    Seriously who in their right mind would attempt to deliver this?
    Ordered a new Iron Maiden on Monday out of Georgia, attempted delivery to my shop in Wisconsin today

    I dont have a local distributor, closest is 150 miles away I have called, emailed, and PM'd them on here with zero response.

    Final delivery was RL carriers, no idea if they picked up and handled the whole way.

    The top back of the head was poking out the box, definite damage.
    The driver said he argued with his dispatcher about even attempting delivery.
    He felt bad and knew it was rough.

    My distributor just called he has to see whats left in his warehouse, I may "have" to get a premium which is fine by me.

    Same carrier delivered a couch to me 5 years ago with a forklift fork hole through the armrest. $4000 couch, I kept the couch in case they screwed me, filed a claim with my bank, got my money back and kept the couch, still have it too with an end table covering the hole!!

    Quoted from pinzrfun:

    You're like 2 hours from Chicago, did you ever think about just picking it up yourself?

    probably what I will start doing if they let me.

    Check the pinmap see if someone recently added to their collection

    Sorry that is probably worse

    Quoted from KrustyBurger:

    Did they offer 'scratch & dent' pricing at least??? Seriously though, sorry you have to go through this. I gave up shipping pins long ago and now make long, expensive rides to pick them up when I make purchases. It's not the best nor easiest method, but you know what you're getting!

    I would have been in for a solid discount but I was so upset I just turned it away, my dist, said he will have it sent to stern to be repaired and he is working on some options for me.

    In the future I will drive to pickup pins,
    As of now, the distributor worked with me to get me the other pin on my list a Star Trek Premium Vault.
    I found a HUO IMDN about 30 miles from my house, infact the guy that bought my Munsters Premium had one, so that will be here in a day or two as well.

    Good to know, I will put them at the top of my list in the future.

    Last 2 I bought NIB I paid with my Cashback Credit card for the added peace of mind.
