- Here is another question.... I've heard that buying something from someone
- via COD/UPS would allow me to open the box and at least verify that what
- I am paying for is in fact what is in the box.
-
- My last experience turned out as expected, what I paid for is what I got..
- But I was not allowed to open the box.
-
- How do I protect my interests short of a cancelled check? What's to say I
- am not paying for a bag of sand in a box?
-
- I realize 99% of those on this server are honest. That's not the question.
- Was the UPS driver mistaken about letting me open the box OR was I mistaken
- in my reading of the thread that I saw a few months ago re purchases over
- the net?
-
- Any help/ understanding will be appreciated.
