I see we all have our HORROR stories. But MY experience is actually for the BEST service is SPEE-DEE Delivery. But they are a regional carrier only Wi,Mn, Ia and a little more. But I will say I've learned allot in 25 years of shipping parts............ packaging is 75% of most problems . (ya an NOS Cuda grill, wooden crate would be my way!!) This also applies to LTL! A crappy route driver 5% warehouse people that dont give a crap 20%. But at least w FED (UPS) also. the packege gets scanned at every stop point. USPS... when it leaves the initial post office... thats it. And only if you paid for that.
I've gotten other things from Tom, he sends priority mail. Cheap yes, but if you roll dice, you know sometimes you crap out. Of course I called him. Always a good guy to talk to has beeen my experience. He's gonna check into it.. priority mail... not much to check into, period! Meanwhile its october here in Wisconsin, oops I mean August just feels like oct. And I'd really like NIKKI out on the streets before the snow flys!
Hemiorange, thanks for the offer but you have already donnated to thjis project! THANKS AGAIN!!!!
