so much trouble with shipping
Had a horrible time with my shipping, from the start, a pushy and rude driver did the pickup, for starts.
Had sent all the required documents, but after two weeks, i was getting concerned about not seeing my shipment. Tracking showed it had changed hands several times, and was held somewhere in the UK.
Contacted shipper, and was told there was incomplete paperwork, never a notice from them as to a problem, and only after i contacted them was there an urgency, and a threat of additional charges for the storage of my belongings.
After sending the appropriate documents several times ( I think at least 3 times ), was told it was on the way.
A month in, one box out of 17 showed up, days before the delivery date.
Contacted shipper again, and was assured the rest would be delivered on the delivery date.
I was staying an hour from my delivery address, and wanted to be there to receive my delivery.
My friends elderly mother recieved the first box, totally unacceptable.
a day before the delivery date, the rest of the boxes arrived, and i was not there to recieve them, again.
I had to cancel my appointments for the day, travel to my friends place, to find that the delivery was made and signed for, without inspection.
most of the shipment was crushed, torn open, large tears in the boxes, etc.
one box was ripped completely open, and articles falling out the side.
( i have pictures, if you are interested)
Some things were broken, several pieces had damage, ( carved wooden art work ).
So all in all, i would say my experience was not a good one.
what was to be a 7 to10 day delivery, took over a month, and delivered in very poor condition.
I had packed very carefully, using double walled heavy duty shipping boxes, and lots of bubble wrap, Styrofoam packing peanuts, extra cardboard panels on the floor, walls, and under lid to protect my items, and thank God I did, or there surely would have been much more damage.
