FEDEX are crooks, i had a Akitika GT-102 shipped in the original box and packing from Tampa to Miami, was returned after making to St.Pete. It was returned box with 3 holes, dented box, Fedex had retaped to hide damage, half the molded packing was missing and the amplifier metal was sheared in half and bent silly. They rejected my claim saying bad packing ..liars, cheats and didn't not even look at the box and damage, just an outright rejection, UPS are no better a few years ago they denied a claim after putting a hole through box and the wood panels of the Emerald Physics 2.7's, only carrier i have not had appalling issues with is USPS
