First point. Delivery people. WTF? If a package is marked FRAGILE, please don't kick it.
Second point: Uke Sellers. WTF? If you're shipping a uke, please package the Hell out of it. You know delivery people kick our ukes. Cardboard really isn't as strong as you seem to think.
Third point: Case retailers. WTF? If you're selling a $24 case, please don't try to sell it for $96. You know I'm at the mercy of violent delivery people, sellers with misplaced faith in cardboard, and ukes that are FRAGILE. Marking up a case by $72 under these conditions is pure extortion.
My advice to ukulele buyers:
When buying online, purchase a sturdy case at a REASONABLE price and have it shipped to the uke seller. Have the uke seller ship the uke in the case provided.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in damage to your instrument, excessive mark-ups on accessories, or unnecessary dealings with the Damage Claims Department.
Thank you for listening.
