New pickup day - Invisible BKP!

[mikernaut]

Hmmmm, seems like a inside job. Thanks USPS! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
They didn't even hide the fact they resealed it terribly

 

[budda]

That’s awful.

 

[wheresthefbomb]

Wow. Absolutely shameless.

 

[Randy]

Transparent tones tho?

 

[Crungy]

Total note separation, as well as separation of the pickup from the box. That fucking sucks!

Transparent tones tho?

I bet you can hear every note of complex chords with the heaviest of distortions.

 

[SalsaWood]

Proof you can hardly even give those RotoSound strings away.

Tough break, OP.

 

[Hollowway]

Wow. So what happens now? Does USPS reimburse BKP, or how does that work? I mean, technically I know they do, but I'm wondering if USPS is as much of a trainwreck as FedEx when it comes to customer service.

 

[mikernaut]

Not sure how it will play out. I emailed Nick , because I bought it through the Axe Palace and he was shocked as well. I seems like someone along the chain of USPS offices opened it , stole it and repackaged it poorly. Possibly even with knowledge of music gear and seeing where it was being shipped from. Why else would you open a random small package otherwise. Maybe it was the ghost of BRJ as this was going into my Jekyll , LOL.

I just shipped off a guitar through Fed Ex a few weeks back that I sold for $8500. I was terrified! Although I went in for the Reverb extra protection. In my history of shipping gear, UPS has damaged things the most.

Arguably still better than the Juggernaut.

Yeah, UPS has damaged the most more me. Amp head, headstock, etc. FedEx just loses the package for a week, CS has no idea where it is, and then it just randomly shows up.

 

[mikernaut]

You guys gave me some good laughs with the jokes, under the pain of a empty box! Cheers!

 

[philkilla]

Well that's super scummy. I hate thieves.

 

[Chri]

I've always wondered how often there are other musicians handling our stuff in transit. A big box holding a guitar or bass could be fairly obvious to even non-players, but this is so niche an item to dig for. Hopefully this gets resolved in a somewhat timely manner, though we all know that won't be the case.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

That sucks dude. I sold a nazgul pickup a few years back that got jacked by a postal worker. Luckily I had insurance from Reverb and it covered it.

 

[Emperoff]

As much as this sucks, The Axe Palace should refund you and deal with the situation themselves. You're a customer that didn't receive the product you purchased from a store. They are the ones that have to deal with the shipping company to get their money back, etc.

AHEM my fave pickup.

The most valuable thing in that box is the pick!! Still using mine 12 years later!!

Nice try, Misha

And it still would be if the Jugg was in there!

 

[Hollowway]

Yeah, this is on the seller to do the paperwork for the refund. As a buyer, I’ve tried - he post office and shipping companies don’t let you do much from the buyer’s end. They just say to get a refund from the seller, and have the seller fill out the insurance stuff.
