Will what do you mean "mangled" by UPS? Did they run over you computer or something?

Same thing happened to my computer, sort of, when I shipped it with UPS - when I got it somehow they had managed to knock the CPU chip out its slot!!! Anyways, problem was easily fixed but boy was I mad about that!

NEVER - ship your PC. Man what were you guys thinking? If you have to ship something like that, you fill it full of foam or an old towel. They knock them around horridly. Besides I have had a lot of thing stolen while being shipped via UPS. We ordered four pistols for our shop once, two day delivery, when they arrived two weeks later, two of the four were missing, and the remaining two were missing their clips and barrels. UPS did not accept responsiblity for it, despite the fact that the shipment was IN THEIR CARE. Needless to say, I was not the only deal to have this happen. Since they were purchased via the business visa, visa covered the theft.

I ordered Dungeon Odessy and what I got was an empty wet evelop with a tire mark on it. Shrapnels great customer service handled the problem for me. Thank guys. I think that on was shipped FedX.

UPS, FEDX, USPS, none of them care about the package, all they care about is the quota to get the done. So ship at own risk now.

A friend told me this story. He was entering his place of work on Wall St. When he heard a *BANG*. He flinched and ran -- because it sounded like a gunshot. Again and again. *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

It was the UPS guy ... unloading computer monitors. He was delivering them, so I assume they survived.

Maybe they know something about packaging materials that we don't. Or just don't care.
