Good Lord ,They must have ran it over with the truck that was carrying it before they tossed it in the back ! :eek:

At least the barrels were undamaged Craig had them rapped and packed tight in bubble rap. broke right by the fragile sign priceless. Thought they might refund shipping at least, wrong.

WOW! Calvin, I would have had a heart attack. I have put 1X4's in cardboard boxes to ship barrels and ship mostly with USPS. My stocker is in the country and likes guns shipped UPS to save him a trip to town to the PO Box.
Now, how about some pictures of the barrels Graig did. I like the looks of his work. Harry |
OMG..??!!!
That's amazing??! At first I thought it was a cardboard tube - but then noticed it was PVC...?? My jaw dropped.!!! :shock: Wow..... John |
That's nuts!!! :shock: Looks more like vandalism then an accident to me!! :cuss:What did the barrels look like?? If the contents were damaged I'd be seeking legal advice.

Guys.... As one who ships and receives on a daily basis I can tell you that when you pack something in an "indestructible" package like Calvin's PVC tube and mark it "Fragile" the gorillas at UPS and Fedex take that as a challenge and often go to lengths to damage it.
I use the same PVC tube but put it inside a corrugated carton with no "Fragile" labels or markings whatsoever. Never had a problem with this method. |
No way that was not done on purpose.I have run over the stuff with my van and not broke it when I was shipping bamboo rods and wanted something that could not be broken.

I don't think it was a truck, that my friends is what a forklift will do to a package, small wheels, and a "whole lot of weight":cuss:

I once shipped a rifle packed in a pine box, when it came back the barrel was sticking out the end of the box! Dean is right, ship in a cardboard box with no stickers on it. P.S. Probably makes you think twice about fibbing about the insurance to save a few bucks.
