You're on target, Excaliber...
Slick...you're right on target. I've shipped TONS of stuff back and forth with FedEx in the 29 years I've been here. I even specify that vendors ship anything I order via FedEx. I've NEVER had anything lost...I've had some stuff misrouted/missorted, but it always turned up in a few days. The only time I had something mis-DELIVERED, was when I made a mistake on the recipients address...and that was MY fault. I'm not saying SCOBRAC's is the one to blame here, please don't make an assupmtion here. But, most shippers have no idea the high-speed sorting equipment most of our packages must travel through to get to their destination. Frankly, this equipment is tough on poorly packaged shipments. Therefore, whenever I ship something heavy-weight....cams, headers, side pipes, etc....I always wire a small tag to the item with my name, address, and phone number written on it. That way, should the item and it's packaging get separated, the item is labeled itself.
Bottom line is packaging can make you or break you. Make sure your packaging WILL NOT permit the contents to move around inside. Any movement here can cause the contents to rip through the packaging when the box is stopped by a diverter, or someother sort device. I've shipped side pipes, roll bars, headers, and cams all over the US with no problems because I made sure the item was securely packaged before it was sent. I pick up each box and shake the hell out of it...if I can hear movement, then it's not packaged well enough....open it up and repack it. Stryofoam peanuts work well...as does wadded up newspaper, excellsior, or something along those lines to completely fill the voids between the item and the package sides. I cannot stress this enough.
I sure hope we can find SCOBRAC's cyclinder head.
