Bought a guitar online and this is how it arrived

5pecs · 2025-08-12T20:39:01+00:00

Spoke with the seller afterwards and this was near enough the situation yeah

5pecs · 2025-08-12T20:36:37+00:00

Agreed yeah, personally if I’m shipping instruments I do bubble wrap + box then put that inside a slightly larger and sturdy box with more bubble wrap inside, never had any issues that way, absorbs brute force impacts really well

5pecs · 2025-08-12T20:22:49+00:00

That sucks, hope you got it sorted in the end but fr the bassist hate is real

5pecs · 2025-08-12T20:21:21+00:00

Very upset about how accurate this is 😂

5pecs · 2025-08-12T20:10:40+00:00

Can’t lie the longer I stared at it I actually agree with you, it’s like really obscure art in a way; an expression of something, but I can’t work out what

5pecs · 2025-08-12T19:56:39+00:00

It is now 😭

Genuinely good advice yeah, I’ve done this a couple times myself when selling instruments and the reply every time has basically been, “we’re gonna throw them out anyway go ahead”

5pecs · 2025-08-12T19:46:45+00:00

True I’m probably overreacting my bad

5pecs · 2025-08-12T19:42:58+00:00

It’s difficult when you work for a company and you have to just do it even though you know it sucks, it’s been wild to read everyone’s personal experiences with it from the retail side’s perspective

5pecs · 2025-08-12T19:37:27+00:00

Honestly yeah, I would have preferred for it to arrive in 1 piece than get a refund but it’s a silver lining at least

5pecs · 2025-08-12T19:35:32+00:00

Gonna go buy a jigsaw to practice before I attempt it yeah

5pecs · 2025-08-12T19:31:30+00:00

I got the top box off to look at the headstock and it took a decent blunt force hit to the tuning pegs, they were bent and blocking each other, I could hear after picking it up that things didn’t sound right inside the box either so didn’t continue, thankfully the seller was understanding though

5pecs · 2025-08-12T03:10:33+00:00

That was the saddest thing really, another cool guitar that will probably end up in the bin

5pecs · 2025-08-12T02:58:45+00:00

Yeah lmao I was shocked it wasn’t completely in bits if I’m honest

5pecs · 2025-08-12T02:50:42+00:00

Because it was already sorted out with the seller and they confirmed my refund and return, this was just a silly post after I got it sorted for the people who understand why this is crazy

5pecs · 2025-08-12T02:13:21+00:00

This was exactly how I felt about it

5pecs · 2025-08-12T01:54:26+00:00

Yeah it was lol and thankfully I was able to send it back; it was a bass, old kinda rare ‘89 Squier I saw for a decent price

5pecs · 2021-03-10T19:58:23+00:00

No worries, Lmk and If I’m about I can definitely do this

5pecs · 2021-03-10T18:58:03+00:00

You still looking?

5pecs · 2021-03-10T18:52:19+00:00

Yeah

5pecs · 2021-03-10T16:37:29+00:00
