Default How NOT to ship McIntosh



Because this:


This what my cousin received after purchasing the integrated off eBay. The item was coming from Texas to the Bay Area, CA. What MORON ships a delicate piece of audio gear that weighs in excess of 75lbs in THAT?!?!

I'm sure that will buff out.....

/sarcasm off

I am at a loss for words and I feel like a small piece of me inside has died!!! I hope your cousin falls under the eBay protection plan as I doubt the seller is going to be good hearted on a loss this large.. Make sure you let us know how it works out for him.

Fug!!!! That’s partially why I don’t want to ship my stuff to audio classics for refurb. I have original boxes for some of my stuff but it’s still sketchy to ship. UPS says 2 inches of padding on all sides of an item for insurance coverage. Found that out the hard way when shipping a train transformer worth $500.
