stevebasshead Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think the biggest issue here is the fact it was left on your door step. That's not delivered, that's abandoned! Def. stick a complaint in to the postal service/courier, they haven't fulfilled their contact. Actually, since the contract was between them and the seller you might need to ask the seller to complain too. As for the box, yes it's annoying and certainly not how I'd have packaged it either, but unless it was a rare pedal where the box was/would in future be seen as an asset I'd not worry about it myself.

ubit Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I blame his up bringing! Obviously has no class. I mean , parcel tape straight onto the box? How common! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) I've got OCD about stuff like this and it would rile me. I've built up a goodly collection of packing materials by keeping the stuff that's been sent to me by other BC'ers, so I've had good service from fellow members. Although I did receive a bass in a hard case once that had a weird pong to it, although my brand new Spector case smells like baby-sick, so there you go. Anyway, as long as the kit is all working and that is the main thing, but yes, I can see how this would take the shine off.

steve-bbb Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 disappointed frankly .... not with the pedal or packaging read the thread title and thought this was going to be some intriguing post with existential insight into errr something or other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronj279 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 As long as the pedal worked fine I wouldn't bother too much. Although as Discreet said, people do seem a bit relaxed with their packaging. I'd send a polite pm stating that the packing wasn't really suitable but thanks etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I once received a bass in a bin liner delivered by my hermes, which they left on my door step all day whilst I was at work iin full view of the main road into central London.... despite long odds to the contary, I arrived home and there it was, untouched and not a scratch on it.

[/quote] God, myHerpes are really crap. To the extent that if I'm buying something from BC I'll tell the seller that I would be happy with delivery by any means, EXCEPT for myHermes or Yodel. All couriers have scare stories associated with them, that's just statistics, but I've had proportionately more rubbish experiences with myHerpes than any other courier, with Yodel coming a close second.
