I recently used E.P.S to ship a large box from Miami to Higuey, When the large crate arrived a very important piece if equipment was missing, a $500 trapeze bar. I contacted the seller and he assures me it was in the box when delivered, I am not 100% convinced this is the case as the box weighed the same in Miami as it did when it arrived here, but he is insisting and i feel there isn't much i can really do.
Anyway, what i want to know is does it really matter which firm you use to ship items because when the said items are in aduanas anything can happen. I have had experiences in the past when small parcels have been sent to me from the u.k and the packet has been opened and things removed, but i buy huge amounts of things via the internet and have used E.P.S for over a year with no problems what so ever! When using such a service as E.P.S is it always in their care or when in aduanas is it at the mercy of lightfingered warehousemen?
I would like to purchase a third trapeze soon, but with each piece having a value of $500 and up i cant risk the same thing happening again. Can anyone recommend a company they have used many times without incident or maybe someone has had a similar experiece.
Like i said i am still in two minds if it was ever there in the first place, but cant prove it. As i cant imagine there are many employees in aduanas in need of a trapeze bar
