, we've all had our experiences. My brother is in complete agreement with you regarding UPS. When they earn it, well then they deserve it. But as stated, they've all mucked it up from time to time. Just like you and me.... well at least me. And I'll tell you, you don't hear me standing on top of the mountain saying I could do better. I'm sure it's a daunting task.

You are spot on proper packing of a package goes a long way. A cardboard box loses 25% of its strength once it travels along the conveyor belts and trailers it pass to get to you. And shippers reuse those boxes all the time. and not to mention when packages are loaded in a trailer there is not a bunch of pillows in there therefore proper packing is key |

| I just had two crappy UPS experiences back to back. I sent a set of heads and intake from Vegas to Reno area not long ago. The managed to damage all of it. Then I recently sent 9 packages from Vegas to Ohio to myself. They can came back and basically doubled the shipping charges on each package with no explanation. But what ya gonna go. I have had fedex loose packages and USPS break stuff. ROll of the dice it seems sometimes.

| Few usp stories. They delivered my new blower to a neighbor two streets over when we ran TA/FC.Nice 6k present. In all fairness they did deliver two of the small whipple chargers that where meant for Spider man Larry McBride/ Not there fault. Whipple had addressed it to us. I ran whipple on dragster and dads name being Larry McBride. Actually UPS does not get credit for that. Shame because I was trying to figure out how to mount one on my truck,till they came to retreave them. The sound of my new FTI tq converter hitting the porch like a rock being thrown, did pi$$ me off. Then the one time I made a calim for item I did not receive. They said it was delivered and they would not deliver to that address any more..

With exceptions,customer service is a joke and will continue to decline with the rest of the nation. "For help go to our website", "for more help see our Q&A". Then throw in automated phone "service" with no option to speak with anyone and you are *****ed!

| I have the best luck by contacting the sender and complaining. They do have some power/influence on the shipper.

| The faster the UPS driver runs to the truck, the more messed you package is. I've met them at the truck before and asked to see the package before they unloaded it.
