Just Wondering about Shipping

[jvondeylen]

I have had a handful of good deals: buying, selling and trading drivers on incepta here. I recently traded with a incepta member about 2 weeks ago. I got my shaft in 4 days and he hasnt got his. It went USPS Parcel. I live in Ohio and he lives in S.carolina. Has anyone had any problems  with shipping. I Was told cause of the bad weather in kentucky etc... I just dont want a bad name on here.And of course the post office isnt much of help. thanks Jake

always buy insurance....sometimes it gets lost or damaged...label may have fallen off....if it was regular usps...with no confirmation or insurance...you probably wont see it again...

I live in Michigan and have had big problems with USPS, don't give up though man, one time I bought something from Chicago, and it was suppose to take 7 days, and I didn't see it until 3 weeks later.

I ship out ot Northern Ohio daily-USPS
always at least get 'Delivary Confirmation'  costs .75 cents and you can track it-also 2 day Priority mail isnt much more than other methods and worth the money-the longer it floats around out there the worse it is
during the last storm we had there was a delay with UPS and a few others but it was only 1 day so it should have arrived

another reason to use UPS. if at anytime they cannot track your package you get a refund on your shipping.
it will however arrive broken or damaged.

one more thing I shoulda added about shipping ups...used to work there.
this goes for anything you ship.
the big thing is make sure that your package is well filled up. any package that can be crushed a bit will become a wedge package which is stuffed at the end of each stack of boxes and the wall to keep everything tight. Most packages like a golf club would come in get tossed in on top of all the box walls so make sure it would crush on its end or anything like that. If you have a nicely shaped solid heavy box make sure it is solid because it will be a starter box or cornerstone box to start a wall....meaning every box will be stack on top of it.

also people are super sloppy when scanning boxes and a ton of stuff gets miss sorted or skipped all together. and last time I checked if they cant locate you package at anytime then your shipping gets refunded. I look everyday at my tracking info.
