True story... I just received my Horne's Traditionalist from Mark and Sandy. UPS it came around 5-5:30 PM [MOMMA answered the door and accepted it. . I looked at the tube when i came home and almost puked!!! THANK GOD it was in a tube it had a tire track maybe a highlow tire track on the crushed tube ,the metal cap was crushed had to pull it out with a visegrip. I was sick took the bow out and went over every inch with a magnifying glass bow was perfect.I can tell you this UPS is terrible! BUT around the holidays they hire cheap x-mas  help and this is what happens.There are alot of bowyers out there that will not use them. They are terrible!!! Wait until i can post some pictures.Sorry to do this to your thread but I had to vent!I mail a bunch of bows and I use USPS good old United States  Post Office a little slower but never a problem.

guess i better stay out of this one. there are MANY brown drivers (myself) who strive to do the right thing and are very proud of what they do.    :readit:

I've never had a problem with UPS myself in 20+ years of using them. Our drivers have even brought packages in to our house when they were too heavy/bulky for my wife to handle.   I'm just belly aching out of jest.

Our local UPS driver is one of my best friends.  He is a great guy and great bowhunter and my steady hunting pard.  However...I too have seen him move boxes from the front of the truck to the back with his foot, kick by kick.  I give him heck about it and he tells me its hard to wrestle around with them in the narrow walkway in the truck.  Most of the stuff he is delivering is pretty much bullet proof.  Boxes of paper, hard goods etc, so I don't mind if he kicks it around a little.  Couple years ago, I ordered a metal cut band saw that was "just" under their weight limit and had it UPS'd instead of drop shipped, just for my pal.  When it arrived, the box it was in looked like it had just got back from Iraq.  I didn't run out to help him like I usually do either.  I thought it was a pretty good joke till he made me wash dishes all hunting season.
