NAD / I hate Fed Ex
- Thread starter RVA
- Start date
I've been playing it for about an hour now. Damn, does it sound sweet. I'm not gonna need to many pedals with this bad boy. Still learning about all its settings. Only used the PRS so far. Gonna try a Strat and an LP to get the full understanding of its capabilities.
Have wanted a Mesa for decades, and with you guys raving about the Rectoverb 25, I went and played one. Came home and 4 clicks later one was on its way.

I need to play more guitars through it to find a tone I want to use playing in the evening through headphones when the wife is home. I've been re-arranging the music room today, it's been on my to do list for years.

The amp sounds great, but the seller is a jerk. I told Uncle Duke, a/k/a Earl Osborne of 519 Bryson Avenue, Athens Texas, that the amp was working fine and asked him if he wanted to agree on a price reduction. I did this mostly so that he would be encouraged to pack better for his next buyer. This was his response:
I gave you a discount on my asking price.
I know the amp was packed securely when I shipped it and once it's out of my hands I have no control over it.
All I can say is best of luck in dealing with Fed Ex.
I know that's not what you want to hear but that's all I have to offer.
I placed a claim with Reverb. I prefer to post the negative feedback than to have a discount so that other can be warned.

%^& that A hole Ray. UNCLE DICK's ... is more like it. I would demand from Reverb that he refund you 100% including return shipping. HIS answer is a crock.
YOU have the PICS, YOU have the DENTED BOX, YOU have the DENTED AMP, YOU have the DINGED Tolex. IF HE PACKED properly, how did it still get damaged? That is like saying BTW I put proper tire pressure in my 4 tires. But when those cops threw out nail stop strips as I was fleeing the crime scene, the tires couldn't possibly have gone flat when I ran over them, due to my proper tire inflation. Right?

Yep, he wants to lie and say he packed it properly. Then he wants to place the burden of dealig with Fed Ex on me. The good news is that Reveb already responded to my complaint and advised him that it is his obligation to deal with Fed Ex. I must say, Reverb is awesome.

Send him USPS, FED EX and UPS stipulations for proper packaging. THEN TELL HIM, there was ZERO Padding for this amp, HOW could he possibly claim he packed it properly?
Here is Fed Ex's
TIPS TO PACK LIKE A PRO
FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipments
FedEx Freight shipments
A new box is recommended. If you’re reusing one, make sure there are
no holes, tears or corner dents, and that flaps are intact. Remove or mark
through old labels
Place 3 inches of cushioning — packing peanuts, air cellular cushioning,
corrugated fiberboard, foam pads or molded plastic — on the bottom,
top and sides. Put a copy of the label inside the package
Apply at least three strips of packing tape 2 inches or wider (no duct or
masking tape) evenly across all flaps and seams, top and bottom
Secure your label or pouch on the package’s largest surface away from
folds or seams. If you’re using a pouch, be sure to reseal it after inserting
the shipping label

We might also provide a little enticement for the seller to comply. Word of mouth in this and other music forums ought to make it so he shouldn't be too hard to persuade to play ball in lieu of bad reports that can spread like wildfire. That is if he cares about his reputation ya know.

This fella begrudgingly gave a 10% ($9.50) discount after Reverb intervened. So what shall I do about the Feedback? Shall I post his caustic words and let them speak for themself, or just let it go?
For full analysis, a black marker and some crazy glue made the rip undetactible. Also, the amp is loaded with Mesa tubes.

$9.50 SUX AZZZ. That is pittance for POOR ASS packing. Make him make good and an undamaged amp, take that one back for full refund including return shipping.
Have to wait to advise on caustic words or not.
