Who wants to guess how the harddrives inside are?

Just a little off the top please




Either it got crammed on the conveyor belt or it was time for a resounding game of Fussball on the loading dock?


The water is centered and leaking from here:

Notice the nice tap job to try and fool me into thinking it was shipped like that and the contents didn't fall out.....oooohhhh.......ahhhhh....
 
maybe its like a car and its sopposed to crumple to absorb the blow..... ;) If a UPS guy delivered that to my door I would smack him and be like WTF where you thinking.
 
I would sent that shit right back and tell them you dont want to even open it, you want new stuff.
 
Well called UPS their response was we will pick it up in 2 days and if we decide it is damaged replace the item. :rolleyes: Next call is to staples to see if they will help out. I wonder what they other five boxes I have coming are going to look like.
 
I am an unloader for UPS. what prolly happened, the box was put under something too heavy for the box to hold it. when boxes get opened during shipping, we have to retape them. not trying to fool anyone. just trying to get you ur stuff but UPS is really good about replacing stuff or getting u a check for it.
 
On your box it says "Staples... That was easy"

Easy to do what? Smash your fucking BOX!!!!!1111

:p I know it wasnt their fault, but you know. We need transporters already lol
 
its really hard to take care of one box sometimes when you are moving 1300 an hour. my back feels it every night.
 
I got a grand worth of stuff coming form newegg, if it looks like that.... I will flip. :p

Good luck getting it fixed UPS should be good, I have read a few threads in here about UPS replacing stuff.
 
I can't figure out why they would even try to deliver it in that condition. The water seeping out was not a good sign.

Anyway Staples is making it all good. They told me to call up UPS and tell them to not pick it up instead Staples is courering me replacements tomorrow morning. Sweet staples policy........no offense ot the UPS people but there is a reason I don't use UPS.


Shakezilla you should be good as they say FedEx cheaper, faster, less shit destroyed.

An unloading grunt eh? I know what you've seen as I've worked for FedEx for 2 years...

Also what could have happened which I have seen at FedEx is it and another big box could have gotten jammed on the conveyor around a turn or corner on its way to the trucks or during routing. I've seen that countless times... happens when you unload trucks too fast.. lol
 
well its no telling what was in the box. and trust me fedex is no better than UPS. they both have HUGE volumes and this kinda stuff happens.

hell i had my subwoofers stolen off a fedex truck by a worker, put in his car, blown, and then shipped to me.

DHL is my fav. they have smaller hubs and less volume. and cheaper.

very true. my unload rate is 1350 packages per hour but my label rate is 95% so i have very few damaged packages coming off my truck.

Oh the horror stories about UPS from working retail I have......but this is my first personal item wrecked.

When I was in college the store I worked at had 12 Dreamcasts swipped when they were brand new releases, then the same during both XBOX(well they came 2 to a box so only 8) and PS2(6).........all by UPS. Nothing like release day and being short 6 PS2's :eek: UPS gave us a lot of shit about it and it was months before they ponied up the money. Then there were the just plain mangled PS2 and XBOX's we used to get not to mention boxes of games. Not sure why but waterlogged speakers were also common.

On the flip side we used FedEx for overnight delivers and had very few problems. Although once we got a box that had to.....had to have been chewed through by something. It was an overnight package and somehting had time to chew threw it :confused:

You're kidding, Right ? :eek: :eek:

I'd like to hear how you figured that mess out, not to mention how the worker explained himself. :rolleyes:

i actually went to the hub and they tracked my package to the very truck and who had run that truck that night. it was a truck driver, an unloader, and a security guard. they had been doing this for some time but i made them investigate the hub. i had my lawyer call from here and the shipper in CA had her lawyer call too.
 
A year and a half ago, I had an issue with UPS as well, I shipped my tower to school and the box got smashed up along the way, resulting in a damaged case and damaged parts.

They cut me a check for brand new upgrades, no questions asked.
 
If you refuse the package when it arrives, I believe it would be up to Staples and UPS to hash it out. That's what I would have done. It just sucks knowing you'd have to wait a month or so to get your package back.






Holy shit that's funny. "That was easy" written on the side of a box that got pwned. :p

Sorry.

The problem was the package was a drop and run move by the UPS guy. No sign for, no knock just drop and go. Staples is supposed to have a courier here before 4 with the replaceemnts and to pick the destroyed ones. They can fight with UPS.

Ahh, the old drop and run, that sucks. FedEx did that to me once with a new guitar I ordered. I saw that it was out for delivery so I kept a vigilant eye out for them. Nothing came, and finally around 4:30 I checked the website again and it said Status: delivered 12:00PM Signed by: Back door. I flew downstairs and found they left it in the back porch withouth knocking. :mad: I had to leave for work soon after...bastards. :mad:


Anywho, it's cool that Staples was so good at shipping replacements so quickly.

Not if the drives no longer work...........and then I get to wait for them to decide if it is damaged, cut me a check, order new ones, and wait for those to be delivered. Since i need this to be done by Friday....that ain't going to work.

Well if the drives are working then that wouldn't be very honest on my part.
