I bought a new bass on Reverb... (nah, naah, na, na, nah) from the other side of the globe... (nah, naah, na, na, nah) International shipping... (nah, naah, na, na, nah) Takes way too long... (nah, naah, na, na, nah) Check the tracking each minute... (nah, naah, na, na, nah) For some progress...

hello one and all! i'm wondering if anyone could advise how i should proceed in this nightmarish situation i've found myself in. haven't really been able to find anything conclusive here or elsewhere (my search skills are also lacking, in fairness). long story as short as i can make it: i...

I'm selling a bass and can't decide between shipping UPS or FedEx. This will be a domestic USA shipment. What say you?

Have yet to receive an order from Sweetwater on time when using their free shipping. Will get an Email from FedEx with a delivery date. Delivery date arrives, but no package. Check the FedEx updates and it isn't even in my State yet. Last Delivery was scheduled to arrive on December 1st. Didn't...

I am going through a kind of sticker shock at the prospect of shipping some basses for sale if and when they sell. FedEx is the easiest to ship from. Since when have basses been shipping out for way over $100? A test quote for a 11 pound standard guitar/bass box from CA to Maryland was as...

I've always used UPS for shipping until last year when FedEx added a discount to my account. So I started using them. Recently, it seems every time I use FedEx, the shipment takes an additional day or two, no matter if I'm sending or receiving. It's frustrating to follow the tracking info...

MODERATOR NOTE: The company reached out to the site's Help Desk and asked that we announce that they do not, in fact ship bass guitars, and that the information that they did was a mistake. So closing this: "We are in the business of shipping bicycles and bicycling equipment and not bass...

This may be slightly off-topic since it’s not directly related to amps and cabs, but it has the potential to impact their price, especially for small cab builders and people selling here in the classifieds or elsewhere online. UPS, FedEx Fees on Heavy Packages to Hit Consumers and Merchants...

I'll keep this short as possible and it's nothing to do with anything bass related but I read constantly threads about shipping woes so here is another of mine. A while back I posted a thread about a pair of pants I had ordered and it was shipped from Florida to Georgia then to Kansas then for...

Burned a vacation day today so I'd be home for delivery of my Marusczyzck Svoboda 5 fretless. Driver left a "delivery attempted" tag on the door without bothering to knock or ring the (bleep)ing bell! AAAaaarrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gave customer service an earful.

I'm trying to find out the limits of liability for FedEx Ground is the item was damaged. I recall reading somewhere that they limit guitars over 20 years old to $1000, but that was from a 2010 PDF. Googling around and searching FedEx's site hasn't got me anything. I guess my search phrasing is...

Ordered a new Ibanez SR405EQM in Dragon Eye. Here’s what I recieved - severly damaged. Rear strap button push in to the body flush and the bridge was mashed into the body so bad that the strings were laying on top of the pickups.. rediculous! I expect this out of UPS but have never had a bad...

This isn't any sort of rant but just a question regarding a shipment I'm waiting on. I ordered two bass cabinets and this morning I found out they are in Independence Kentucky which is a suburb of Cincinnati. They went from Memphis to Nashville and then to Cincinnati. I'm in Louisville. I...

I need to ship a tuba I sold on Ebay, just finished packaging it in a 34x20x15 box, weighs about 26 lbs. The shipping fee is about the same for both USPS Priority and FedEx Home Delivery (USPS is $5 more). What service would you trust more in regards to package handling/potential damage?

Fedex damage

It was down to this one and the Rumble 40. Running both clean and tone controls straight up, I preferred the tone of the Ampeg over the Rumble. Another aspect of choosing was one that could do double duty as a practice amp for my son and his guitar. It's nice to be able to hear his practice...

I just found out, as of June 1st, FedEx now charges an AHS Additional Handling Surcharge for packages longer/taller than 48". I shipped a guitar in a Reverb box in April for $27. I shipped a gig bag on Friday, in the same sized box, and the charge was $38.00 due to the AHS fee. Just...

I have a minty Genz Benz Shuttlemax 9.2 I just picked up today from local FedEx office. Expecting a delivery for a new Ibanez SR805 anytime. Sucks looking at my new amp and not be able to try it out without a bass.

Bit of a rant, mostly a warning. Having a bit of a nightmare shipping a couple of cabs. My house recently flooded and everything in my life is upside down. I sold a couple of prized cabs to help with some of the expense. As I can't find anything (everything is boxed up) I used a bunch of...

I am enraged. I sold an Ampeg SVT-IIPro Tube head and SKB rack to a fellow TB'er for a Mesa Walkabout head and $425 cash (basically 825.00). I shipped via FedEx Ground and purchased $700 insurance with the cost of shipping (total shipping and insurance was $119.60). Item was shipped on 12/28...

Have mercy! Been waitn' on the box all day! Have mercy! Been waitn' on the box all day! I got my amp warmed up and some Chic-fil-a! Stop Whoa Whoa wait a minute Mr.Postman Whoa oh oh oh Mr.Postman, look and see. Is there a bass guitar for me?????

I admit I was pissed off at Fender and wasted everyone's time here with my rant. I should have known better to respect everyone's time. It all ended well - the gift arrived on in time for Christmas, so I'm done. I apologize and wish all a Happy Everything!
