/slot got lost, in the internet, no probs, lots of apoligies, they will collect tommorow........Grrrrrrrr, anyways THREE VANS arrive !!!!! five minutes apart,,,, Bah. Bass sent, and arrived ok, though a day late..... Cost £32.00, inc insurance...... Second Bass, Phoned for collection this time, payed over the phone, £36.00 inc insurance, seems ok, surely. destination, Falkirk, bass collected, Monday, and on its way, then dissapeared for four days ,,!!!!!!!!!!! Gone,,,, WTF.... Many phone calls to many in fact, much anger from the guy I sold it to, he beleives me to be a right ++++ er ups cant find it ect, and so on,,,,Saturday morning, turns up at the customers house, out the blue,,,, no response or any sense from ups,,,,,,,as to why how and maybe what,,,,,, no more UPS for me........ T~~~ssers.. il use anyone but, from now on. Finished, have I heck, a month later, I get an invoice for a extra £66.32 !!!!!!!!!!!! Due to, "VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT SIZING", Even I couldnt dream that one up,,,,,and have to pay .......within the next four weeks...... My response, :brow: took two days to sort that out, all done, thankyou.......UPS I WILL USE YOU AGAIN, NOT. [/quote] Believe it or not... UPS have now sent me a bill for £200+ for the delivery of the bass to Romania Yes the same one that I paid for and then they tried to charge the recipient for, WTF are they playing at? If it's possible for me to neg UPS again for the same transaction then please make it so!

Recently bought, i'm not an expert on basses by any means. Paid £420 for it but I'm willing to let it go for £350.[/quote] Nice bass, I'm appreciating the red gloss finish on Warwick basses more and more, especially with flame maple.
