Yes but what are the chances that almost all of BERK's packaging was damaged. Even if UPS or USPS has a bad rep for handling packages, the odds of this many from one company, and same product is ridiculous. It almost seems deliberate. Perhaps the package handler(s) at BERK's local distribution center is a hater or has some beef with BERK or who knows what the motive is.

Oh and to be honest, I've had no complaints from packages that I've received from UPS. And I order a lot from Amazon.

I order a lot of stuff, a lot, and over time have noticed the larger the package the worse the damage is/will be. Maybe because size/weight puts it underneath more thus causing more issues or the fact of the size/weight the employees care less and treat it like a basketball.

How many ~90lb packages do you order from Amazon?

Ordering from Amazon and delivering 86-lb packages ful of metal pipe are two very distinct things. My wife's business receives large furniture shipments via UPS, Fedex every single day. It is astonishing how much product comes in damaged in-transit once the domestic carriers get their hands on it. Deliberate at Berk? No.

We order 75 lb computer UPS's on a regular basis. Probably almost 50% of these were getting damaged by UPS in transit. The UPS's aren't packed in the best packaging in the world, so if they get dropped from any height they break.

UPS doesn't use heavy equipment for handling packages unless it is freight (over 150 lbs). Anything over 70 lbs is supposed to be picked up by 2 people but that almost never happens. When the truck gets to the sorting facility the unloaders climb aboard and start slinging packages.

Got the exhaust about an hour ago... No obvious damage to the packaging but was on my way into work and haven't opened it yet. I'll see how it looks inside when I get home, later tonight.
