Sneak:
I agree whole-heartedly about the quality of the boxes that they ship the UGC's in.

I emailed them (media shelving) suggesting in the future they maybe use a better quality box, or have better packing inside. I'm sure they're not interested in pony-ing up any extra cash to invest in better shipping boxes. :(

But I too, in my 3 purchases from them, have never had a shipment arrive damage free. Each time, usually 5-10 % of the cases are cracked an broken. Granted, some are still usable, as a corner or two are simply chipped off the UGC, but that's not the point.

You'd hope Media Shelving gets the message and does something about this. I thought it might have just been my problem as I'm located in Canada, and they're coming up from California (I believe).

WolfAlmighty:
They use singlewall boxes with no packing material so there's virtually nothing between the cases and the environment. Considering these boxes are large they're going to get treated more harshly than small parcels by the freight company so it's understandable why some get damaged. They need to use some styrofoam sheets (and preferably doublewall boxes) to absorb the impact from handling. The question is whether it's worth it to them to have this extra expense instead of just having a handful of them arrive damaged, when they only cost about $.50 each (after shipping).

wiggy:
It sucks because shipping is pretty much the same price as the cases themselves, and you can't just get a few from them to replace the broken ones. I emailed them after that last batch and they offered me a credit for the broken cases, which ended up being like 4 bucks. I'd rather that they just ship me 30 free cases, but that won't happen since splitting up a box doesn't seem possible for them.

Those boxes have the feel and consistency of toilet paper, seriously.

Fleshwound:
Im in Australia and got 500 ugs cases over 200 spare ones still. only had around 20 of 500 broken almost everyone was a corner position. those media boxes yes are ridiculous the courier must have used about 5 rolls of tape just to hold them together! i thought everyone would have been broken when i seen the boxes! want em make me a offer but they not going cheap! pro be cheaper to buy your own if they show up ok and after 4 months waiting lolz..... might sell some on ebay soon keep ya eye out!

Azarkhel:
If its cheaper to import cases of my own why would I keep an eye on eBay for yours?
