Apprently a FedEx driver that weighs 500 lbs decided to sit on my package from Sam:

Luckily although the air filter box was partially crushed it was still undamaged. Also, the package from Sam was packaged pretty well with tons of styrofoam peanuts.

My UPS horror story. 3 years ago I ordered a custom Weatherby rifle. When it arrived the shop called me to say that the box was damaged in shipping and they wanted me there when they opened it. I show up they bring out the box, it was literally mumified in duct tape. Cut through the tape and open the box, the rifle stock was sheared into two pieces and the barrel was bent. Keep in mind it is a kevlar reinforced fiberglass stock and a heavy profile fluted barrel. How in the hell they were able to do this I have no idea. I'm thinking it was shipped UPS Next Day Air, the pilot was a former naval aviator and my box was used as an arrestor hook when the plane landed.

Fortunately everything was taken care of and Weatherby only took 2 weeks instead of the original 3 months to get me another rifle. There is no way that that kind of damage could have been accidental.
