So upset I wanted to cry...

Is it a sign that I shouldn't be selling the Tap? Am I being punished? Or.... does UPS really just SUCK eggs??

UPS really does just SUCK. A friend recently went through something similar when purchasing a track frame. The first frame arrived with damage in shipping. The *second* frame arrived with damage in shipping. The maker overnighted a third frame via FedEx, and he finally received an undamaged frame he could build up.

In going through all of that, he found out from the company that apparently they keep a list of cities that they won't even bother shipping to with UPS, because the handling is so horrible. After this debacle, his city (Houston) was added to the list.

Sorry your wheels were ruined. I hope you find resolution quickly.

(((((((BabyBlueNTulsa))))))) Cry if you want to, girlfriend.

I'd feel sick to my stomach ,too. I can understand the anticipation of a new part or accessory and the disappointment when it doesn't show up in perfect condition. Ups should cover this. Contact the company that you ordered the wheels from and they will usually handle the arrangements needed to replace your wheels with Ups themselves.
