Another Edinburgh dweller but originally from N. Ireland Greetings!

Problem discovered. The amp is still in the depot - the package couldn't be read by the x ray machine. No suggestion that they forward it to their main sorting office over land for scanning then sent onwards. No logic in logistics it seems. It makes you wonder why no one from UPS got in touch and instead it took over a week to get an answer. UPS will be getting a complaint letter for sure. I may pass it over to my mate who loves writing a good complaint letter It's going overland to it's new home so fingers crossed it get there by Feb!!!

Thanks Dave. The address was taped in place and the package had the original printed packaging label and a hand written version just in case.

The thing is one parcel got delivered the next day no problems. I hope to get an update tomorrow.

Yeah two items were uplifted and maybe he, UPS guy, has thought they were both the same order? No receipt was offered at point of uplift so my hope is that its sitting somewhere with guys scratching their heads thinking where did this come from. Although one scan of the packing label would given them a fairly decent idea! It's currently under investigation with UPS (oops more like!)

So I agreed a sale with a very nice fellow here on BC. I arranged shipping of said amp to him in Holland. The people from UPS came and uplifted the amp along with a cab which was headed down south. Next day I get confirmation that the cab has arrived safely, and quickly to its new home and a look at the tracking info for the head reveals the message that it had not been uplifted and thus rescheduled. I contacted the couriers (Interparcel working as the agent, UPS their 'delivery partners') I kept the recipient informed and we both put it down to logistics. Fast forward two days later and the amp is nowhere to been seen and UPS are commencing an investigation. Mine and the recipents worst fear is that the parcel has been swiped! The amp in question is a quite a rare beast so should be easily spotted if seen in your local crack convertors. It's an Aguilar DB 359 all tube head serial number 629. It was cased i a brand new Spider brand black 2U soft case. We are both hopeful that a simple logisical error is the problem and that the amp shows up after the weekend but it's better to put the work out just incase. I can only presume it went to the Glasgow UPS depot and I'll be taking a trip over to Glasgow and trawling the 2nd hand places to be sure it hasnt surfaced. If you notice or hear of an Aguilar DB 359 going cheap please let me know via PM and I'll get to work. If you suddenly notive your local CC with one again let me know and I'll get on the case or if you can provisionally reserve it if the serial number/description matches. Thanks iun advance folks and if the mods wish to move this to a Lost/Stolen thread be my guest. Gavin

Mauricio bought an amp from me. From the outset we had good communications and Mauricio was always swift with his responses. I had no hesitation whatsoever at any stage of the process. Payment was swift and everything happened when Mauricio said it would. Deal with confidence!

Pete bought a cab. We had a nice phone chat and got everything agreed and sorted. Payment came when Pete said it would and the whole thing was a hassle free process.

The God of Thunder bought a pedal from me befitting of his regal stature. He was quite nice about the whole affair. My livestock remain unmolested and my local village un-pillaged! Ahh to know people in high places!
