[Amps] shipping damge

[Harold B. Mandel]

Dear Eric,

My experience at having over ten thousand dollars of precious amateur
amplifier gear destroyed through no fault of my own, coupled with
the experience of having to seek legal redress to compel both U.P.S.
and Fed Ex to perform as contracted has left me with a permanent
dislike for both corporations.

Anyone who says they have no problems getting claims resolved on
a regular basis is, I feel and believe, lying through their teeth.
