[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5581025, member: 100309"] I would ship UPS if a customer counter was nearby. Closest one is 45 miles. There is a nearby business that is a UPS shipper. A car repair place. Went there once and they didn't seem terribly interested in my business...... I generally go to the USPS and ship stuff. Just a lot easier all around. They are open Sat. Never much of a line and generally cheaper. I get a lot of vintage motorcycle parts through USPS and UPS. A lot of the ones shipped UPS come in some pretty beat up boxes. USPS generally better condition. Seems anything irregular or heavier always seems to be UPS though. I will say, if I know it's coming UPS.....I tell the shipper to double wrap....wrap......wrap. Wooden bottoms for any metal parts etc. I'd split damages blame on UPS rough handling and poor shipper packaging. I shipped a motorcycle shock for repair and when I checked in with the shop they commented on how well the shock was packed.....so much so that they reused the box as is. MOF the best box they had ever seen. I leave nothing to chance. [/QUOTE]
