[35th_Anniversary...]

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.

...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.

When I worked at Jegs, we would get Richmond 6 speeds back that had the tailshaft smashed all the way flush with the body of the trans case (8" or more). They would have had to drop them off the roof of the building, tail first. We also had a guy run out to help the UPS guy unload his new Richmond 6 speed, just in time to see the UPS guy roll it off the back of the truck and onto the street with his foot (to save lifing it). The case was shattered when it hit and the customer was pissed. Or, a guy had a cam next day air freighted (to make a race) and as the driver came trotting up to the door, the cam in one hand (swinging his arm as he ran), it came out of the abused box, flew over the customers head and broke into 3 pieces when it struck the concrete porch behind him (it launched out of there on the upswing of his arm, and took flight). These were all UPS deliveries. The list goes on, but those are some of the most memorable.

They didn't do well with the Mustang T5's either. We got a larger percentage of them back smashed (If you are ever in a Jegs retail store and see a liberty T5, it was sent to them to be fixed after UPS smashed it and it has been fully rebuilt/upgraded. We didn't stock those transmissions from Liberty, we had them done to save the product so it had some value. We didn't insure transmissions for very much money and had to eat almost all of the damage, so a rebuild and sale was better than throwing it out).
