[Alpines] AVOID UPS

[cmeinel464 at aol.com]

Marc et All,



Now lets look at this situation from the other side:  I've had a Ebay store
now for about three years and on a few occasions people say they didn't
receive or the part was broken on delivery. In either case we simply confirm
address and reship.  We always use the postal service and they are great, we
track everything showing that the part was delivered.

But, sometimes things got nuts, people give you the wrong address or parts are
left in their garage etc.  I just had a box returned from Austria that was
shipped on August 30th. Improper address, but the address is correct to what
was provided by the customer.  He has emailed me on many occasion accusing us
of taking his money and not shipping the item. Vendors as well as customers
must be able to track items sent. This way everyone is accountable.

In this particular case, after contacting PayPal, re contact the vendor and
insist on a tracking number, if he can not supply one he most likely never
sent it.

Best regards,

Curt Meinel

One large step along the way is to avoid the
shady ladies, UPS and FedEx, and to stick with
the very reliable Postal Service. The only
significant problems I have ever had have been
with UPS. I insist on USPS and have never had a problem.

Go with the pros. Avoid the shady ladies.
