Here is what I found on my door step. I felt sick when I saw this. So I grabbed my camera just in case I needed to file a claim.

IT SURVIVED

Poor Mag went through hell and came out the other side just fine.

Cleaned up

Motor

Not sure if from UPS or what, the very bottom is scratched up

But I read out the coils and both read good!!!

One more Pic

I'd hesitate to call that good packing...

The bottom line is that it arrived relatively unscathed and still operational and that's what matters. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

So hooray for that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I don't know why with subs, ups goes all Ace Ventura on them????

I'm pretty sure it started off good. There is a good amount of packing materials, I just think it may have had a rough trip.

shipping a sub isnt exactly the easiest thing to do....glad it made it through!

Yea I keep seeing these threads with these huge 45lb+ drivers being shipped in cardboard and stryofoam. Spend the extra $10 and mount it to some MDF or some other type of wood. Cardboard and packaging peanuts don't cut it in my opinion..

Edit - You said that packaging was good? How was it packaged? (Not trying to start anything, just wondering)

I have seen just as much damage with the wood crates, its tough to protect anything the way they get thrown around

It has a lot of those pool noodles and peanuts. I couldn't tell you specifically how it was packaged cause it didn't arrive the way it left I'm sure.

I should have said it survived because of the amount of packing materials inside. The shipper also put plenty of arrows and "this side up" on the package, but I think UPS sees those and says "oh yea I got your this side up buddy", watch this"!!!!

No signing, it was left on my door step. But I agree with you.

I prefer my sellers DO NOT package the sub with wood.

Broken wood rammed right through a cone?
