I think it’s hilarious as do our driver’sCouriers must love enthusiast forums.
I suppose few of us are sending fragile items on a regular enough basis to really judge how good any individual courier company is.
I'm sure packing is key. Your parcel will probably be handled by up to 20 different people during it's journey. It will go through at least two sorting processes at hubs and travel on at least three vehicles.
Turntables are the most problematic as they are inherently fragile. The problem is not new. My father bought a new R2R back in the day. When he put the reels on they were sitting at a strange angle.
Within 30mins the problem had been diagnosed, during transit it must have been dropped. The substantial reel motors had pulled off their mounting studs. 30 mins later the mounting pillars had been reversed to get a fresh hold on undamaged threads. The packaging seemed undamaged, the machine design was suspect in this case.
Probably one of wingers on the various Hifi forum’sI'm a courier, employed rather than an owner driver, and so probably give more of a shit. Best I had once was when someone was shipping a pair of decent floorstanders to Germany and they had wrapped them solely in brown paper and cellotape. He was gobsmacked that I wouldn't accept it and had classed it as "unsuitable packaging".
It's not always the much maligned driver or courier companies fault you know.
Your right they don’t like it because a large percentage of customer’s can’t be bothered to read the all the shipping company t&c’s before they book a delivery / collection.If I have to send something fragile, I write that there is glass inside, on all sides. They don't like that.
Okay, but when the parcel is perfectly done or lost it is the courrier’s fault, isn’t it?
