Just bought a Fender bass

Very good. Delayed due to weather. WTF. It was 45° and sunny. UPS facility is only a few miles from me.

Reporting it stolen if not here tomorrow.

My bad. It was 50° today.

Isn’t that a PJ?

Yes. My ibanez is as well but has active emg pups.

UPoS sucks azz. Still waiting.

This is beyond unacceptable. It is taking longer to get the two miles from the facility to my house than from Tampa to the facility. Sunny skies are very difficult to deal with. Now the temperature is 10°, I hope it is well packed and it will take a day to acclimate to the climate in my home before I unbox the prize.

Just unbox it immediately, the acclimation thing is a misguided myth.

Let it sit if you want but leaving it boxed just traps it in there for any moisture to condense on :rofl:

Assuming UPS ever delivers it of course. I think your instinct to report it stolen was good

I am going with my idea. Heading to UPoS store when it opens to get this resolved one way or another.

Undelivered, Pilfered or Smashed :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

EDIT: They misspelled ‘weather’, should be ‘whether’; whether or not they feel like delivering it! :laughing:

Zero help at the store. Thay have no way to track etc. any shipment/delivery.

Drove around for half an hour and stopped behind a brown truck and tried to find out if he does my area. He called the guy who does and after looking through his truck my package was not in there. I was told they have a bunch of packages in the storage area that were supposed to be delivered and it was said tomorrow will be the day. I gave him $10 for helping me on his lunch break and said I will give him a hundred if he gets it to my door tonight.

I still love the “report it stolen” plan :rofl:

Last resort as it makes this a dead sale dragging on and on. I have to bite the bullet and be patient. I f****ng hate waiting. Period.

Also, they know it is in their posession.

I just want my bass. Nothing more.

It arrived late last night and I just began taking photos. Seller listed it as “Very Good” and it is a hot mess. Somewhat between Very Fair and Kinda Good would be more accurate. Waiting to hear back from seller for partial refund (which I prefer) or return for full refund. It has stories to tell based on the beating it has taken but I don’t feel like listening at the moment. I will post many pics once I hear back from the seller.

All squared with the seller for the time being.

If I keep it I am going to leave the battle scars on for now as it will play just fine. The bent tuner is staying like that.

I’m no expert on finishes, but I don’t think that’ll polish out? But if you got a deal it’s good I guess.

So that wasn’t shown in the Reverb listing pictures? That’s pretty poor / dishonest.

None of it was shown. The pics from the original ad were taken at angles that did not allow any of the damage to be seen. He pretty much called me an a**hole in so many words. I will never deal with that seller (or any other) on Reverb again. Live and learn.
