Shipper Suckie Packaging

newspaper>packing peanuts

i would agree with you there, as long as it's in there tight. i wad up a LOT of newspaper and pack it in there tight. so far i think thats the best way i've found to ship subs. but i still ad a little something extra something under the mag to pad it.

In the auction was it shipping? Or shipping and handling? Was insurance offered? Did you accept or decline insurance? If he offered it and you declined then its your loss if something happens to it. I give you the point that he should have offered a tracking number to you, but he probably had some way to track the item. I just shipped a package to Canada didn't ask for tracking, and the clerk pointed it out to me. I know anytime I send stuff back to manufacturer's I am automatically given a tracking number.

In other words.... if the sub is 100% ok, works perfectly, wasn't damaged, doesn't rub, etc. etc. Then I say let it go, don't buy from him again, or ask him/her to package the product better. Its pretty gey to get the sub you want, at a good price, and then leave negative feedback or even neutral feedback if the product still made it to you in a timely manner and in working order. If the sub is screwed up, then that can go to the part about insurance...if he offered it and you declined then the ball is on you, if you paid for insurance and he didn't provide it then the ball is on him.

I say maybe you send him a message saying his packing could be better and maybe offer some tips on how to improve it.

of course i still use something else to pad it. But i'm just saying that i'd rather have the shipper ship it to me with newspaper than stupid peanuts that gets everywhere.

The little bags of air, that you can use to package are the best!!

People get mad at me for having an extra charge for shipping on big heavy things but I use lots of foam floats and insta foam and that gets pricey. It makes the box solid and is a form fit you cant beat that. so far I have had good luck damage wise. (knock on woody). I add 3-10 bucks maybe 25 if I have to go get a skid and band it/shrink wrap it. local pick up is free. I think thats fair. Hit that guy with a neutral that is fair. a negative is a little much if it was hurt then negative for sure.

Well, if item was received in unusable condition due to packaging error AND he's didnt even use all the shipping funds you provided for insurance, etc... I would say he's obligated to buy you the exact same item and pay shipping out of his pocket. But since its ebay where every buck counts to every seller, this may be very unlikely.

Good luck

if nothing happened, who are you to say that he didn't ship it properly?

obviously it WAS shipped improperly, but its not like you payed for a specific shipping/packaging method. All you can really do about that is next time ASK how your seller will be shipping it and make sure he does it right, or maybe avoid buying from people you know don't ship well in order to avoid something actually getting fvcked up in shipping

neg feedback that bish

Take the box that he sent you, the way it was packaged, and use it as your #2 toilet for about a week. Then tape it up and send back to him and say "I was so impressed with your shipping, I wanted to give you an extra gift"

You'll probably go to jail, but it would be hilarious

dude has incredible feedback

I paid $30 and he shipped it like shit and saved $15. How would you feel if that happened to you? What if you bought a subwoofer and it was rattling around the box without protection?

I know many on hear would be unhappy if the sub they paid good money for barely got to them in one piece. They would also be upset that the $30 wasnt spent on properly shipping the item (plus insurance/tracking wasnt purchased).

this guy clearly knew what he was doing, he saved a few bucks but took a big risk with shipping the sub

how much did you pay for the woofer?

most of the time sellers mark down the price of the item and mark up the shipping to make it look like you got a deal

I know, I'm not disagreeing with any of that, and yea, its pretty gay...but unless something actually does go wrong, its up to you to make sure he packs and ships it the way you like, otherwise he'll just do whatever he feels like. Once again, if you had specifically made an agreement to pay a certain amount for a specific shipping quality, that'd be one thing, but if you dont specify what you want and make an agreement, he's not accountable unless something goes wrong
