Unfortunately, overnighting doesn't work too swell either. The last transaction I did, the buyer overnighted his tracked payment to me on a Wednesday evening and I didn't receive it until the afternoon of the following Saturday. They also told him, when he checked tracking on it, that it had been delivered and I had signed for it on Friday morning at around 9:00am or so, THEN when it was actually delivered on Saturday, they just put it in my mail box and I guess really didn't require a signature <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/down.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":down:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"down.gif\" /> <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/down.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":down:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"down.gif\" /> <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/down.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":down:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"down.gif\" />

The one and only time I used the Postal services "overnight" express it took 3 days.....what a f'n joke. UPS seems to be very reliable for me but they too seem to bang the bejesus outta boxes. If it wasn't for ordering from people I know and who know how to pack, I'd never get anything delivered in one piece. I've got a great resin piece on order now and am sitting on pins and needles wondering if it'll make the "white glove" delivery..................Larry <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":confused:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"confused.gif\" />

I have a pretty big yard, and instead of the UPS or USPS workers parking the truck and walking the box to my door, they would simply leave the box at the beginning of my driveway. Sometimes we wouldnt be home for days at a time and the box would get rained on, abused by weather, and a once even STOLEN.We made a nice call to the UPS and USPS supervisors for our area, and its never happened again. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

Shipping resin busts can be quite dangerous unless you pack the piece like fort knox these days. I sold my Causey David bust to some guy overseas during the Christmas rush. He got back to me saying the piece had looked like it had taken a front tumble. I packed that bust up the BEST I could and the carriers somehow managed to still damage the whole package. What's even worse is the fact he paid $1,500 and had me mark the item at $20 to save on customs fees. I'll never do that again!

I know how you guys feel.I had a photo bent in the mail and also my 2nd Jason Neca remake fig got left out in the snow and sent back to who I bought it from. It was really odd. It got left out in the snow and sent back to him. He said that it was ruined and couldn't even send it to me so i'm still watting for him to get them back in stock so he can send me another one................So I feel your pain Larry. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
