[Kenwood] Why does anyone ship UPS?

Thu, 30 Jan 2003 10:52:26 -0600 (CST)

When I sent my TS-850S/AT to AVVID for some minor work last fall, UPS did not make me open it up or anything.  But they marked the shipping document as going for repair.

I guess they paid a smaller amount for a lost radio that needs repairs then a lost radio that doesn't need repair!!

Last comment about UPS, I have NEVER had a problem with them.
But it is nice to know of other carriers that do as good or better job.  It is nice to have a choise so all the comments were welcome, but the thread is getting old.

UPS refused to accept a radio heading back to Kenwood 
from me for warranty service....because I couldn't 
power it up!

Not that I could have, anyway....The '100D is a 13.8 
volt rig!

Sheesh!

I sent it by priority mail (actually goes at the same 
time in the same planes and trucks as the US Mail) for 
$5.
