Today I got a new guitar from Ebay, and guess what happened? I unpacked the guitar and as it jumped out of the box I noticed the headstock was broken...  Hopefully I will get a refund or another guitar, the guy from whom I bought it is a professional dealer and I hope he will contact me soon... Boohooo... that lovely gold top copy... |

I hate to hear that bro. The longest 16 days I have spent in a while was waiting on my guitar to arive via UPS. I got lucky. |

Well, obviously I´m lucky... the guy who sold the guitar told me he would send another guitar, I should send back the damaged one and make a report at the post office about the incident...  Hopefully he will get a refund then also from those postmen who obviously had thrown the box or what the heck they did with it...  From now on I am a bit sceptic about sending guitars with parcel services... We have a very trusty private service here in Germany that I choose for sending delicate objects like guitars, by the way. I never send guitars myself using the public postal services.  |

Bummer and Congrats for getting a replacement.
I have recieved a couple of guitars through normal postal channels and had no problems. I do prefer to have guitars shipped UPS though.

Well, that the good thing about dealing with a dealer on ebay instead of a private individual. The dealer can replace. Sometimes its not so easy to get reimbursed by private sellers. Hope your next baby arrives safely. |

I will feel a certain relief as soon as the new guitar is delivered... it was a cash on delivery deal, my money is gone so far... hopefully this bloke will hurry up a bit.  |
