The Cubs are doing well, so I guess expecting suburban Chicagolanders to function in other spheres is asking too much.

Should I be worried about a guitar being on a UPS truck for that long? I've never had anything take this long to ship and finally arrive! Takes the fun right out of a spontaneous purchase

Any word on your Martin?
UPS opened an investigation on my Taylor. Still in limbo over here.

I ship many many thousands of $$$ of expensive gear weekly. One thing I have learned over the years you never ever for any reason ship anything important with UPS and especially with USPS.

If your gear is not on time and in the location it should be you need to light fires with that carrier asap. It makes a big difference. If you do nothing and your package is in a pattern for a week its likely its in 40 pcs or some twit flagged it on the line and took it out of the pattern.

Above all else use FEDEX.

It was there I think 3 days and then moved on. I had a guitar pass through Hodgkins yesterday and luckily moved out 12 hours later.
