If anyone asks me for a mouthpiece, euphonium, small tuba, etc., please expect to have it delivered by FedEx Ground, or anyone OTHER THAN U.P.S.
last shipment:
- $2400 French horn / due there Friday / has been bouncing back and forth between Maryland (destination state) and North Carolina...so far three times.
- $1000 bass trumpet / due in southern California / incorrectly routed to northern California...so far three days late
- 3 new professional model trombones / due in Maryland / ???
****************
All of the above items taken by me DIRECTLY to the MAIN U.P.S. DEPOT here in the city.
***************
Further, AT LEAST THREE TIMES U.P.S. has REFUSED to pay for damage that they did on very well packed FULLY INSURED cartons...two of them were in the FACTORY CARTONS. I remember two of them specifically: a new Conn 8D French horn and a like-new Bach Stradivarius 42B-O trombone (badly-folded bell flairs on both)
