Last year, when I was shopping for a new TV, this website had an amazing price for same tv I ended up getting at best buy. like 300 less than what i payed, plus came with wall mount/hdmi cbles/3d glasses. But in the end I chose to shop local on that because mishandled tv's usually have damage to the screen (not like broken glass or anything, dead pixels, little blobs on the screen that don't show any part of the picture). But some people can't resist the lower price. This particular item I started the thread about isn't sold locally, closest dealer to me is 3 hour drive away and the prices would have been much higher as well through a shop. I'm handling my situation with ebay buyer protection. When shipper gets the item back ebay/paypal is going to refund me what i spent on item +shipping. Would have rather had working item but I think this is easiest solution for me and the seller. He can resell it locally if he chooses to or relist it as a damaged item, or have it repaired himself, he lives in same state where speakers are made, he could drive it to them and pick it up if UPS refuses to cover the claim. Sucks but I understand, I deliver pizza part time, things happen, I know first hand.
Proper handling question.. broken dreams :(

Dude, I totally get being upset, but it's funny how you worded it. You came across like a (no offense ladies) sad woman. If you want to talk about broken dreams, grab a beer and come on over and I'll call my girlfriends here and we can all chat and cry together.
I also get that you want someone to be responsible, somehow it feels good when we can say "ah ha, I knew it was your fault", but that won't get you anywhere, will it? UPS is all about safety and I imagine that the driver was doing what he thought was the safest thing for his body, and rightfully so. UPS would rather pay a claim on an item vs. a claim on a back or body part. It's safety first.
