You know it's a gonna be a bad pool day when . . .

The cue you've been waiting on for 2 months shows up and the box looks like this . . .

No , it's not one of those new Austrailian Boomerang cues and yes this is a true story.

How bad is it?

 

[RRfireblade]

Did you not catch the boomarang part ?

 

[RunoutalloverU]

what did the cue look like?

 

[RRfireblade]

Broken , not all the way thru , at the forearm/handle joint.

 

[Quesports]

Even from the outside the box looks FLIMSY to say the least. Must have been packed by a clown or maybe two clowns with a third clown for a helper!
Sorry for the mess u now have to deal with though, what a nightmare!!!

OUCH...........

My Starkey was delivered in a triangle box and it also had been bent/broken my the PO. Luckily for me,the cue was not damaged.

Hope it all works out for you.

Wow thats too bad. I hope you are properly compensated for your loss. If not you may need to learn Boomarang English....

If you end up stuck with this cue... not sure what part of florida you're in but TED HARRIS lives in hollywood he can probably fix it. I have a tad he is fixing right now along with a few others if you want to see his work. hope this gets resolved for you. best of luck.

sell it to an australian

 

[shinobi]

Far too flimsy a box to use for shipping a cue.

 

[arsenius]

Haha, we might have found a cue worthy of "The Oyster"!!!

Working on that part. Fortunately the shipping party is being very good about the whole thing and are claiming to do thier best to resolve the issue , what ever that may end up being. So we'll see.

Still sucks tho.

Shipping A Cue

I Have shipped a few cues and a cue make i know does also, and the idea i came up with is to goto a Print Shop and ask them for one of the roll ends with the chocks for the ends.

I Used to work for a printer, and these roll ends are very solid. about 1/4 inch thick and come in all sizes. just peel off the remaining paper that might be on them and you are set to go!

Believe me these things are solid, it would take an awful lot to crush them!

'Bout a 15 year old collectable. Not really expensive but certainly not cheap. Maybe in the 1K range.

Good reason to send a Cue in a tought PVC tube.
