UPS FedEx reliability

Everything you said is wrong.

I am right because I have a lot of experience and you are wrong.

If you or anyone disagrees with me I will continue to post until you give up or die.

Actual question: has anyone shipped with DHL?

[bort]

Interesting.

I figured DHL is a German company, so they should know a thing or two about shipping tubas, ja?

I am waiting for tuba delivery by drone.....

That's your quote, not mine. If you support any "honorable" moving of such a dishonorable person's remains, there could be a problem.

Going into the late rounds, both contestants are still hammering!

Bloke and Greg79 have exhausted all sensible arguments but are still pounding away!

The champion seemed to be weakening and threatened to pull out, but he has come back strong!

Neither will give up!

What a battle!

It looks like they could keep this up for a long time!

Maybe they will even start a third thread! Or a fourth!

Let's see …
UPS sucks = about 3,670,000 results
FedEx sucks = 17,300,000 results
Greyhound sucks = 231,000 results
GregTuba79 sucks = 132,000,000 results

Draw your own conclusion.

Who's that with the puppet strings on his arms and hands?

[bort]

So to recap:

Greg says that shipping with Greyhound is the ONLY way to go, and that they will even give your tuba a free trip to Mexico if you don't meddle with it.

Joe says that FedEx is awesome because they're based in Memphis, which is a city known for its safety -- and if a shipping company is based in a place known for safety, then they must ship things safely too.

Uh... er... something like that?

[The Big Ben]

Similar experience here.

[bort]

Hold up... so Wade loves FedEx too????

(You made my TubeNet day. Don't be a stranger, Elephant!)

Nice to see you posting again, I hope you return more often.

<-- for you Mark

I've figured it out. You don't need the emoticons anymore.

[Donn]

I complained about this and nothing was done

The way TubeNet was when I joined, back then I think something would have been done.

[Michael Bush]

I'm hoping the buyer of the tuba in the thread that started this whole drama (who, IIRC, wanted Greyhound) will pop up and tell us how bad the damage was.

If it's that tuba the OP recently offered for sale here, it's a 6/4 tuba made by a company known for thin brass, shipped by UPS in a box of no more than 165" all dimensions added... It would be almost beyond belief that it isn't damaged. It could happen, but it would be surprising. I'd like to know what it looked like when the buyer opened the box. Probably we'll never know, but still...

Welcome back, Wade. I, for one, have missed you.

Me too.

[The Big Ben]

Welcome back, Wade. I, for one, have missed you.

Me too.

Bruh. You're only anonymous because - like me - no one gives a **** about you.

Oh, and my wife is on Tubenet.

I read these kind of posts, but must laugh. Whenever someone says they don't care yet goes through the trouble of calling someone out? Aren't we all supposed to be acting adults around here? This is a tuba forum.
