The UPS Store has "lost" my bass!

[tommyr01]

That's nice, I'm happy for you.
And he's a douche...

I am so releived for you.... I've been biting my nails waiting for a good outcome.......I sooooo agree with Ziltoid....that guy is a class A
Douche !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Indiana Mike]

Good deal!

UPS should be pissed off. He's running a less than professional business with their name plastered on it.

 

[thebasssponge]

thats great news

I think he was covering for someone also.
You did the right thing by applying pressure the correct way.

I think I would still be talking to UPS Corporate and telling them what transpired when you recovered the bass, he needs to be held accountable in some manner for his actions and if that means losing his franchise then so be it.

Oh man, that is so awesome. I love it. So happy you got it back. I would report what transpired to UPS Corporate. Regardless of whether you got the bass back, this douche did not do the right thing in any capacity, right down to there being no apology for the trouble. This dude needs to lose his franchise affiliations. He did you a favor by banning you, not that I think you'd even offer one penny more his way. Spread the word, as you have here.

 

[Doodaddy]

Should have followed him home and threw a molotov through his living room window. He knew where the bass was the entire time.

Where is this store located?

That was a great wee, Sunday morning, suspense thriller read! So glad it worked out for you and I'm really sorry for your loss in not being able to use this UPS store again!

Where is this store located?

Since I'm pursuing corporate action against the store, I don't want to name the specific store right now.

I've probably shipped 20 basses this store. I can't believe the way he acted. He certainly hasn't heard the last from me.

 

[DWBass]

he said "just come get your **** bass.

He just shook his head and said "I don't owe you any answers. I told you not to call the cops. Now UPS corporate is pissed at me!"

I opened the case and there it was, in perfect condition. All of my internal packing was still in place. The owner started to leave, and I asked him where my refund was. He says "it's in the envelope, stupid" and then said "you're banned from my store for life!!!!"

Firstly, I'm very happy you have your bass back!

But I have to give it to you my bass playing brother, you sir are a better man than I am! I would have been in his @$$ from that first statement! Seriously woulda punched him dead in the mouth!

But, I'm glad you have the bass back!

 

[L-A]

Glad to hear you got it back.

And I think that you're right by supposing that Corporate UPS would be very interested in learning that a store owner deals their business in such a personal and non-professional way. This is seriously unacceptable.

 

[Wraithwrider]

Tuned down half a step and a pick was in the case?

Just goes to show you can't trust those Metal bass players

Pleased for you that you got it back.

 

[guy n. cognito]

I've discovered the the recorder on my iPhone works very well. I recorded the whole conversation.

You sneaky you.

 

[pacojas]

congrats "guy"!!! this story made me sick. the owner is in deep **** if even an envelope is mis-placed and reported so i wouldn't invest too much emotion on this.
if you see him in public,... call him a thief and embarress his ass!!! gl.

 

[bongomania]

High five, dude!

I have a Fodera winging it's way toward me right now. I should have never opened the thread, I think I might get a stress ulcer now.

What he said. The store manager, at very least, is covering for a thief. Be sure the let UPS corporate know exactly what transpired there. That place has no business keeping their franchise.

Same here, well, not a Fodera, but other than that.

 

[anyonefortennis]

Glad you got the bass back and that you are not done dealing with this dirt bag.

"UPS is pissed at me" - They better be. Something is fishy. If you are going to keep pushing this on the civil side, I hope the security tapes show up so you can see exactly what happened.

 

[mike_v_s]

My guess is that someone in the store took the bass and was using it. I've used this store alot in the past, and I know that many of the owner's family members work there, so I'm guessing he's covering for one of them.

Based on what you've said, I'd say that seems right.
