Just recently that changed with shipping cabs(used to be 25-35 bucks) and the free ship to stores. The only time I've had a damaged anything from them was when I've bought stuff out of Florida stores. Last one was a 1960 Classic cab that came on a pallet....without any additional packing. Just the cab on a pallet with some plastic wrapped around it lol. Tolex got nice in scuffed, torn. Back it went.
Last year I picked up a late 1968 SuperTrem and it arrived with a big hole in the box; not much packing. But surprisingly the amp was not damaged at all.
Those were the good old days. I bought a few JCM800 1960s from GC with the $25 shipping and was all in for under $400.
 
Well.. ordered it last Friday and here it is Tuesday and it still hasn't shipped yet. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm even going to get this thing. Talk to GC today and they told me it it was packed up and ready to go and would ship this afternoon, coming by freight. I guess I'll believe it when I see it. :dunno:

I would call them back and say "Pics or didn't happen"

I bought my Mesa 4x12 from my local GC and made them take the handles off and verify/pic the speakers before I even drove up there.
 
The last time I bought a 4x12 from GC, they found a box big enough to put 3 4x12's in, shoved the JCM900 4x12 to one side, and filled the rest with bubble wrap. My UPS guy was PISSED carrying that from the truck to my house.

It was mostly unscathed. Well other than it reading 0 ohms at the jacks. Ended up rewiring that one since those switchable plates on the 900s fail all the time anyways.
 
I got my EHX 4x12 from GC Used forever ago....surprisingly arrived fine besides a crushed caster (someone had literally put the little tiny plastic office chair casters on it so no surprise there)
 
Put some feathers in your hair during the shipping process and your fortunes will be improved.

“Hmm, wonder if that cab will make it OK. Riffs be trafficking junk through their UPS connect.”

I remember back on HC there was a poster named IndianScout who would sell guitars and when people received them they'd open the case and there'd be fucking leaves and ashes scattered in there

He claimed it was some kind of native american blessing :LOL:


Dude was unhinged and also ended up scamming several people if I remember right
 
Finally got tracking today, coming by R&L, so by freight. Said it would be here Friday between noon and 4pm.
