In Reply to: "as-is" and "not guaranteed against shipping damage" - what does it mean? posted by Don T on April 12, 2007 at 12:03:26:
Time to move on to another item. The shipping clause is the real zinger! Shipping damage is the responsibility of the shipper, even if the buyer pays the tab. Don't even waste your time trying to file a claim if you are anyone other than the shipper. Freight carriers will ignore the claim.I agree that there are plenty of flakes out there, but most folks, most of the time want to do the right thing. I offer an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee on anything I sell personally, well professionally too. Shipping damage, most times, is the fault of the seller for not packing properly. Not always, but usually.
After shipping hundreds if not thousands of items including big power amps and speakers, never had any shipping damage. And never had anyone take me up on the 30-day guarantee. I am sure it will happen, both of them, but these are indeed the rare exceptions rather than the rule.
