that sucks about your deck. sniffle, sniffle

did you insure the shipment?

i sent my technics from school (Los Angeles) to my parents home (st. louis) for the summer last year.
I got my tables back and they were all fecked up. the tone arms were bent so that they would swing back to the right and the on/off switch was all messed.
i luckly had the tables insured and UPS paid for the 350 dollars it cost me to get them repaired at the electronic repairs shop.
so if you got it insured you could maybe either get the table fixed (if its fixable) or replaced.
only thing is it takes a good while for them to get stuff done. you just gotta keep calling them and stay on their ass. it took me about a month and a half to have everythign back in order

What kind of packaging did you ship your technics in?

Not to rub anything in, but I bought my tables back in the day off eBay and they arrived just fine. Just because some asshole doesn't know how to pack a box and another one doesn't know how to carry it without dropping it doesn't mean that eBay isnt a safe choice for buying things. That really sucks about your decks, but keep on the guy and I am sure something will be worked out. Most parcels of that size are insured by the delivery company. Good luck.

Ya i've never had a problem with ebay hopefully you got shipping insurance so you'll be able to get a new table.

when u buy from EBAY you should ALWAYS ask about their packaging. before you make the sale final u should ask them how they will pack it and will it come in original box with foam and stuff like that. never buy from someone if they dont supply you with answers. also, u should get insurance on big purchases like TT's. ebay can be very shady... always try to take the right steps so that you dont get screwed over.

I woulda been so pissed if that happend to me...
Super pissed.
