Beware of JC986

[Mailman1971]

Not going to take sides, but I offer this for thought.

1) I hate UPS, they've broken/damaged more shipments to me than any other carrier. Current damage to total shipments ratio is 27 out of 35. Scary, huh? Must have been that small claims suit I won against them 9 years ago.

2) I use Fedex Ground and pack pretty well. A local client orders an H75 65w speaker, which weighs 12 lbs packed. He gets it, the frame is bent in two places, the box is dinged up. It went 40 miles. I send him a replacement, same packing, same speaker, etc. That one gets there fine two days later. He orders 2 more speakers, they get there fine.

3) I file a damage claim for the 1st damaged H75. It gets denied due to insufficient packing. Yeah, I showed them the replacement tracking #, and the other shipments that all got there in one piece, they didn't budge. I was going to fight it out with them on principle but got tossed in the hospital for 10 days in January and my window to refile was over.

Moral of the story, sometimes shit happens in shipping you can't explain...or prove.

The amp seller says he offered to do a damage claim. Fine. Buyer sends him pics of the box, inner box, damaged goods/PCB board, etc to file with the claim, then they wait 2-3 weeks for an answer, assuming they have a repair estimate. I did all that for my client, he sent me pics. I still lost out. He got a replacement speaker, client is happy and ordered more speakers.

In a single transaction deal for $2000, though, it had better be insured, packed for a catapult launch, and the seller better do the paperwork.

With that said, if the buyer is a dick, doesn't get an estimate, or pics, the seller can't file the claim.

There's my 11 years of Fedex damage claim experience in a nutshell. uberdood and jc need to communicate without threats, posted addresses and frigging common sense. Grow the fuck up, or take it off the forum and meet on the golf course already.

Sheesh.

No wonder I don't frequent this forum much anymore. I've got enough business/health drama in my life to read up on this type of unreasonable posting crap.

Apples and oranges buddy. You've proven nothing except trying to make excuses for yourself. You obviously didn't read the facts of the repair. You might win a few customers selectively supporting generalizations and speculations in the mob rule. Congratulations on that. Maybe next time you make a mistake packing something you can stick it to UPS and spare yourself the expense of being accountable for what you do. Whatever opinion of him, Ubermetalguy has a legitimate gripe and his facts support what he says. I don't care about speculation or your silly overgeneralzing your experience shipping speakers because what I care aboutnis someone getting a fair shake. JC986 knowingly shipped Ubermetaldude a bad amp and if you can't see that then you lack discernment between truth and lies.

People posting here come with preconceived ideas without even reading the transcripts. Ubermetaldude said in his correspondence that he would provide pics and info for the shipping claim but that he wanted nothing else to do with it because he felt it's dishonest. You are jumping to all these conclusions in complete ignorance and that's not fair to the guy.

Dude.....what are you? Ubermetals Old Lady?
You seem to know alot about this by just 'stumbling' on this website?
7 posts and you got the site and all about gear figured out.
Again....contact Calimoose.
He will let you be a mod on the board since everyone else has no clue and not fair.

I've noticed in this life that when I have a problem and I'm kind and honest with people, they tend to help me a lot more. This hold true with everyone from my clients from my business all the way to creditors calling about a late payment.

Nobody wants to help out a guy who's actively threatening their safety and calling them a prick at the same time.

I'm still wondering what your function in this thread is because it seems to be of no use except to beat up tso victim of a bad trade. Dick or not doesn't justify the crime against him. He just sounds to me like a guy with a very bad temper who got real mad about the evident ripoff. It's a scary thing that someone's reactions on a forum excuse the person who wronged him. Are you really such a shallow person that you stroll into a thread and antagonize someone who reports a bad trade practice against him? Are you selective about people you defend or do you believe in who is really right or wrong? You haven't struck me so far as someone who would have a thoughtful and fair opinion on the matter so what is it that you aim to achieve in your statements?

Imagine if you got robbed and when you went for help, you got beat and sent away. That's what it looks like from an observer's perspective.

Well aren't you quite the linguistic little troll now aintcha?

Was Uber banned? Is that the reason for the alternative account?

yeah he is banned ... the account is from january but i'm guessing he might have been in "trouble" then as well, because hefty posts in pretty much exactly the same way as uber

Yes, it's pretty clear. I find the funniest part is how he keeps spelling uber's name wrong 'ubermetalguy, ubermetaldude' to throw us off the scent, not once has he spelled it correctly. Not to mention, the very first thing he says is 'Uhhh......yeah, the only reason I'm here is cause...uhhh...I was researching a bad deal....cough.....ahem' He certainly is a genius and a diabolical mind

Give HeftyBagofDeath a time out too...

What a sad existence.
To take the time out of your day to create a pen name account in order to have an ally for your little interweb tantrum.
Still though, whenever I walk through a scary golf course at night I'll always remember the dangers that lurk therein.

ubermetaldood is one angry, Swedish socialist

He did not get screwed.

The amp worked 100% for the original owner.

The amp worked 100% for me. I can post the video I made the day I packed the amp up a little later today.

I have offered to file a FedEx claim to make sure any damages can be taken care of. In the event FedEx would deny the claim, I offered to personally assist with the cost of repair.

He refused and started with all the threats. He still hasn't presented me with any proof of anything wrong with the amp or any written quote for repairs.

The day he received the amp he acknowledged it worked fine and left me good feedback.

It sounds like you're not taking any responsibility. Let me get this straight, without any fluff to blur the bottom line...

He traded you a Bogner Uberschall which works perfectly and you sent him a Lil Fokker that you claimed worked perfectly. Now you have a perfect Uberschall and he has a Lil Fokker in need of repair. Bottom line only, correct?

I see that you complained about him not giving you quote, etc..., but should he be the one doing all of that? Shouldn't you be doing all of that? It's odd that you claim the Lil Fokker was perfect yet seem to have no concern whatsoever in what Peter Diezel had to say. In the correspondence, Ubermetaldude seems to have kept you in the loop so what's to stop you from getting involved and finding out what the problem is?

I"m sorry to say but the way you responded to the guy and your lack of interest in working a solution shows your blatant guilt.

All you demonstrated so far is your willingness to bill FedEx the cost. Where on your part are YOU going to fit the expense?

Last question. Since the moderator banned that member, how are you going to make sure that he is taken care of or did you already abandon your reaponsibilities?

People who lie cannot hide it. What you say is one thing, but how the fact a add up, the way you react to certain things, and your lack of actual action proves your guilt.

So far you put blame on FedEx and him yet despite what you say, you refuse to give him his gear back, you didn't involve yourself in the repair process, and you apparently didn't send the guy any money to get an estimate, so you basically haven't done a single thing. How do you expect him to provide you a quote when it's not covered under warranty? Estimates cost money. Did you send him a shipping label to have the amp sent to a qualified tech? Did you pay for the estimate or bench fee? So tell me, while you are playing his perfect amp, how are you making sure that he has an equally functional amp?

The truth is that you haven't donebjack shit and put all the burden on your victim because you never planned to do shitnin the first place. Man you are a piece of work. People like you are the worst possible kind to deal with.

So this is ubermetalguy's alt, right?

This is pretty typical for Uber, some of his other rant's and attacks on members here have been worse than this even imho. Guys been doing it for long time. He went off on me big time about a year and half ago, was pretty funny but also so telling of the guys mental state at the same time.

Did the same thing to me recently. No threats but he did get pretty nasty.
