    The packages I have been recently getting from ups DO NOT require a signature or anything. The ups guys have simply leaving the package behind things on our porch, the do leave a tag on the door saying "we missed you package left". I dont think they need a sigunature unless the sender requests it.

    Well I called UPS and they said for me to ask the seller to do a "trace" on the package. They said UPS would do an investigation to try and find the package as best they could. Sounds good to me except it seems silly for me to have to ask the seller to do it - why can't I? I'd rather not involve him If i don't have to. It's not his fault it didn't make it. I guess only the place it was sent from can do that.

    Yup, unfortunately thats that way UPS works....always has.... same thing goes for items damaged during shipment... everything must be initiated by the seller. I've been fortunate enough to deal with some pretty good folks thru fleabay though, had one lost and one damaged shipment... Both were settled within a week of the trace being started. UPS actually paid full price plus shipping for new replacement items. One of them was a rather large antenna (10m Ham Radio type)..they lost it... so two months after i got the new replacement the original one showed up... mangled to all hell.

    According to UPS my 2 displays should be arriving tommorrow :clap: :clap:

    This method shafts the seller.... he shipped it. Thus a UPS problem.

    but that's what you can do with paypal...
    tell them the package never arrived....


    i sold an item for $80, but the seller said never recived it...
    i didn't have prove that i sent that item, so i got that $80 taken away and my account banned...
    half year later, i ship that same thing to that address again with tracking number, now i got my account back...

    I really wanna buy a couple of these... I`m in the UK but can get someone in the US to ship it to me.

    Problem is, I bid on the auction but lost since I was outbid at the last moment and for me it was in the middle of the night :(

    Anyone know if any more of these will be available?

    For some reason when I tried to contant the seller it wouldn`t let me, so I`ll try again later :(

    By the way, does anyone know if these can be damaged by freezing??? It's hardly gone above -10 C for the last few weeks up here. :brrr:

    You're right, thanks. Good to -40C.

    Guess I proved my theory.

    I have been waiting for almost a month for these displays but nothing has arrived yet!

    This is getting real frustrating as all my cables are built and ready to install.

    Is there anyone else in Canada waiting for these to be delivered?
