Thanks UPS

I fail to see the issue. But seriously, I hope you get resolution from that.

Sheet metal can be easily kinked.

I agree, the packing sucked, just asking to get bent packed that way and guess what? It got bent.

The only was if can see this happening accidentally is if the driver had to slam the brakes REALLY hard in order to avoid an accident, causing everything inside the truck to shift forward, crushing your package. (Pun intended)

But even in that case, the driver could have taken much better care and secured the cargo... Especially if there's fragile cargo.

Lol, that's why they lose 2 billion dollars a quarter.

Only our government can run a business that loses 8 billion dollars a year and wonder why

In a reinforced box, not just wrapping it in cardboard.

I doubt very seriously this was the drivers fault! I work for an LTL freight company and trust me, if you knew how this stuff got handled, before it even reaches the delivery truck, you would NEVER ship anything again. (I don't work for UPS btw) all of your packages get stuffed into a trailer by some guy who's getting a paycheck whether your package is in good condition or not. (keep in mind that not all of us that work for these types of companies are like that but 85% are).

Only a few guarantees when it comes to shipping packages via UPS and FedEx, one of them is that if a package is marked "fragile" it's going to end up as a piece of junk by the time it reaches you. Seriously though, stuff like this needs to be packed better. A more rigid box with some cardboard reinforcing would have saved it from abuse. The shipper got lazy and should have known this was coming. You can probably get reimbursed from UPS, but chances are, that too will be a headache. You also end up having to wait for another car part to arrive.

This is a perfect example of some folks can break an anvil. In this case, a flat piece of sheetmetal. It is amazing.
