Greyhound shipping shenanigans

Ok Mouser, let’s go with that theory. So, would be more irate with Ms. Scott, an employee at Greyhound, or at yourself for either not reading the 100’s of bad reviews BEFORE you used them, or going ahead and using them AFTER you read them and used them anyway, especially after being burned by them once before? And, who would be considered a “Retard”, as he puts it, for using them to ship his high dollar one year only parts with no insurance, which Greyhound does not supply. If I’m shipping a $12k guitar, I use an outside insurance company such as Heritage to cover the transaction, I don’t expect any shipper to cover the cost of anything, as is common knowledge.

Let’s face it, he screwed himself here, and his explanation to member 67Dart is a ******* joke. Having a bad day? Nope, sorry, that’s no excuse for that message. Me thinks this guy has a lot of bad days, and blames his problems on that, and everybody else. Sorry, I don’t blame 67Dart for not selling to him, and I don’t blame Greyhound for ghosting him. I do however, blame Greyhound for losing his stuff, but of course, their disclaimer of people first, packages second, and having the driver having to handle the package possibly many times, and having this in print many times over would’ve kept me from using them in the first place.

I share your sentiments on many points Cosgig, but I find that many simply take advantage of kindness as a sign of weakness, and would give the OP the benefit of the doubt on originally being kind.

Reviews WOULD be a good clue, but not 100%. I feel the same way he does, after buying 1.7 magnum rockers from BobR. And mailing a draft bank check that took over 2 months to Canada via the US Post Office .

I have received Plymouth b body doors, a complete Aspen trunk pan via greyhound, no problem.

getting the run around from people that have a specific job for lost goods is bullogna. What the OP failed to realize is that the poor female they dumped on the problem was probably NOT competent enough to handle Greyhound’s disorganization and could not legally confide her loss in confidence for the situation-only an expensive lawyer that can yield consequences would resolve that.

After military service, a few of us aholes expect more from our fellow human, thought before action, ownership in organization, etc.!-to our COMPLETE Disappointment. But we behave the same way.

I distinctly remember many of the older generation with high expectations of responsibility as well, though I think most of us have given up hope for today’s society.
