Beware of UPS also.
Around 95 or 96 I sold my A4000. I called up UPS to find out if they had any requirements for how it was sent. They told me as long as I double box it, it was okay with them.
so, I put it in it's original box, which still had the foam to make it snug. I put that in a bigger box so it was totally surround by packing peanuts.
Well, apparently the person at ups didn't like me, because by the time it got where it was sent, it was in 1 box, missing it's software and mouse. =(
She also changed my address so the COD check didn't make it to me.
I went down to UPS to complain when I figured out what happened, they didn't care. They told me to call their 800 number and wouldn't even let me get the name or employee number of the person who took my package.
Well, I got them back. After spending 4 weeks trying to get my COD money, and be given a number to call, where I had to leave a message, and never got a call back. I finally had gotten them to cut me a new check, which I ended up getting the same the day the original one made it to me (with my correct address written over the old one). I cashed them both. Funny part was, when they kept calling me to talk about them, I never called them back. Wonder how they liked that? =)
that wasn't the only problems I had with ups, just the last time I had problems with them. I won't use them now.
So, I sold my A4000 for $1400, with $700 paid up front, the rest c.o.d. I made a bonus of $700, but I did have to buy and send a new mouse and software to the person who bought the system from me.
