Default Kinda sad story for my lady :(

Don't bust out the tissues or something. Installed Sony 1621s on her car ('97 Kia Something-er-Other) but they were broken. Got a free replacement from Crutchfield.com which arrived today......

Look at this

It seems like UPS used my box for the intro to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Part of this I blame on crutchfield.com. If they padded speakers with those little S Styrofoam things, that damage really shouldn't have occurred, but this will not hinder purchasing from them at all.

I got the mailbox people to certify that the box was in extremely poor condition (after they wrote down 'fair') with the managers Sig+Name. I hope they didn't do anything with it.

On another note, I just got a computer part via FedEx in mint condition

Man, UPS really did a number on that box. How can that much damage be done to that small of a box??

Luckily there was nothing wrong with the speakers. The box is amazingly destroyed. Oh well, at least everything is working fine.

Same here. Most places that do a lot of shipping way overpack their goods to minimize damage from the UPS/FEDEX "system", careless handling, and weather related problems. I've only had one item that was at all damaged in shipping, and it was no big deal.

Forrest2b: How old are you? Your lady (girlfriend?) looks to be about 16. Just curious!

You don't wanna call me out, you'll just be waiting outside for a long time
So is her plate 2YNG4HM ?

I have nothing against you robbing the cradle - I've done it too.

It really stinks the way some people just don't care enough about their job or they are pissed off at the time of handling the package that you get some crapped out box, but at least the products are good.

P.S. I have never robbed the cradle, but the cradle robbed me
