Fedex FTMFL

A few months back I was standing in my kitchen...the doorbell rang....it was the fed-ex guy. I opened the door. He said "where's the package?" I said "What package?" He said "You know what I'm talking about" w/ some attitude. I said "No I don't" He said "is this ....?" "Yes" " then where's the package?" ""at that point I went inside without saying anything else to the douche. even if I had his mysterious package I wouldn't have given it to him cause he was such a ****ing toolbag about it...this is an isolated incident I'm sure, but i'd use ups before fed ex anyday...actually this is the exact reason I like to buy stuff at the store instead of dealing with this type of ish.

Thats not REs packaging. Re packs the subs in thick wooden tubes with a form inside that hugs the sub and a top that is bolted down.

oh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif someone did a poor job at packing it

That looks like a terrible pack job for such a heavy sub. You should not have accepted it.

i agree, for a woofer of that weight...that packaging job SUCKS. should have had it shipped in the original container...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif IMO its not fedex's fault for crappy packaging. have fun with that claim. its been 2 months since UPS lost a 50ft roll of kicker 1/0awg wire and i still have yet to see anything about it...

Yeah, we encourage our customers to keep the tubes just in case, and if they dont want to, we keep them here, just in case .

Decent crates FTW...am i going to have to do a speaker crate tutorial?

i think you should.

 

[CBFryman2 5,000+ posts]

Buy a big block of styrofoam and carve mang. Only way i can think of without having a vacume mold of the sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

I wish I had taken pics of the crate I just sent out. But alas.

I may build another with a mach up 12 just so these threads dont happen anymore.

holy crap where did you purchase this from? I purchased mine from Toxic Tuan and it was packaged great. It was in this huge very heavy round block crate with like 5 long fine thread allen screws in it...

 

[LeofromtheH 10+ year member]

i dont think it was fedex's fault that the packaging was so shity

 

[squeak12 10+ year member]

Wrap it up real good and go to town with expanding foam in a wooden crate, but not too much where it breaks something.
